Toyota has a fail safe sensor in the transmission that prevents the truck from shifting or moving when the temperature of the fluid gets too hot. Great idea but need to tell consumers about it too.

#19 of 26 2000 Tundra Auto Trans Slippage by jjflorida

Jun 13, 2011 (1:02 pm)

I have a 2000 Tundra with a 4.7L engine and automatic transmission. The transmission seems to go into neutral while stopped and then hesitates to go back to first gear when I hit the accelerator. The truck has just over 100,000 miles and has been serviced. The problem did go away after I had the radiator replaced about a year ago but it has resurfaced recently.
 
Any ideas?

good luck i had a 07 the front diff and two cv axles were replaced not under warrenty at 62000 miles i called toyota for help and was told i wasent a loyal toyota customer because i only had one toyota. i did a lot of looking and found a t-s-b bulliten about clunking noise heard in front ends they have a shim kit thet will be installed that is if someone hears the noise i was going to sue toyota and the dealer when toyota refunded me the 4,500 i had paid to replace the front end two years later. i have a 2011 tundra now and have issues with this one with only 13000 on it after this one i will never buy another tundra

My 2008 Tundra 4WD makes a clunking clashing sound in the front end when the rear wheels slip but sometimes at other events. Selecting 4WD high range most often causes the transmission to shift very hard and loud. It is impossible sometimes to get this truck into 4WH low. I bought this truck new and have had it back to the dealer twice with no help. 35,000 miles. Any ideas?

Sounds as if you're using 4WD when you shouldn't be. You have a "PART-TIME" 4WD system that should NEVER be engaged except on a KNOWN slippery, low-traction surface.
 
Also, even on a low traction surface you should disengage 4WD once underway, traveling above ~20-25 MPH.
 
Since 4X4 mode "4WD low", uses a spline/dog type clutch so it will often be difficult to engage, trying rolling slowly, VERY slowly, backward while shifting into 4X4 mode.

#24 of 26 change the filter by drevs

You should be flushing it, there's a lot of fluid that stays in your tranny so when you just exchange the fluid in the oil pan your not getting much of the oil, you should also change the filter.

#26 of 26 2000 Tundra won't go into gear, but gear shifter moves. by ddaurora

Feb 03, 2013 (2:24 pm)

I have a 2000 Tundra with a 6 cyl. engine and automatic transmission. The transmission seems to go into neutral while stopped and then hesitates to go back to first gear when I hit the accelerator. Now I can't get the transmission engaged at all, even though the gear selector moves. The truck has 133,000 miles and has been serviced.
  
Any ideas?
