Odds are low you’ll limp along forever. The issue will become clearer as time goes on and there will be a fix. Also toyota kinda has to buy some time - they don’t have tens of thousands of transmissions lying around. So if it’s not broke for now they will not fix it and I can understand why.

Each letter of the VIN means something - I’ll dig up the key from TW. But for the trail hunters we are lumped in with other hybrids so it’s not purely trail hunters.

Worst case scenario is you have a borderline transmission with a small amount of debris. Just enough to make it shift poorly for the life of the vehicle and maybe last half as long, but not enough to throw codes.

Wonder if they flushed it without telling you

What about hybrids? Are you considering a tune for the hybrid and if so would it focus on the gas side of the powertrain? Also, does this tune just focus on HP and Torque versus throttle response? If I were to do a tune I would not want to change anything about the throttle - it’s perfect how...

I enjoy nerding out on this shit. Is it not as good at higher rpm because these are smaller impellers and the flow to them is halved?

That is so cool and makes sense. I’d love to cut one open lol. Only confusing part is - does the exhaust gas that goes over impeller A keep going over impeller B as well or is it taken out of the system before that? Edit - the scrolls dump into the impellers perpendicularly - so my question...

Agreed. People buy horsepower but they drive torque.

Agree. Interesting we have shifted from high revving engine similar to a VTEC opening up over 4K to a very low end grunty powertrain

So the split exhaust channels run to two different impellers attached to the same turbine? All the diagrams seem to show one impeller.

So I’ve been reading a ton about twin scroll and it’s very fascinating. It seems relatively simple in design as all you’re doing is splitting apart the exhaust channels of the four cylinders to get more even flow and avoid exhaust pulse canceling each other out. What I don’t know is if the...

I agree with all that and I also agree with @TacoFreak — the part of the video I thought people needed to think about is that Toyota does take care of its customers. Not perfectly and not always quickly but they do (look at their recent efforts to fix the white paint issue). Also their quality...

I still believe my truck will last a long time and even if the trans fails, toyota will fix it. Watch this video to listen to car care nut talk about recent quality issues at Toyota:

That is so cool - great article

Cool thanks - I would imagine 2 cylinders are each powering a separate turbine in this setup but I’m not sure

Interesting - what is twin scroll? I saw that in my truck data sheet. Is it like a split turbo with two cylinders each supplying a turbine so you’ve got the power at half the RPM? Sort of like a twin turbo?

I think that they believe they will make more money in the long run if they fix this problem on the back end, if and when transmissions fail. Issue is that their reputation is taking a big fucking pop right now. And that will cost them more.

Which OBD2 tool?

Yup. True. Life goes on. Like I said, I got 125K miles warranty.
