    during the test drive of a sport model i found that it stuck in gear while I driving a high way speed, but soon fixed itself. This problem does not exist in a off road access cab I test drove right before I ordered my Pro. all tacos mentioned above are standard shift.

    Are there actually a software for a stick shift? I thought I the only input in that transmission is my clutch and a stick. The OR I test drive for several hours( I bought the car u get to keep the demo running around the city a while) nothing happens. A bad transmission?

    I try to took it out of 6 and it require a lot of effort, then try to put in 5th, doesn't work, 4th? Doesn't work, solution: double clutching. The vehicle has been sent to services since the sales person couldn't explain what just happened.

    This is full of win. Seems every poster on a "no issues with my 3rd Gen. tread" is posting their issues with their trucks. Thankfully, there's only a couple hundred of the same type threads.

    That's not a good sign while the tranny failed during a test drive isn't it. Good thing is s standard shift is way more simpler/cheaper/bulletproof than a automated shift so anything happens you can still make to an closer repair shop or fix it below a grand. An automatic? Try to put in drive while it's in limp mode.

    The only issue I have is the shudder while coming to a stop and the TSB for that
    dropped last week so as soon as new leafs & steering dampener come in and
    they replace it I should be good to go. Just feels a bit odd when braking but it's
    not a big deal, it's been going on a year now, kinda used to it.
