2015 Tacoma Transmission
« on: July 14, 2019, 12:38:10 AM »
I just got a 2015 Tacoma with 28K on it. Auto transmission. It had a vibration or pulsing starting at 30 mph at 1100 rpm which continued up to 50 mph or so. I took it into Toyota where it was originally purchased. After test drives with tech they eventually checked tranny fluid and it was a quart low. No dipstick in these vehicles. It now is driving much smoother. Assuming the low transmission fluid was the problem, it is likely that it suffered damage being a quart low?  Anyone have any thoughts on this?  My conclusion is that I’ll never really know if extra wear happened but low fluid couldn’t be a good thing.

Do you mean the 3rd gen, 2016 Taco with the sealed transmission? It's well known that many came from the factory low on transmission fluid.

This is a 2015. I don’t know if it is sealed. It apparently is a pain to check. I have read on a lot of forums that even 2015s had this problem.
