Tranny Wont Shift

05 Tacoma 159k all of the sudden (after frame recall fix)

If I shift auto transmission into out of park, the shifter moves, but the truck doesn't go into gear(in all gears) nor does it register the shift on gauge cluster indicator.
I'm guessing theres a shift position sensor or something? Please help, Taco stranded.

 

Sounds like the linkage between the shifter and the tranny disconnected.

 

Pretty sure the dealership screwed something up during frame recall fix, doubt they'll own up to it. 160k, no problems until they got a hold of it.

 

Slap that hoe and tell her to move!

 

How long ago did you have the frame replace? They will own up to it. Just have to tell them

 

About 3 weeks ago, I'll give them a call, but until then. That truck is stuck in park. In a buddies driveway. uggh

 

STICKY SHIFTER / SHIFTER IS HARD TO MOVE
Most of us would disconnect the shifter cable from the transmission lever and then verify the cable is free by hopping in the truck and moving the shifter from park to low . We should feel nothing because the shifter cable is no longer connected to the transmission . If the shifter is still tight to move , we know that the issue resides in the cable or the plastic shifter cover . A quick lube job is going to fix that up .

Next , with the shifter cable removed from the transmission lever , try and manually move that transmission lever by hand . You should feel click , click , click and it should be fairly easy to move with your hands . If you cant move it by hand , remove the PRNDL switch shown on page 16 at this link , it shows the switch in question . Spray the heck out of it . Some guys actually have to replace the PRNDL switch becuase of corrosion .The PRNDL switch gets very tight when it corrodes

When the switch is removed , you can spray the seal on the transmission that sits behind the switch to see if there are additional problems with the lever shaft since the lever shaft is also known to corrode .
, then take a small screwdriver and pry the lever seal away from the shifter selector shaft enough to blast some lubricant between the seal until you get the lever to move by hand .Might have to work it back and forth a little but its going to free up . You should have the wheels blocked when you do this .Both of these issues are very common

Next , place the transmission gear shifter in park and " REMOVE THE KEY "
Throw the key on the drivers seat until your done .
Go to rear of truck and manually push it by hand to verify the truck is actually in park . Go back under the truck and check to see if the shifter cable lines up perfectly with the hole in the transmission lever . If it doesnt line up , adjust the shifter cable until it fits perfectly into the transmission lever . The adjustment is under the shift counsole .
Once the cable is aligned with the transmission shift lever , verify the truck will only start in park and nuetral .

UPDATE:

Thanks all for your input, turns out the shifter cable was "unclipped". This was a two person job to diagnose, once the tow truck guy got there, he crawled underneath, I shifted, then we could see the cable kind of hopping around, he grabbed it and pulled until, the indicator on the dash said we were in drive, drove it onto the flatbed, hauled it to the dealership, easy fix, nothing out of pocket.

Gotta give some props to Kings Toyota, although they didn't admit it was on them (hard to tell), they fixed it.
