Low Idle and Transmission issue

has anyone seen any improvements by adding ATF to it? any suggestions?

 

I added almost a whole quart of atf ws myself and it still has the delay when cold. I guess this is normal

 

I can't say for certain, but I believe the trans shifts into neutral when you are sitting with still foot on brake. So in the morning when you shift to drive, its still in neutral technically until you release brake and give it a little throttle.

 

Strange . I have never heard of this ?
Is this part of the new Toyota programming ?
Most vehicles remain in drive until you move the shifter to a different gear
Where did you find this updated information ?

 

Its becoming standard on modern transmissions. By dropping into neutral they can squeeze just a hair more MPG. Like I said though, I have no idea if toyota is using this strategy.

 

But the thing is that it only does this when cold

 

Mine does it anytime its been sitting more than half hour or so

 

Ok well next time mine has been sitting for a half hour or a little more, I'll see if I notice it

 

Went to take mine in, they added .6L (metric in canada) I'll see tomorrow how it goes

 

I checked mine and added about 3/4 quart. Still delays on first drive of the day. However if you wait just a few seconds after putting it in gear, then release the brake, it does not have the delay/lag. I believe it to be normal for this truck. I also believe .75 low won't hurt it.

 

Whats the procedure on checking the fluid?

 

This is not normal - if fluid doesn't fix it, there is some kind of a defect.

 

toyota tech?

 

Fact or opinion?

 

hi guys please make a phone call to Toyota from California 800-331-4331 and put the complaint about it, and take case# for your record, this problem is not normal dealer people work for Toyota not for us and all the problems for this people is normal, I have my case # already.

 

How that going to help? Make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

 

I called the office of toyota and they said that it was not a problem beacause nobody makes complaint to them if people make the complaint and make case# they need take action.

 

Hi,, the people on my local deler adding 1.5 ATF and my truck do the same thing.

 

Mine has been at the dealer since yesterday . Still no call from the dealer nor any news, but from what i hear from others I don't see them doing anything about it to fix it

 

A general question to everybody that is experiencing this issue, How many miles do you have on your truck? could it be a break in period for the transmission or something? could it be that it will get better as the truck gets more mileage ?
