Transmission recall?

Came across this on ttora.. Did a little searching about this transmission recall that this guy was talking about and came up empty. Could it have possibly just been a TSB?

 

Bueller?

 

I call BS on the recall.

Even if there was a recall or TSB....the dealerships KEEP the parts they remove. There's no way he would've been able to keep it.

 

I guess it pays off to know a toyota tech.

 

I know there's been a shit ton of throw out bearings and bell housings replaced on the 6 speeds due to the aluminum part that the bearing slides on wearing and is part of the bell housing. There is some company now making a sleeve kit of some sort that IIRC, Toyota was gonna start using on these warranty issues. Not thinking this ever got past being a TSB.

Found this, looks like Toyota is working on a different fix than the PDM kit but there is a cure it seems...........

ya know, i am actually having a problem w/ my transmission. when it drops 2 gears (passin gear) it sticks at 3k RPMs for over 5 seconds even if you completely take your foot off the pedal. then u can feel it shift out of 3k to 2k RPMs.

i wish someone had an answer for this as i have had no luck so far. i brought mine to the dealership bc i have extended warranty & they checked the fluid said it was good. they then tell me that there was a recall notice that came with whatever recall that was for the floor mats stating it was for the transmission shifting patterns to be changed.

i thought this was odd bc i actually got the floor mat recall letter & i didnt see this supposed transmission wording anywhere.

so i still have the problem & its actually worse. dont know if its the transmission filter, if its really goin out or what. would LOVE to know if anyone else has experienced something like this at all. i have 80k miles.

 

From what I understand that shifting issue tsb that got done when they do the brake over-ride/pedal recall was for shifting issues they were having with the 08 or 09 automatics. I have a 07 automatic and haven't experienced any problems but then again I only have just over 15,000 miles on the truck. Have you got your transmission fluid changed yet? I plan on getting mine changed out at 50,000 miles.

 

And..... if the transmission was removed due to a recall and someone got their hands on it.... You'd turn around and sell it to 'screw' the buyer?

That's a really good idea...

Makes you wonder exactly 'why' the tranny was pulled in the first place? There's no responses in that thread about any recall information. Knowing these toyota forums - someone would've found it by now if there was one.
