I'm wondering if this might be more of a control problem than the transmission itself? Maybe a computer module is bad or something? Seems strange that your 2nd tranny is doing the same thing as the 1st one.
I hope things work out for you.  |
The 1st transmission was a bad one and they did a great and fast job putting the 2nd trans in ... no questions there.

UPDATE ... Just got off the phone with the service manager (very professional and nice guy) and I explained my problems and concerns.
He explained that the 2007 is a a "Pure Drive By Wire" and I may have a small glitch in a chip or something now related to the "controls".
He was super and told me to either bring it in or keep driving it and see what happens.
He did explain that the new "Drive By Wire" systems are different in reponse and they do act differently.
He could not explain why it hung up in 5th on the interstate (perhaps a computer glitch) ???
Oh ... I asked him how long the data stays in the on board computer. He explained that the "computer codes" stay there until the computer is reset.
I still feel a bit queeezy ... but maybe this will sort itself out ????

PS ... Hey one good thing about my 1st transmission problem/replacement ... I was "Googling 2007 Tundra Transmissions Problems" ... and I found this place ...lol....
I am sure that I can get it fixed ... it is just the hassle. I do NOT want to "Lemon Law" this vehicle. too many mods on it now.
I still love this truck and I might push TMCA for an extended warranty ?????
