Transmission slipping issue???



Ive heard that this is common but I want to see if anyone else has experianced this before. I have an 09' TRD Sport curerently at 21000 miles. Ive had this problem since day 1 off the lot and is has not gotten any better or any worse, but just doesnt seem right. When I have driving and approaching a red light, I slow down... Then suddenly the light turns green before I make a complete stop... When i apply the gas again, my truck revs up to about 4-5k rpms before it "finds" a gear. I took it to the dealer and they told me that because our throttle is electronically controlled and does not have any actually cable linkage, that this is normal in all tacomas. It also happens after speed bumps an when I accelerate out of a right hand turn. It happens about 8/10 times when i get down to about 5-20mph, and then accelerate again. Any ideas. have you experianced this "slip" or "stuck in nuetral" feel with your transmission? Thanks in advance everyone!!

Has the dealer done the transmission TSB flash on your ECU yet? That should help with some of the gear "searching".

I Didn't know there was one. When did this release because my truck is fairly new. Do I just take it in and ask them to flash it then? Sorry I've never realized that there are tsb's that require attention that were not notified about.
