Hi folks,
I just bought a new 07 4x4 with V6 and 6 speed manual. I love it, but have been a bit disappointed by the 6 speed tranny. Specifically, I find that shifting from 1st to 2nd is "crunchy." It's like the 2nd gear syncro doesn't work well. I've been driving stick all my life, but always on little cars like Accords and Integras, so maybe I'm just not used to how a truck transmission feels.
Has anyone else noticed or complained about the Tacoma's 6 speed being difficult to shift into second? I've seen posts about difficulty downshifting into first, and general derogatory remarks about the tranny, but nothing specific. Is there something wrong with my truck, or do I just need to get used to shifting MUCH slower and gentler than my old Integra.
Thanks,
