My advice, don't remove the door panel, the replacement parts will break just as fast as the old ones.
 
Make new links out of metal. I made mine out of Aluminum and they will last forever, and cost much less than $35 per side.

I serviced the transmission by the maintenance schedule provided by Toyota - to the letter.
    
The truck NEVER towed; it doesn't have a hitch. I didn't even haul heavy loads in the bed. Five sheets of plywood -max.
 
As I indicated in previous e-mails: get rid of Tundras as soon as you can after the 60K drivetrain warranty is up. To hope that you'll be the guy in the commercial at 100K or 200K is a "roll-of-the-dice." The cost of the new transmission is not worth it. More importantly, you are going to find that NOBODY in the Toyota customer service chain will offer help. My son bought one on my recommendation: I told him to "dump it" ASAP.
 
I contacted the 800 national number - their answer "you are on your own" for the repair. They would not even allow me to speak to the regional Toyota rep - wouldn't even give me the phone number. National took my complaint, and said they would "put it in the file" but "nothing would change." Spoke to the dealership owner, and he said that he would call Toyota - called him back twice; he never returned my calls.
 
Every body I spoke to said it was so uncommon for this to happen. HOWEVER, they had a transmission to the dealer in less that 24 hours. I wondered why a part so "uncommon" to replacement was so readily available.
 
I AM CONVINCED OF TWO THINGS: TOYOTA IS UNWILLING TO STAND BEHIND THE DRIVETRAIN BEYOND 60000 MILES and THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WILL NOT AND DOES NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH IT.
 
I have owned Toyota trucks before, was ready to purchase another Tundra next year - this one is the last.
 
      GOOD LUCK WITH AGING TUNDRAS

I wish I had seen this forum BEFORE I had purchase my second Toyota truck. My truck began with the same issue and very quickly the transmission totally failed - no forward gears, no reverse.
 
Recommend you get rid of your truck ASAP, especially if you are over 60K. After that the transmission is on borrowed time at your expense.
 
I just replaced the transmission in my TUNDRA - 87000 miles, serviced according to maintenace schedule, never towed - cost $3500.00
 
Neither the service department, or Toyota National, or the owner of the dealership wanted to stand behind the powertrain. I was on my own for the repair despite the claims and commercials of the 100K and 200K mileage Toyotas.
 
As I indicated in previous e-mails: get rid of Tundras as soon as you can after the 60K drivetrain warranty is up.

I have owned two Toyota Trcucks and was going to purchase a third. I am currently driving my last Toyota - the trucks are not able to sustain the "long haul" and Customer Service for loyal repeat customers is non-existent.
  
           GOOD LUCK WITH AGING TUNDRAS
