Dec 30, 2006 Lately i have noticed that every once in a while i will have a VERY hard time trying to shift into gear. Stopped at a traffic light, i have to force the gear shift into gear.either first or second, both are hard. Pumping the clutch doesnt seem to make it any easier, nor does revving the engine.
Dec 02, 2010 Using synthethic or GL-5 gear oil can compound transmission shifting issues. These oils are slicker and don't allow the syncros to work as well as they can. Toyota calls for 75w90 and if you use 80w90 or heavier oil that will also cause hard shifting issues most noticeable when cold. Sir,i have 1996 toyota tacoma 5 speed transmission truck.the problem is my 1,3,5,gears are not go in when i push the clutch in but my 2,4,and reverse gear are working good so i dont understand what could be the fault,clutch or transmission so please figourout and let me know. Dec 11, 2017 A vehicle with manual transmission means the driver needs to manually change the gear by shifting the transmission. The vehicle with this system, no doubt, is economical in terms of fuel and maintenance, but still manual transmission hard to shift issue can occur sometimes in the car. Oct 08, 2010 I have a 2003 Tacoma, 4cyl, 5spd 4x4, 80k miles. Occassionally it's difficult to get into 1st gear. 5th gear feels a little sticky as well. I have bled the clutch and replaced the transmission gear oil with GL5 75-90w.

This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Toyota dealer.
Windows phone honda download contacts. CarComplaints.com Notes: Beware of the NHTSA complaint data for the 2004 Camry. It is almost certainly misleading.
The problem with NHTSA data for the 2004 Camry is that for months on end, the news media repeatedly told the public that several Toyota models had an unintended acceleration defect, & to go to safercar.gov (the NHTSA's website) to file a complaint.
Haynes manual 2005 chevrolet equinox torrent download. So, the NHTSA received a disproportionate number of complaints about unintended acceleration issues because of the national news media attention, to the point where their data is unreliable taken in context with any other vehicle that did not receive national news attention.
CarComplaints.com typically receives more complaints per day about vehicles than the NHTSA does, but the news media did not repeatedly say 'go to CarComplaints.com to report your Camry acceleration problems' like they did about the NHTSA -- so although we have less complaint data than the NHTSA for the 2004 Camry, our data for the Camry is a far more statistically accurate representation of the Camry's reliability than what the NHTSA data shows.

2004 Toyota Camry Owner Comments
problem #4Camry XLE V6
- Automatic transmission
- 35,000 miles
Due to the fact (according to the dealer) that the throttle is computer controlled (should update the software by now), the vehicle shifts hard, usually a downshift, at slower speeds. Definitely annoying but difficult to get across to the service folks that there is something wrong.

Transmission shifts hard at slow speeds - when accelerating car jerks, this is dangerous when pulling ahead in traffic (getting worse). Each time I have it serviced, am told 'that's just the way it is, every Camry has that problem and there's nothing they can do about it'. Can't believe there's nothing dealer can do about it!

problem #2Camry LX

This has been an on going issue from early on. I now have nearly 50,000 miles on this car and just pray if something goes really wrong it is before the extended warranty is up.

problem #1Camry LE V6
- 50 miles
From the get-go transmission shifted hard at slow speeds and when accelerating hard to ramp up on the freeway. Toyota told me it was because the accelerator was no longer a throttle cable but was digital and that is just the way it is. Now have 15,000 mi. Seems to be getting worse. Anyone else have the problem?
