Yes. How many miles do you have on your car? Have you done any spirited driving with it?

Yes I get that too. I track my car regularly and I noticed the tranny shifts smoother after I change the AT fluid.

Apparently the owners manual says its for 100k and 30k after that which is extremely stupid, someone got a quote to replace the fluid at a Toyota dealer for $265, but your better off replacing it with a non-oem at every 30k with like Redline High Temp ATF, you will never get all the fluid out of course....

Yeah...I hear you. I really wish this car had come with better transmission cooling from the factory. After a couple spirited drives, my trans starting getting rough on the 1 - 2 shift as well. At only 11k on the clock, the viscosity of the fluid per a Blackstone analysis was significantly less than it should be (thus causing the rough shifts). If you want some good reading, check out this thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61498

The only way a person can realistically run the factory trans fluid for 60k per the owner's manual is if they're driving Miss Daisy.

I thought the owners manual said 60k?

Happens to me as well.

I always thought it was normal?

I know it doesn't happen in the higher rpms though

I always assumed I was just bad at manual shifting. The auto shifts perfectly smooth in full auto mode. But in manual mode it can be jerky, especially if it's cold. Once it warms up it's a bit smoother. I'll see if they'll change the trans fluid under my lease agreement, but they won't even give me windshield wipers so we'll see haha

frs10 · 11-13-2014, 12:48 PM

so has anyone changed the fluid and shifts are smooth now?

AT can be jerky when cold
