Automatic Transmission question

[dirtydog3300]

I have a 2016 toyota tacoma that seems to have a shimmy at 1000-2000 rpm when shifting through gears or when taking off. Looking for any kind of input to help with this..

Have you checked the fluid level?

I think that there is a Technical Service Bulletin for this. Might be worth a call to your dealership.

May need a flash from. Dealer and or could be low. I'd do a couple drain and fills and perform the level check. Put something good in there, not WS. Just my opinion.

It's inclosed no dip stick to check level

Went to 2 different toyota dealerships and they both say it's normal no warning lights but to me this does not feel normal

I've had my truck for 4 years when I 1st picked it up it did not act like it does now the shimmy is more like on take off or when you hit 1000 to 2000 rpm like it's searching for the gear before it engages

The Wappingers dealership did a flash and went away for a month then came back worse then before

have visited my Toyota dealer service dept. on two seperate visits inquiring about fluid and filter change on automatic trans. Both times was told its not necessary. I tow a 5800 lb. trailer with my '19 Tacoma. Nervous about not servicing transmission. Thoughts ?

My transmission started to shutter at about 67k on my 2018 Tacoma 3.5 V6, between 30mph and 45mph, it ended up being a bad torque converter, My extended wrnty I bought from my credit union covered it 100%. I've got 94k and it runs great.
