Stuttering/ lugging in an automatic transmission???

Hard to believe what I'm reading in these posts. Its like were discussing totally different tacoma's.

 

My 18 Sport does it. Like OP said, it feels like a bumpy road. Only seems to be under 2k rpms. Like others, I've learned to live with it. I have the KDMax tune and it doesn't really help the shuttering. When it pisses me off I just mash the throttle! I just paid it off and I'm not even thinking about getting rid of it. No vehicle is perfect and I love my truck!

 

Which throttle settings?

 

Normal. I actually just bought the KDMax dongle/cable so I can experiment with the different tunes.

 

Go Sport. To overcome/minimize the shudder, it needs more the throttle opening per given accelerator. Also, the downshift is sooner compare to Normal. You should see improvements.

 

Lite works well too. normal seems the worst for mine. Ski

 

I mean i think my auto truck drives great with the occasional sloppiness. And this is coming from someone who has driven stick most their life

 

I flashed to Sport and yes much better than Normal. Sport combined with new Bilstein 5100s, shes happier!
