Having issues with poor acceleration in 2017 manual Tacoma

I recently experienced my acceleration to be slow. Then it got a little better and recently got worse again. But specially 3rd gear it revs quickly, like the gear got shorter and have to shift to 4th gear a lot sooner then before. When I enter 4th gear there is a lot of lag before it starts picking up the pace. Any ideas

 

Is your clutch slipping?

 

what are your RPMs at when you do these shifts and when it "picks up the pace"?

It picks up pace after 4th gear but still doesn't feel as powerful as before.

 

That doesn’t answer the question.

When you are in 4th gear, when it’s slow to pick up speed, is the rpm on the dash going up quickly?

 

Yes rpm rise quickly and have to shift earlier than before. I haven't checked what rpms at what speed. I will tomorrow. Thanks

 

If you step on the gas, RPM revives up with little acceleration, it appears your clutch is slipping. How many miles on your truck?

 

You have to keep the revs up...at least 3k RPMs and up.

 

Sounds like you clutch is toast

don't be shy with the RPMs

 

How many miles?

Without further information, I'll third the smoked clutch.

 

Tacomas go hand in hand with poor acceleration. Although based on @Drifter49 vague explanation of what's going on it sounds like a clutch/pressure plate issue.

Get up to to 4th gear and about 2500 RPM and floor it. If the revs climb but the truck isn't speeding up that's a good indicator the clutch/pressure plate isn't holding.

 

Either your clutch is slipping, or your pressure plate isn't pressure plating.

If it's a slipping clutch, could be for a few reasons. You could have worn it down and it's not gripping. Could also be fluid/oil in the clutch from a failed rear main seal, or water intrusion.
