Thought I’d share this….so far this is all we have that Toyota put out to their dealers.

Does that mean this is all primarily debris related, as with the Tundra engines? Genuine question.

Sounds like it. Screw up during manufacturing

So far I haven't had any issues with mine. If I do does it have to be towed in?

I would assume so. It sounds like most people are losing gears 1-5 and it will only rev at that point.

My 4th gens Tacoma transmission also failed, losing gears 1-5, at 1200 miles. I posted a Reddit thread about it here.

Technically, I was able to get mine to go from stop so I could get 2 miles down the road to a hotel for the night. What I did notice was it took a high rev to get it moving forward, once up to 35 mph and up, it ran fine... I'd imagine if I had to climb a hill or was in stop go traffic, it wouldn't have been able to make it without overheating the transmission.
