2023 SR Automatic Transmission

What in the heck is wrong with this transmission?! It's super annoying!

 

* its all in your head*

 

keep it off cruise control... Lol.

 

What the heck was wrong with your test drive?
Great first post btw

 

....And it's only Tuesday.......

 

Have you tried running with the ECT button on?

 

Truck drive fine.

 

Look give it a few thousand miles to break in.
Drive it smooth, steady as she goes.

You bought a Truck, not a BMW.

Ain't nothing wrong with these trucks....

 

Your Aisin transmission is fine and dandy. You’re probably annoyed by the “environmental” programming that forces your trans to be in the highest possible gear in the shortest amount of time. Easily fixable.

 

Good trans, bad programing coupled with a motor that lacks low end torque.

 

^^ polite golf-clapping from down the bayou south central Louisiana for this dead bang comment ^^

 

Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick

 

It stumbles around like it is half asleep. After a while you will learn how adjust the gas pedal to get the most out of the engine. It likes more throttle at higher rpm. I no longer have an issue with it.

 

My 2023 is more annoying than our 2016 RAV4.
I think mine needs an OTT tune.. will get one as soon as CARB legal in CA.

 

I cut out my floorboard so i can use my feet to help accelerate and stop, it has made all the difference.
I recommend it to everyone.

 

My silverado 6sp. was worse

 

OTT tune and premium fuel. Huge difference.

Waiting on the CARB certification as well. Need this OTT tune before duck season when I make 1,000 mile trips every other weekend. Driving over the Grapevine is annoying with the stock tune.

 

Some people have discovered that their transmissions were way underfilled at the factory. You could at least check that.
