POLL: Have *you* experienced transmission problems?

[maxx075]

I think that just the comments are biased, but most people who vote are not having problems or don't know? I think if you don't know you are probably fine. So I think a good majority are not having problems and are even probably undercounted in this poll.

That still doesn't make it easier when your truck is one of the problem transmissions though and Toyota needs to fix those trucks quickly.

Exactly, all these trans posts are big circle jerk echo chambers of the .01% that have issues. Fact is, at this point in time until you get a code and/or a failure or until toyota releases a legit recall there's nothing you can do.

No problems from my transmission and I'm at 11k miles. I had a few rough shifts at the beginning but everything smoothed out once the computer learned my driving style.

It looks like debris is causing the solenoids to fail. If that's the case then it will be a sudden failure without a bunch of symptoms leading up to the failure. Also if it is debris, the failure should happen pretty early on. Seems like all the failures happen within the first couple thousand miles.

I think a lot of people are too concentrated on the TSB that they make themselves believe something is wrong with their truck. It's a body on frame pick up truck. It's going to be a bumpy ride with vibrations and shudders here and there.

So, the transmission itself is manufactured OK, it's debris that happened to get inside is the problem?

It is a manufacturing mistake. The debris is left over from casting the torque converter housing, which was not properly cleaned out before assembly. In this case the culprit was the transmission maker Aisin, but it is the same mistake that Toyota made with the engines in the Tundra which are getting replaced.
