last 5 of my vin is 00848. fwiw...

not sure about the hard shifting issue, but maybe the lag and the hard shift are one in the same or maybe they are not... all i do know is that i felt that there was a delay in the shifting at low speeds, and the drivabilty was crap, even my wife said its drove goofy. whatever the tsb was, it...

hi all, thought id chime in again because i just hauled a 4000 lb trailer about 450 miles including a couple grades and i was actually quite impressed with how well it did. (coming from a previous cummins owner). the transmission shifted perfeclty and i did not notice it hunting around, and the...

right on! glad you got it fixed. made me feel a whole lot better about my truck in general. oh what a feeling...to drive a toyota....

fwiw..i bought my 2010 4runner dec 23 2009 and it had the transmission hesitation since new. maybe it was the earliest run of the model. the "fix" or the tsb has made a night and day difference in the drivability. today i put it through the paces, ran up to 8500ft, ran buck rock jeep trail...

i just got the tsb# that was performed on my truck to fix my illin' tranny. tsb# 0166-10 whatever it was extactly i dont know, but man did it make it better. good luck, jas

i thought i'd let anyone that is experiencing the annoying tranny lag at low speeds know, there is a new tsb that came out june 29th (per my dealer anyway) that fixes this problem. we had ours done yesterday and i just drove it back to work today, and its soooo much bettttter, normal! major...

i hear ya. there are a coupple more threads about the tranny lag. i just got off the phone with the dealer i bought mine from and they are going to get it in tomorrow and get a guy from toyota corp to come and check it out. this dealer seems pretty motivated to check it out and get to the...

i have noticed that same thing lately. i had started a thread about excessive tranny lag at slow speeds and that seems to have gotten worse slightly. ( you know its bad when your wife notices it and complains ! ) i have a call into the dealer that i bought it from and they seem more motivated...

same here, i have about 7, 000 miles on mine and it has become more noticeable, if i have the lumbar support engaged more than about a third, it will pop as i push back on it. if i do not use the lumbar support, then it doesnt make that pop. i was going to bring this up this week when i bring...

im well aware of the stout nature of certain toyota transmissions, ive put 400,000 miles on two landcruisers that were indeed equipped with "bus transmissions and tractor engines"!, toyota makes fantastic stuff. this lag i speak of is not similar to anything ive experienced with either of my...

i spoke with a case manager at toyota corp a few days ago ( she was very nice about trying to help with the issue) and she said she would talk to the dealer and we will go from there. mine seems to be worse lately and im gonig to take it back again. she did say that the more complaints they...

thanks for the info, im going to call toyota tomorrow and do the same thing, see if the dealer will get it back for another look, and make it known to toyota that there needs to be a fix. thanks, jas

hi, fairly new to the forum, but i bought a 2010 sr5 4x4 back in dec 09 and have been experiencing a lot of transmission lag at speeds of 5-20 mph where the engine revs up for a second or two before the power goes to the wheels. i know that this has come up on one other post a while back but i...

just got a new sr5 4wd 5th gen, and have to say im really impressed with it. ive been a die hard land cruiser owner(60's, 80 series) over the years and was torn between buying a newer 100 series lc, but decided to go with a new 4 runner, and am very pleased with it. anyway... not being really...
