I accidentally unscrewed the transmission fluid drain plug while doing an oil change & lost some tranny fluid.... 2 questions: (1) Can I pour replacement automatic transmission fluid down the tranny dipstick tube? (2) Is there a specific kind of auto. trans. fluid for the 2006 Tacoma?

I just bought a new 07 Tacoma manual 5 speed. First gear is very "rough" to shift into. Does anybody know - Can you adjust the stick shift to make it smoother? Does it get smoother over time? Or am I stuck with it? Thanks in advance Carl |

I have a 2002 Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 with an auto transmission that we have owned since new. In addition to the persistent water leak and bad brakes we now are experiencing a problem with the tranny not wanting to go into Park or Reverse. I have only seen one other post on this in the forums and it was dated back in '02. Right now the truck is parked in neutral and of course you cant remove the key. Oh what a feeling! Not!  Oh yes the rig only has 65k. Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: cjenning (Dec 20, 2006 10:44 am) But, my main complaint is that shifting from first to second often has a noticeable crunch that the other gears don't usually produce. Again, I'm being very careful to keep the clutch all the way in and shift slowly. I've driven stick-shift all my life, but always on little cars like Honda Accords and Integras. They've always shifted very smoothly. Now I'm trying to decide if there's something wrong with my new Tacoma or if this is just what it's like to drive a truck. Thanks, --mgm

03' dbl cab pre runner auto Trans. and at about 58,000 miles it started jumping when put into drive. Take it from park into drive and it pauses so we would give it a little more gas and it would jump or jerk into drive. It feels like it's slipping gears as it would when driving a stick shift but it being an automatic we were worried. First chance we took it to a Trans. shop and upon doing this it was difficult for them because it doesn't "jump" every time, just here and there. The readings they did on the truck produced nothing but they told us we needed a new transmission to fix the problem. We had the new Trans put in and got the truck back, 2 days later it jerked again!!! Taking it back to the shop they then told us it was the passenger rear brake locking up and we then paid them to adjust that. Yeah then a few days after getting it back again IT DID IT AGAIN!!! Now they are trying to charge us even more to redue the drums on the rear driver side because now they are saying that side is locking up also and is worn and rusted while the other side looks brand new. I'm no expert but if my rear brakes are locked up wouldn't it happen all the time not jump just once in a while? any ideas what else to look into?
