- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- In today's video I describe a problem that many some Manual Transmission Toyota Tacoma Owner experience with their clutch pedal and assembly. This has been a problem since the 2nd generation Tacoma and has continued to be a problem with the 3rd generation.
Problem occurred at 30,000 miles (drove it for 5,000 miles before bring it into the dealership.
Parts Ordered:
Part Number 31420-60032 - Cylinder Assembly
Part Number 31311-04021 - Pedal and Clutch
Part Number 31434-66010 - Hose and Clutch
Part Number 90389-06055 - Bushing
Parts were on back order has other owners were experiencing the same problem. Parts arrived 3 weeks after service advisor order them. Installation happened over a 3 day period; now the truck drives as it did when I first bought it.
If you're truck is less than 3 years old with less than 36,000 miles; and you are experiencing problems with the clutch pedal. Bring it to your local Toyota Dealership and have them replace the faulty parts.

After the TSB was performed, was your clutch pedal position catch point lower than before? Mine feels more natural with the catch point being closer to the floor but a little worried that it may not have been adjusted to match setting from the factory. For reference, it catches about 1.5-2” lower in the clutch pedal stroke than it did before.
Anyone have any ideas? - I have a 2021 TRD Off-Road. Bought it brand new here in San Antonio. Around 3,000 miles I started noticing a “clunk”/jerking sensation when I’m driving in 5th and Big Time in 6th gear.
When I let off the accelerator, then resume speed (i.e. giving it gas again), I’ll feel the clunk or jerk. I took it to Alamo Toyota where I purchased it. Was told they checked our the drivetrain components, engine mounts, etc. Was told it was “normal”.
I eventually took it to Cavender Toyota. Had the service advisor take a ride with me on the highway. She felt it right away. They had it for hours. Said they even called Toyota engineering and I was told it was a “characteristic of that drivetrain”.
I find it hard to believe that Toyota, a company with brilliant engineers, would design these awesome trucks, but “well, we just can’t figure out how to get rid of that “clunk” or jerking sensation.
I realize manual transmissions are getting rarer by the minute. Has ANYONE else had this issue? This is my 5th vehicle with a manual transmission. I don’t ever recall having a clunk or jerking sensation when I pushed on the accelerator after having my foot on it.
Love this truck, but it’s mentally frustrating feeling that clunk. Appreciate any feedback or input. Thanks again.
Hello @@ddl5856
In all honesty, the number of people who know and understand manual transmissions is becoming rare. Thus the dealership is not willing to service them as they once did. I was taken care of by my local dealership here in Seattle. Toyota is known for their reliability and customer service, it seems like they fell short for you. And I know people that work for the dealership so the dealership was willing to work with me. I suggest contacting the service manager, and seeing if they can buy back the truck from you if it bother you that much. Toyota's are selling well above MSRP right now, it might be best to check out a different car or switch to another manual car.
@@pentzwerks Appreciate the feedback. Yep, going to get in touch with them and mention the TSB you did in this video. Another long-shot I took with emailing Toyota with a special note of “please pass this along to Mike Sweers” (he’s the chief engineer for Toyota trucks). My “hope” is the email gets forwarded to him and he is able to identify the issue right away. We shall see.
I know Toyota’s reliability. My wife’s 2001 which she bought brand new, is a 5-speed manual. 268,000 miles. Just replaced the original alternator this past Friday. When I hear something, I send you a message on this thread. Thanks again!
Hello @@ddl5856
I uploaded this video to help people like yourself. The more awareness we bring to Toyota's attention the more likely it will be fixed in future generations of trucks. Thanks again for commenting.
Awesome seen this video this morning, creaking of the clutch didn’t really bother me just that the release of the clutch wasn’t as smooth as I remembered. So I called the local dealership first thing this morning and mentioned the TSB and the noise my clutch pedal was making. Took it in to have the master tech take a look at it. They agreed on the problem and honored the TSB and my warranty with no hassle. Luckily they had all the new updated parts on hand. 5hrs later picked up my truck and WOW night and day difference. (2017 Tacoma TRD OR 16800 mi.) let’s see how long these new parts last👍🏼
Hello Paradise Tactical.
I'm glad they honored the TSB, it's an easy fix but something that should not be happening. It's common among all manual Toyota Tacoma, best of luck. I hope the parts last for you; they lasted till 25,000 miles for me.
@@pentzwerks they lasted only 25,000 miles? I drive that in less than a yr. Should I get rid of this truck now and call it a loss if I have to change the clutch every 25,000 miles?
Thanks for the video and the relevant part nos. This is a very common problem with Toyota manuals. First had a 74 Landcruiser with a squeaky pedal. Then my 1st gen Tacoma did the same thing. It is a plastic bushing and metal pin which wears out after heavy use.I greased the hell out everything in sight before finding the problem(even replaced the clutch pedal cylinder) It usually takes a long.......long.....long time for this to happen. My Tacoma was 10yrs old when the pedal started with the squeak. Only a few parts to fix the problem, can easily fit everything in the palm of your hand. Cost at the parts counter was less than $10.
Hello W Lew.
Thank you for your input and examples. I was shocked when it started to happen as it's only been 2 years and 35,000 miles. Now that I know the part numbers I'll be able to complete this repair in the future.
@@pentzwerks Remember, only 3 parts wear out; the pin,plastic bushing, and clutch cylinder. Pin,bushing=$10(dealer). After market cylinder --approx $20-$30 Very cheap fix.
Hello w lew
Thank you for letting me know. Now that it’s out of warranty I’ll be doing the work myself
I have a 2020 TRD Sport and it has 15,000 km. I had a squeaky clutch almost since I bought it. After a few months I kinda got used to it thinking “it’s a truck, not a top of the line Lexus”, but when I brought it in to switch to my winter tires I mentioned the clutch. When I picked it up they told me that they cleaned and lubed the pedal assembly and the squeak went away. The tech was not satisfied and continued investigating and found a “service bulletin” (was very specific about it not being a “recall”). He put in the request to have it serviced but the parts were on back order. Got a call a week ago that the next available appointment will be in December - almost 2 months from diagnosis… Hopefully it will fix the problem, but I read with sadness here about the possibility that the problem will return.
Thanks for the info, bought my 2017 tacoma a couple years ago and I noticed the sqeaking clutch. Now I have to use my clutch transfer more often as depressing the clutch all the way most times doesn't allow me to start that way. Bringing it to the shop this week, appreciate the info.
This is a common issue with the 2nd Gens too. Intermittent squeak that most of us cope with until it becomes continuous. I eventually had the TSB done and it was good for a few weeks then the squeak returned. Out of warranty, I now just live with it. It's not the end of the world, just crank the tunes! Worse in the wet/cold weather.
Hello James B.
It did not bother me at first but when it started to become continuous it became really annoying. I'm glad the dealership replaced it, and I waited 5,000 miles till I brought it up to the dealership. We will see how long it takes too fail again.
@@pentzwerks Good Luck!
Hello @@jamesb9780
Thank you, I appreciate it.
It is a plastic bushing which wears out then breaks in half.The bracket which holds a metal pin sometimes spreads causing the pin to flop around(squeak).Might have to do a mod. Parts are cheap if you want to do the fix.Once repaired properly it lasts a long time.
Hello @@wlew3499
Thank you for commenting and explaining the speak problem.
Well unfortunately, Totota never corrected this because I have a 2023 and my clutch started creaking this week. I haven't even had the truck a year. Toyota is going to replace the entire clutch assembly, all of it. My boyfriend's 2019 has been making noises for years. Don't know why his dealership didn't do something about it. Nobody builds vehicles the way they use to. My 04 Xterra only had 1 recall in 20 years, a section of the steering column at the 6 year mark. More vehicles are affected by recalls than are sold every year. 💩
It's funny how some manufacturers can build good manuals and others can't. I had a 2009 civic and its manual transmission was lightyears beyond my 2014 corollas in every single way. I wish Honda would build a real truck. Ridgeline isnt offered in manual and is a minivan with a bed. Come on Honda!
Hello Brian Wiseman.
It depends on the year and manufacture; because the 2016 Tacoma had a lot of problems because it was in it's first year of the 3rd generation production. The Eidgeline is really nice in the way you get a lot more space than the Tacoma or Colorado, perfect for city only driving and light loads. Honda is very reliable; but I need a truck that can tow and be loaded down.
I have the 2014 corolla and experience the creaking clutch problem at even less than 10,000 km. Toyota manuals are indeed very poor quality.
This is happening with my 2006 tacoma Manuel. I just keep replacing the master slave cylinder . And it's a easy change. Lite warranty on the part.
Just had my truck serviced with the tsb-011219.
Installed 31311-04021 pedal, clutch
Installed 31420-60032 master cylinder assembly
Installed 90389-06055 bushing
Installed 31434-60010 hose, clutch reservoir
Installed 00475-1bf03 brake fluid
Installed 08887-02007 body grease wtc1400
Hello Steve Sibayan.
Did the dealership tell you about the TSB or did you experience problems with your clutch pedal?
I mentioned the clutch pedal around 17k miles to my service advisor, he told me to keep an eye on it. So did. Now my truck has 23k miles I knew the advisor wouldn’t believe me so I took a video of it me pressing down on the clutch and then he mentioned about the TSB. Luckily they had the parts they needed for the repairs had the truck in service the whole day. Much ALOHA To you I wouldn’t have found out about the clutch pedal problem to the truck.
Hello @@stevesibayan9493
I had to wait 2 weeks to get the parts in so you were very lucky they had the parts. I'm glad you were able to get it fixed. Thank you for commenting.
What is TSB?
@@juliecalderonsmith1254 it’s what Toyota is known for for there manual trucks/cars. Squeaky/creaky clutch pedals. If you have a manual truck or Tacoma have it taken care of it should be under warranty.
Thanks for sharing the TSB. Can you describe “spongy” more and more details on the problem you experienced?
Good clear explanation. Thanks!
Hello Jim Acheson.
Thank you for commenting; and I'm glad the video explained the issue to you.
That was going on in 1995 when the 1st gen Tacoma came out. You will have to have it done again after several thousand miles. The bushings wear out.
Hello Albert Libricz.
Thank you for letting me know; at least now I'll be able to identify the problem and now I have the part numbers that need to be replaced. Thank you for commenting.
I’m experiencing this now today for the first time on a 2022 mt or… pressing the clutch down has been inconsistent and now today for first time when I release the clutch whether the truck is on or off it makes a creak sound but not all the time… did the problem occur for you when the truck was off too?
The clutch on my 2015 wrx creaked too. From day one it drove me kinda crazy
My 4 cyl has been doing this since I got it.... I’m out of my warranty now tho. I thought I needed a new clutch...
My 3rd gen clutch makes some weird noises when engaging and sometimes I can feels what seems like sticky springs letting go... did you get yours serviced ?
@@Chickenjoe_99 no, its still spongy, squeaks, and doesn't grab very well. I have 123k miles on it now, but there's no slipping or grinding gears so it makes me believe it isn't going bad, and it doesn't seem to get any worse than it is.
seems like some days is worse than others, almost seems like it preforms better in hotter temps to me.
2022 Tacoma, took to dealer for ABS/traction control issue. Clunky grinding trans with a squeaky pedal. They told me all the issues were related to the 265/70R16 Toyo M-55 tires and I was not covered. Thoughts?
This is a common problem with manual Tacoma’s not just 3rd gen and this tsb doesn’t solve anything but just kicks the cab down the road with a replacement. It will squeak again. Go ahead and get a can of grease
Nice video! I've actually noticed this on my clutch. It's a little squeaky. Did they give you a price if it was out of warranty?
Hello Craig.
They did not give me a price without warranty. I would estimate the fix between $500-$1000, depending on how nice your dealership is. I would bring it into them and phrase it as a defective part regardless of warranty. They know about the problem and it's happened to previous generation tacomas.
Per the recall, I finally got my clutch taken care of. I had it at the “stealership,” I bought my truck from, five times for wave sensor issues and the clutch problem popped up halfway through that.
They did not fix the clutch issue. They only applied a bandaid. So I took my truck to a different dealer, two months ago, and they took care of it.
By the way, what year is your Taco? Did you have any other issues with it?
Oops, just rewatched and heard this was the first issue with your truck.
Hello Paul Casserly.
The only other problems I've had with my truck were faulty sensors (blind spot sensors), they constantly need to be reset by the dealership because my truck gets dirty from daily use. I'm glad another dealership was able to fix the problems with your truck. I was nervous about buying a 3rd generation tacoma, and that's why I waited a year and bought a 2017. My truck is a 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad with a 6-Speed Manual transmissions, it's also fully loaded with every option.
I'm going to continue to drive the truck until around 60k miles, that's usually when I sell my vehicles. Might upgrade to the new body style of the 4th generation tacoma when its released.
Hello @@paulcasserly8918
This was the first significant issue I've had with the truck other than a blind spot sensor. Other than that it's been reliable.
Anyone have any ideas? - I have a 2021 TRD Off-Road. Bought it brand new here in San Antonio. Around 3,000 miles I started noticing a “clunk”/jerking sensation when I’m driving in 5th and Big Time in 6th gear.

2019 Tacoma Trd manual owner.. I have experienced hearing the squeaky springy sounding clutch and now it’s not turning over intermittently. Thank goodness I can roll start. Did you have this issue as well?
Hello Angela Velasquez.
I've never had an issue starting the truck. I would suggest looking at your starter motor or taking it into the dealership. I hope the dealership can fix your truck; let me know if you have any other questions.
The Pentz Project thanks! I have an appointment but have a feeling it will be a headache since it’s not consistent. They claim it may be some sort of clutch switch. When I press the clutch it’s not engaging. I’m not sure, but I hope they figure it out as well.
@@Angela-gp9wz Hi, did you figure out what it was?
@Chef Nutter ya I’m just dumb lol. My floor mats where apparently too thick and and when they would slide up too far my clutch wasn’t really getting pressed down far enough. Fixed my floor mat and it hasn’t happened since. I did get my clutch replaced though thanks to this video.
Do you have a rattling noise when coasting in neutral in your 6mt?
Hello Regular Joe
The manual transmission is very noisy. Every time I go over a speed bump truck will make noises, regardless of being in neutral or not. It’s normal and it’s mentioned a lot by manual drivers.
@@pentzwerks k thanks.
Joe My truck(Offroad MT) has NEVER rattled from day one(in neutral?).Have heard some trucks in Canada rattle in the MT area(bell housing, throw out bearing..?)My truck "clunks" when starting in gear.Had a 1st Gen Taco, no noises.Lots of problems w/3nd Gen.Now a RECALL with the fuel pump which will quit without warning leaving you stranded in the woods or interstate.CRAP!!
Whenever i released the clutch pedal on my 2019 4×4 sport it shudders, also i of to released the clutch completely before it engaged.
It also jerks a lot whenevet i changed between gears, if i am going up an incline there is a bad smell like rotten eggs
Coming from the truck.
What could be the cause of all these issues?
Hey I just hit 30k in mine an the clutch pedal creeks a bit n guess this video hits spot on but have u tried to adjust it first ?
Hello Brandon G.
I did not adjust it as my truck was under warranty. I insisted that Toyota fix the problem as my truck has been somewhat of a Lemon truck. It had several problems. I heard you can lubricate the clutch pedal from behind to get rid of the creaking.
So it's a recall right? So you could go to any dealership and get it fixed for free correct?
Hello Nathan Moore.
Yes, this is a recall if your truck is experiencing it. If you are within your warranty take it to your nearest Toyota dealership. It is also a common problem with manual transmissions but my failed prematurely.
i could have an issue with my clutch.. i have to push it all the way to just start my truck, I mean all the way until the paddle reaches the end. I had a manual transmission before but not with a tacoma and i don't have to push it all the way to just start!
Hello Mohammed A.
I would suggest bring it into your Toyota dealership because I do not have that problems. I only compress it a little bit and it takes. The tacoma has a really long clutch pedal distance.
I think I have something similar going on right now. I have a 2019 trd off road. It seems like my first gear is super clunky and the clutch pedal seems to be rattling. I’m gonna take it in this week to see if they can check that shit but idk maybe its just me being paranoid.
Hello Nolan Aguiar.
The best bet is to bring it into the dealership and have a Toyota tech figure it out. Worse case, you bought it a perfectly working truck and had it checked out over warranty. Or your truck is having a problem and they replace it under warranty. Both a win win.
I have the same issue on 2019 trd off road, I have an extended Warranty, will take it to the dealer to see if they can fix it. also I feel the clutch vibrate a bit while slightly engaged, did you feel that too?
Did they fix yours under warranty? And how much did it cost? They do not want to do mine under warranty and want to charge me $6752.80… I am a woman though and I think I’m being taken for a ride.
@@janaolson1159 you know i stopped noticing it, it might have been all in my head, the car was brand new to me.
My dealership lied to me until I got over 36k now I’m stuck with shit to fix
Hello Liam Czarnecki.
Unfortunately some dealership are not willing to fix the mistakes. The best thing to do is approach the Service Manager and complain until they fix it. Toyota is usually really good with customer service, so it's worth a try.
I brought my 16 in with this very issue back in 2017-18ish. Creaking, sticky pedal. They test drive it and service tech said “it seemed fine”. Still persisted. Now I’m just seeing this video for first time. It’s 2020 now...and I have 47k miles. Is this a recall? Or am I on the hook for it? What if I have it documented at the dealer that I came in with this very issue while under warranty? Also I installed a short shifter...would that void any warranty anyways?
Hello Ryan.
Take your Tacoma into your local Toyota Dealership and refer to TSB 011219. If the tech states that it's still fine, then take it to another Toyota dealership or talk directly with the service manager. Toyota is aware of this common problem with the manual transmission, be persistent and they should take care of it. If you are local to Washington then I can contact my local dealership and they will help you out. The short shifter should not matter; if they give you a hard time over it then remove it while the truck is in the shop and reinstall it when you get the truck back. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Parts Numbers if your dealership gives you trouble.
Part Number 31420-60032 - Cylinder Assembly
Part Number 31311-04021 - Pedal and Clutch
Part Number 31434-66010 - Hose and Clutch
Part Number 90389-06055 - Bushing
So what year is your tacoma
Was it clunking too? My manual 2020 Tacoma feels like crap, feels like it's clunking quite a bit and actually got stuck and wouldn't shift in a second twice...
Hello Jeff Flack.
I heard "clunks" whenever I went over a speed bump with it in gear or out of gear. The manual transmission became very sloppy; and not as crispy as it was when I bought the truck. It might be the fact that it needed to be broken in. Make sure your clutch pedal is fully compresses and many try to pump the clutch if it has a hard time shifting into another gear. If it's a 2020; then it's definitely under warranty. Take it to the dealership and have them fix it; or say it's a lemon truck. Although Toyota is known for their reliability; I find that with all the new electronics that are mandatory in a car now.. they might become very unreliable. Those are just my thoughts. Best of luck.
@@pentzwerks Thank you so much! Mine is a 2020 and seems extremely clunky most of the time and is actually gotten stuck a couple times not being able to shift into second gear...
Hello @@flacktastic21
The only way to determine whether your truck is a lemon is to drive another manual transmission (2020) or have a Toyota tech drive yours. The tacoma clutches and manual transmission are sloppy (not a race transmission; it's a tacoma) so it's not a tight shifting as I wanted it to be but it is very reliable. Again, take it to the dealership and see what they think. Your warranty is 3 years, 36,000 miles so schedule an appointment.
2018 trd offroad manual trans, it has problems pulling a boat and trailer(1890 lbs) out of the water, it dies everytime. I can over rev and drop the clutch the computer takes over and it just goes dead, have to pull the boat out in 4 LO with no clutch start button, I hate that this truck wont do what i need it to do. maybe this is what is wrong
Hello The Clear T.O.
I've pulled a sullair 185 air compressor and the truck really struggled. These trucks were not to designed to tow but more designed to last a long time. I had a 2013 Toyota Tacoma and it was more reliable and my 2017 is nothing but trouble.
17 Taco Off-road 6spd @ 44k miles. I just started noticing squeaking noise when I press down clutch pedal… is this the beginning of the issue you talked about?
Hello Y K
Yes, that's how it started for me. It will progressively get worse as you drive. The clutch still functions but it's annoy when you feel and hear the squeaking. Since your truck is out of warranty, I suggest taking it to the dealership or a local shop. If take it to the dealership, ask them what their opinion is and that it's a common problem.
@@pentzwerks
Thanks for sharing info and kind reply… I will look into how I can avoid it get worse..😖
@@pentzwerks it’s like the sound it’s making could use wd40… lol is that whT your experiencing?
White lithium grease fixes this problem, I have a 2019 just a little spray and keep it lubed.
Hello James Wuertele.
Thank you for your suggestion; I'll get some lithium grease and add that to my clutch pedal.
Hi I have a 2017 Tacoma off-road manual when I go to put it into 3rd gear it lags like it’s having hard time speeding up does this have to do with this?
Hello Rena B.
If you have a hard time speeding up in 3rd gear, leave it in second gear until you can rev match it in 3rd gear. I think you are changing gears to quickly without rev matching.
Where can I get a copy of this TSB? For me its like driving a different truck (2017) every day. Got her used but its still under the Factory for 3 more months.
Hello RoamWithB.
TSB 011219; you'll need to get the report from the service department of your local Toyota dealership. The dealership will only warranty it if you are experience a problem; do not expect them to do it before you experience it. I would call the service department and demand that it's done before the warranty is gone.
Did it fix the rattle sound you get when you drive slowly over bumps or rough terrain?
Hello Kiko Rubio.
The truck continues to make a rattle sound due to the exhaust (how its mounted) and the leaf packs. It's normal to hear some rattle; but now that I've installed the exhaust it helps to mask that noise.
@@pentzwerks but the automatic don't have it and it's only with the clutch in or in neutral. It had to be something with the clutch/transmission in my opinion. Thanks for the reply
I also have 2019 Manual TRD OffRoad with the squeaky clutch and a rattle in neutral over bumps. It’s at the dealership for the 3rd time today. I’m hoping they can fix that issue. In addition a loud whining and humming noise between 50-60mph mainly on deceleration which apparently there is a tsb for but my model doesn’t fit within the serial numbers with this issue. There are other issues. I am completely disgusted with this truck I paid almost 40k cash for. Now 10k on the truck.
Hello @@tonystefanetti2476.
In the next few months I've entertained the idea of selling my Tacoma to move to a 4runner. The 4runner is still produced in Japan and is the most reliable SUV in the market. The tacoma is assembled in Texas and with all the electronics that have been put into the Tacoma, I doubt that no more problems will occur. My truck now sits at 36,104 miles so I'm officially done with the bumper-to-bumper warranty.
Is it the clutch master or the actual pedal assembly?

@@pentzwerks after watching I went down the rabbit hole and read up on this issue AND the weird throw out bearing wear issue
Could you explain what the issue is? Is it just that it makes noise? I've hated the clutch on my 2018 since shortly after buying it. I've always wondered if there is something wrong with it or it just happens to be different than my previous manuals.
Hello Kappa619.
The issue is that the clutch pedal assembly is failing because it starts to creak and feel spongy/inconsistent after 30,000 miles. The dealership replaced the assembly under warranty but if it happens again I'll have to pay for it. According to other owners of manual transmissions this is a very common problem.
Hello @tessoroD
I am no longer happy with my MT tacoma as well as it's starting to rattle when going over bumps.
@@pentzwerks thank you. Is it any better after being replaced?
Hello @@kappa619
Yes it's better after the replacement was done; no noises and it feels new again.
@@pentzwerks does it still rattle?
Does this also happen in corolla MT? I have a creaking noise when I release the clutch pedal.
Hello Citizen 052.
Toyota is known for using the same parts for different vehicles. It's highly possible, please visit your local Toyota Dealership if your corolla is within warranty. This is a common problem among manual transmissions, the video was created to illustrate that prematurely wore out. Toyota is known for it's reliability, but the clutch assembly shows otherwise.
@@pentzwerks Unfortunately, my 2015 corolla is out of warranty and the more I read, the more I am convinced it is the same issue. But the worse part is, maybe I am wrong, but I don't quite trust the competence of the Toyota dealership in my country. Also, thank you for your video, it helped me to finally identify this issue which has been frustrating me for so long.
What TSB ???
TSB = Technical Service Bullet. If the vehicle is under warranty, they are required to repair, replace and fix the issue. Some TSB's go beyond the standard but most don't. It's similar to a recall.
Spoiler alert! It'll start doing it again around the 60k mile mark. Had mine done at my 30k mile service and by 62k it was doing same thing again.
Hello Bmile04.
Did the dealership replace it the first time? I'm guessing your not under warranty unless you bought a warranty package from the dealership right? Thank you for commenting.
@@pentzwerks I have a 17 and have owned it since it had 3 miles on it. Toyota dealership did it the first time. This time it'll be on me. I'm not at 62 now and it's been squeaking and popping for about 6 mths now. If it was my daily driver I would have probably replaced it by now.
I had this problem over the summer with my 2019. Is it a noticeable difference after replacement?
Hello Spartan.
It's noticeably different, it's like night and day as far as when the problem was fixed. Now it feels normal but I'm prepared for it to fail again. Have you had any other problems with your 2019 Tacoma?
@@pentzwerks The grill sensor has been a pain. I'm not impressed with the mousepad they put on it to "fix it."
Hello @@spartan8390
Do you have a Pro Grill installed or a stock grill? It's strange that you've had so many problems with the front sensor but it's tied into the main engine harness so it can not be disabled.
@@pentzwerks I have a stock 2017 grill that I traded for my 2019. I switched the sensor over to make sure there was a warranty issue. 19 or 17 grill, same issue for both.
do you have the same suspension as the TRD Pro model
Hello Justin Whittaker.
I currently have a stock suspension of a TRD Offroad with a 2" spacer above the front coil over and a add-a-leaf in the rear. I use to have a Fox 2.5 DSC suspension but decided to take it off.
Here's my suspension, wheels and tires video:

My throw out bearing started chirping at about 85000 and it's a 2014.
Hello Justin Stephenson.
I think the 2nd generation Tacomas are build better than the 3rd generations. I had zero problems with my 2013 Tacoma; and the 2017 I have no has a lot of problems. It's been serviced by the dealership 10 times and it only has 40,000 on it.
@@pentzwerks ya I agree. I own a 2014 TRD Sport 6 speed manual. The sleeve for the throw out bearing is made from aluminum.
@@pentzwerks I have a 2012 TRD sport manual and haven't had any issues so far its smooth as butter and it has 95,xxx miles so far
Hello @@uno3863
I believe that the 2nd generation tacomas were built better than the 3rd generation tacomas. I'm glad your bearing has remained in good condition; bearing fail from a variety of situations.
Ever since Toyota moved to built the trucks in Kentucky they screwed up the quality and style. Toyota is just like any other vehicle loaded with recalls, you can say they are junk. My 1999 Tacoma was great but now they are confused is it full size, mid size truck? Which is it. Toyota really need to pay attention to the style. Toyota got little big headed and now they are fucking up.
Hello Fred Taj
I completely agree with the quality of Toyota Tacoma since they’ve decided to manufacture the truck in the USA. I will not buy a Tacoma again, I’m leaning more towards a 4Runner as they are still products in Japan and hold their value even more than the Tacoma’s. Thank you for commenting. I’ve had a lot of problems with my truck since purchasing it; it’s been serviced 13 times in the last 40,000 miles.
TSB = Tacoma's Shifting Bad
Hello GaFFLe.
Between the automatics searching for gears within the transmission and the manual transmission having problems; I'm doubting the reliability of Toyota.
Ever since Toyota decided to bring the truck to Kentucky and have it built in Kentucky all Toyota quality has gone down the shit hole. The style, the size, the ruggedness and quality is not there. Toyota now is like buying any crappy car or truck in the market. Plain english Toyota sucks.
Hello Fred Taj.
Toyota has moved some of their manufacturing facilities to the USA (Texas and Kentucky). Unfortunately I do agree with you that Toyota has become less reliable. There were a few problems with my truck and they were warrantied; but now that the truck is out of warranty i'm nervous to see what problems become of it. Thank you for commenting.
The turd gen is literally full of problems
Hello Bigoneish.
The third generation Tacoma are now produced in the United States. I hate to says this but the quality of Toyota was better when it was manufactured in Japan. I have a 2nd generation Tacoma (2013) and it has zero problems. It had the reliable 4.0L in it that the current generation 4runner has in it.
@@pentzwerks Ok...so what??
Hello @@bigoneish
So that means that the 3rd generation Tacomas will continue to have problems until they are fully tested out by Toyota. The 4.0L engine is very reliable. The 3.5L hunts for gears, isn't powerful and it's only been around since 2016.
@@pentzwerks The 4.0 had head gasket issues though and it's outdated af. The 3rd gen 3.5 is better in a manual than automatic. Toyota needs to put something out more modern especially for what these trucks are selling for.
@@pentzwerks P.s the 3.5 puts out better hp and just about the same in torque but doesn't take off as well. Plus the 3.5 gets better mpgs all around.
