    This website is the passion-project of a USMC veteran/mechanic, @Tyler. I created Tacoma3G.com to share my knowledge of this subject with others and to provide like-minded folks with a comfortable space to ask questions and create 'build threads' within our Tacoma Forums. Now, if the format of this website is confusing to navigate for you, or if you're interested in my full mission and T3G's history, check out the Help and About pages.

    Help! Transmission issues

    Just an update: Took over a month to get the torque converter from Toyota and another week for the dealership to install.

If anyone wants to know how to diagnose with Techstream, I was able to find this: https://www.ttguide.net/mechanical_system_tests-989.html I just didn't have an area safe enough around me to...

    Help! Transmission issues

    Backstory: Had my RMS replaced in my 2017 4x2 Access Cab TRD Sport about 5k mi ago (warranty replacement after a leak was found). Shortly after I started noticing the truck really struggles at the 1-2 shift right around 1100 RPM. This just happens to be around 20mph and the perfect stop and go...
