    While it is at the toyota have them do a full inspection to see if there are other things needing repair. They should be willing to do it for free since it will mean more repairs ford is paying for.

    If they're gonna fix it under warranty, I would keep it. What's wrong with the 6 speed anyway?

    Personally, I'd get the work done under warranty, sell it and look for another one. You seem pretty concerned about what else might be wrong with it and there are plenty of other nice used Tacos out there with lower mileage. Might as well just get another one that you can fully enjoy without having to worry about what will go next. Just my 2 cents
