Transmission jolts when decelerating

Alright family, question! Im noticing that my 16 SR5 jolts into gear kinda hard when braking from higher speeds. I believe it's jolting into 1st or second gear. My truck has 18,000 miles on it so I don't know how I'm having tranny problems. I notice it most when I brake/decelerate a bit harder from 30 to 15 mph.... Anyone else notice this or have the same issue??? Help!

 

I've only noticed it once when it was cold. After it warmed up, no.

 

I agree with that! It's been cold here in Ohio and it'll do it when it's cold.

 

Don’t brake hard

 

Mine does this too, but only when cold. The past couple of mornings its been in the 20s and will do for the first half of the drive to work and clears up by the time I get there. In the evening after work its been in the 50s and does not do it at all. I have a 2018 with just over 2,000 miles.

 

Yea. Usually in the first minute/mile until things get a little warmed up.

 

Bro... Don't even

 

Tranny oil level is good?

 

That was my first instinct, I will have them check it when I do my first oil change... Just bought the truck in December.

 

Properly checking the transmission fluid level is not just a quick thing and involves a few steps and labor time that most dealers will want to charge you for it. If you still have a valid powertrain warranty in place, I would recommend making a warranty claim for the issue in the hopes they check the fluid level as part of the troubleshooting as they will be reimbursed by Toyota for that.

 

I think it's a lifetime powertrain warranty with this dealer. I'll look into it. Thank you!

 

18k miles for 2016?
Just noticed the jolt? Jolt was there from day 1

 

Read the fine print of your "Lifetime" dealer provided warranty. They usually only pick up after any remaining factory warranty expires. Also, 99.9% of those dealer provided lifetime warranties have language that "ALL" scheduled services no matter how great or small have to be performed by the selling dealership before they will honor their warranty. That means paying full shop rate for those services also. Most of those dealer provided lifetime warranties are not worth the paper they are written on as they usually can find some misstep of non compliance by the owner to invalidate their warranty.

 

I noticed it when it was cold out this winter. And yeah 18,000 miles lol

 

You are not alone. Your tranny is fine. It is related to many factors, one of them is programmed shift tables

 

Ok ok, I figured... Just felt very different than my 09 TRD dcsb. I actually had to sell my old girl because the torque converter and pumps were going out. Pushed her too hard. But this is my third one, and love it. Only complaint so far is that it doesn't have a driver side 'oh shit' bar.

 

They all do it, feels like I get rear ended everytime in mine. Whole truck shakes

 

Ditto.

 

Things that will help smooth out the jolt
-tranny flash tsb
-greasing drive shafts
-retorquing driveshafts
-retorquing ubolts
-and checking your transmission level (would reccomend doing it yourself....some dealers aren't very honest)

I think my jolt is gone...at least I havent noticed it in a while, usually it irritates me a lo ittle.

 

I've done all this, doesn't make any difference
