2021 Sport slips when decelerating

My 2021 Sport feels like it has a slight slip when slowing down. It has 41000 miles on it. Anyone have ideas why?

 

are you the 1st owner?

 

Can you give a better description of what you mean by "slip"? Engine? Transmission? Brakes? Tires?

 

I am the 2nd owner. Feels like it may the transmission but I am not sure

 

I’m not following you. Can you explain your problem in different words?

 

Can you describe what the slip feels like? Going into neutral? Tires slipping on the surface of the road? Varied amounts of deceleration?

 

Going into neutral maybe...

 

I assume what you are referring to is when the transmission automatically downshifts.

 

Instead of theorizing what is causing the issue, can you describe what it feels, sounds, looks like, and smells like? Gives us your sensory data. Also explain what you are doing with the trucks controls, what speed you are going, and anything else that describes the situation.

 

When I let off the accelerator after a few seconds it feels like it goes out of gear and then goes back in

 

It’s called “engine braking”. The Tacoma's transmission will automatically downshift when it detects the vehicle is slowing down downhill, using the engine's resistance to slow the vehicle and reduce wear on the brakes. This is a normal and intended behavior of the transmission.

 

Ok. I think that may be the case. I was worried about a possible repair.

 

Torque converter unlocks when off of accelerator and goes fully locked when you step on the accelerator

 

My 2022 Sport does it.
You are good

 

Thanks everyone
I appreciate it.
