My T100 (auto) sometimes will not shift into overdrive until I have driven it for a few miles. It will then kick in and be fine for a while. It only does this after it has not been driven for a few days or maybe a week.
I had the transmission fluid flushed a while back but it did not help. Any thoughts?

Sounds perfectly normal by design. Overdrive is locked out until the transmission warms up. My new 07 Tundra is the same way.

Front Susp: Stock coilovers, 4" lift (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...6-4-inch-lift/), swapped extra spacers for Bilstein 5100s on lowest setting, wheel well height still 41.5." Rear Susp: ProComp ES3000 #326510 (2.25" taller than stock), 1.25" blocks plus PRG mini-pack (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...and-new-truck/) gives 2.25" total lift, parking brake cable bracket spacers, wheel well height 43." Front diff and rear ds drop; trailer hitch electrical harness tucked up above bumper. After 20K miles swapped 305/65/18 BFG AT for 285/75/18 Toyo AT, still on stock 18x8x60 offset TRD wheels, about 1/8" clearance to sway bar. Like the extra height but miss the width. Next time either 305/70/, 295/70, or 35x12.50/18. Added 5th 285/75/18 Toyo AT as spare. Bed Bounce: Stiffer E-tires are worse than stock P-metric; biggest improvement from PRG mini-pack, slight improvement from shocks. Still a stiff ride but tolerable now. Best things about this truck: 5.7 and transmission, interior size and comfort, very quiet at high speed. Worst things about this truck: bed bounce, no VSC in 4wd, mileage sucks above 70.
I have other vehicles with overdrive and none of them do this. It does not seem to be getting any worse though so you might be right. It runs the RPMs up pretty high when you run 60mph in third gear.

Are the other vehicles late model Toyotas? None of my Hondas do this, but it is well dosumented with the new Tundra.

My '93 pickup and my '03 Tundra both will not shift into overdrive until the trans operating temp is reached, about 134' on the Tundra.

You're driving 60 MPH when the engine is stone cold?
I have a quarter mile or so of dirt driveway that I travel on before I hit the highway so it has a chance to warm up a little.
Maybe I am worrying over nothing. If other toyotas do this then I guess it is fine. It shifts good and gives no other problems so maybe it is just a thing where it needs to warm up first.
Wont shift into overdrive
Linear Mode
