#36 of 338 Re: 2006 Tacoma Auto. Trans. Fluid [killjoy72] by bm1985mitch Jul 03, 2007 (6:55 pm)
Replying to: killjoy72 (Dec 17, 2006 7:47 pm) I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road automatic and I regularly perform routine maintenance. I was looking and there is no dipstick. I called Toyota Corp. and they said that it is a sealed transmission and has no dipstick, so I am guessing if you make this little "boo boo" you may have to take it to a dealer to perform the task, after you buy your transmission fluid elsewhere, recommending World Standard (WS) Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF).
#37 of 338 trd rear locker by airembolism Jul 24, 2007 (4:00 pm)

Replying to: airembolism (Jul 24, 2007 4:00 pm) its not possible, its a safety feature to keep people from driving with the rear axle locked. I had the same problem, so I took my truck in to be looked at, they said nothing was wrong with the rear locker and that it would only lock in 4Lo. We even tried it in two other cars on the lot and it was the same for them also. Two wheel drive tacoma's that have a rear locker are different, they will lock anytime since its only a two wheel drive, but if you have the rear axle locked in a two wheel drive, once you turn the wheel left or right(which you aren't supposed to do when using the locker) the rear axle will unlock automatically to prevent damage. So as far as I know, 4 Lo only on 4wd. Thats the only way I can get it to work on my tacoma.
#39 of 338 Tranny downshift by jerryd2 Sep 23, 2007 (9:03 am)
I just found this forum and glad I did. A lot of good info here. I seem to have the same problem a few of you are having with tranny shifting on the tacoma. When I come to a stop the transmission will not downshift to first gear until I take my foot off the brake. Also, it stays in 2nd until 30 mph unless the engine is hot. I've read a few old posts about this. Has anyone found a solution for this problem. I took it to the dealer back when it was under warranty, but couldn't "reproduce" the problem. A mechanic told me if I removed the drive shaft, regreased it, it would stop the shifting problem for a while. Thanks for any help. Replies to this message: luvuvride (Sep 23, 2007 2:57 pm)

Replying to: jerryd2 (Sep 23, 2007 9:03 am) i have a 2001 v6 doublecab, does exactly both of those characteristics. it has a tranny that by design wants to reach the highest gear asap which i feel causes that binding at stop. it will switch to 1st (sometimes with a clunk-disturbing) upon rolling slightly foreward. it's done this from new and for some reason i'm not concearned-ijust think it's a design quirk. as far as the cold start thing i know for sure that toyota trannys like ours won't upshift to 3rd and up until it reaches a set temp value...probably a longevity trait. i find it beneficial to warm up in the driveway until you see the temp needle start to move up-it's better for everything anyway if you don't throw a load on cold moving parts
#41 of 338 tire size by piperb13 Oct 23, 2007 (8:14 am)

Replying to: piperb13 (Oct 23, 2007 8:14 am) 265/75 16 is the largest size without any rubbing issues. Anything taller and your looking at lifting the front 2 to 3"
#43 of 338 Re: jumping when put in drive [baker615] by don52351 Nov 23, 2007 (3:43 pm)
Replying to: baker615 (Jan 17, 2007 8:58 am) baker615: I have a '94 toyota that jumps when put in gear also. Sometimes it shifts really hard, but not all the time. It sounds like I have the same problem that you have. Someone mentioned taking the slip joint off the drive shaft and cleaning it. I will try that tomorrow. If anyone has other suggestions, please let me know. Don
#44 of 338 transmission problems... by trd510 Nov 25, 2007 (5:19 pm)
I think i have a problem too with my tacoma truck and its a 2000 model and it has like over 50,000 miles on it now... when i was changing my oil and after i was done with that i turn it on and its a automatic and not a stick... so i tried to back it up and put it to R right and then all of sudden it would back up and i had to gas a little... then i put it to D and all of sudden its not going forward and its parked in my driveway at my friends house... so i dunno whats wrong with it... is it either that it needs a transmission fluid or is the transmission broked down... let me know anyone and need some help and tips here, thanks!

#45 of 338 clutch problems by iam4volzz Nov 26, 2007 (6:14 pm)
I have 2001 tacoma 4x4 trd 6cy maunal transmission. right now when you push the clutch in, sometimes is sticks to the floorboard and will not come back up unless you physically pull it up. While it is stuck in that "to the floor" position, the transmission is still engaged, as if it had no clutch. Is my clutch going bad...any suggestions? thanks in advanced Replies to this message: thanson (Jul 21, 2008 5:13 pm) iam4volzz (Jul 22, 2008 4:29 pm)
