    Manual Transmission

    This is a follow up to a previous complaint regarding difficulty shifting particularly from 1st to 2nd. After sending three certified letters to toyota (the last sent to the president's office) i finally, more than 6 months later, received a written response.

    2005 tacoma, trd sport pkg, 6 speed manual behind a v6. At about 27k the clutch pedal started making this horrendous squeak. The dealer performed a tsb to replace the clutch pedal assembly. Squeak was gone for about 6k miles but the pedal sticks. Since that first replacement of the pedal assembly, the dealer greases it every 6-8k miles because the squeak keeps returning and the pedal still sticks! They did replace…

    Manual Transmission

    When shifting from 1st to 2nd, there is an inconsistent and unpredictable mechanical sensation that varied from a mild yet distinct rough transition (creating the perception that i was forcing the gears) to a dramatic mechanical sensation of gears changing (at times accompanied with a clicking sound).
