Taco Tranny Update

[flansp]

Hello,

A while back I had asked a question regarding a problem with the tranny in my 2005 Taco, V6 6 speed. The issue was that the tranny was coming out of 4th gear and dropping into neutral. I few others responded that they were having the same issue. Well, the truck went into the shop yesterday. It repeated several times and Toyota is going to replace the tranny. So, for all of you out there with this issue, thats your answer. Tranny expected next week.

I also have another question regarding the same truck. I couldn't find another truck on the lot to confirm this, so I was hoping that someone with a similar truck could help me. The issue is this. When in 4X4 I hit the brakes, and I mean hit them and a noise comes form the front end. A loud noise that kinda scares the S%^t out of you. I was told that the truck in 4X4 mode has 4 wheel anti-lock and that the noise was this. Other wise, in non 4X4 mode the truck only has rear anti-lock. Could someone please try this on their truck and let me know if they also heard a loud noise?

TIA,
Paul
