    Hi, my 2nd gen Tacoma transmission is slipping going into 3rd gear. Is it worth it to have it flushed? Any trouble shooting I should do before seeking a replacement? Thanks!

    Could you give us a bit more information ?
    Mileage ?
    How often has the trans fluid been changed ?
    How long has this been happening ?
    Does it slip when cold and hot ?
    Third gear is also used to obtain reverse . Does the transmission slip in reverse as well ?

    Hmm . . . none as yet, that's why i'm here . . .
    I would drop the pan and observe how big the metal particles are in the fluid. That will tell you what to do next
