#116 of 331 Use 4th gear in the auto trans. for in town driving by 09taco Apr 25, 2009 (6:34 pm)
Thanks also for that toyota number, I'll be calling also, with some questions. I do have a 09 with only 900 miles or so, and having the same issues as everyone else. I did notice that when I drive in town and doing alot of stop and go, I put the auto.trans in 4th gear and it seems to work better, not shifting as much, When I'm on the highway I put the trans in D which is overdrive. Maybe its just me, but I'm going to give this a try and see how this works out. If anyone else tries this and it works better Please let me know.....maybe we can compare on how this works

The transmission problems are probably linked to HAC and DAC features. I was planning on purchasing a 09 tacoma but will go with a 08. Replies to this message: hackattack5 (May 28, 2009 2:55 am) jodyg69 (May 28, 2009 5:33 am) hackattack5 (May 28, 2009 5:38 pm)

Replying to: fishalot (Apr 22, 2009 11:56 am) I test drove a brand new 2009 Tacoma at my dealership the other day and experienced the same engine rev while accelerating from a slower speed. The chief mechanic at Balise Toyota in West Springfield Mass told me that it is most likely a design issue. He reset the computer and told me to drive around town for 15 minutes before getting on the highway. After following his advice I am STILL experiencing the same issue. I am going to file a complaint with the 800 number given in one of the e-mails.   thanks for the correspondences.

#120 of 331 I too am trying and filing complaints.... by dbys Apr 29, 2009 (9:57 am)
I tried the " putting it in 4th gear in town" and what a difference. It hardly clunks anymore. Still does on highway, not as hard or bad. I'm frequently on the freeway. I also got all email address's and phone numbers - will be calling and emailing for all complaints. Will keep you in touch - by the way, i'm the one with the 2006.

Replying to: gjlax (Apr 29, 2009 4:05 am) Wesley Chapel Toyota here in Tampa area test drove my truck yesterday and said it was normal. However, the mechanic reset the computer and told me to do the same thing, drive around for about 30 minutes with many stop and go's. Guess what, transmission still acting the same and hesitating when stepping on gas after decelerating. He said it will take about 1,000 miles for the computer to learn my habits (a different Toyota dealer mechanic had told me 5,000 miles). To top off my frustrations, now I have a vibrating rattle coming from the passenger side door. Panel over door lock and window controls. Replies to this message: tacoma1958 (Apr 30, 2009 7:38 am)

Replying to: tacomashane (Apr 30, 2009 7:14 am) I'd like to see where the "1000 mile" benchmark is mentioned in any Toyota publication. And if the truck is normal why would they reset anything. That just doesn't ring true.   B
#123 of 331 2009 tacoma transmission slip flare by tacoma1958 May 10, 2009 (5:53 pm)
Does anyone know if shift data (gear # /rpm/ speed) can be retrieved from the truck's computer? If so, I'm hoping that be evidence of a flare. Any help appreciated.   B
#124 of 331 2009 tacoma transmission slip by chiweiho May 20, 2009 (1:48 pm)
Well.. mine is finally screwed....after 125k it died. I had the same problem as you guys since 2001, the slip, clunk, the dealer mechanic and Toyota Office of the president "go screw your self" speech, if you guys have the problems now, please make sure you document it and stay on it, after a year the dealer will blow you off.   "this is the first time i heard about it" from Toyota is bogus, i called since 2001 about my transmission. "computer to learn my habits" is bogus too. Replies to this message: tacomashane (May 20, 2009 3:02 pm)

Replying to: chiweiho (May 20, 2009 1:48 pm) Chiweiho, was your transmission run by a computer?   For everyone else, here is an update on my Tacoma. Since I took it back to the dealer and they reset the computer, it seems to be better as it has not slipped or had that hesitation to engage the gears when I slow down and turn onto another street. Still not a smooth shifting pattern though like my 2000 Nissan Frontier. My Nissan transmission is still like new and I barely feel any shifting to this day and it has 150,000 miles on it.
