    Hi There, I'm new to the forum and just getting familiar with my Tundra. Recently I had the transmission fluid dumped and replaced at Toyota dealership. Before that I noticed lazy shifts between 2 and 3rd. Or 3 and 4th? Seems to be shifting fine now, except..
    Now I hear this hissing noise from inside the engine bay, drivers side happens just before shift point. Sounds like someone going pssshhhhhhhtttt then shifts. Best I can describe it. Really noticeable when the window is down, particularly between 1/2 and 2/3. Really don't have a clue where to start diagnosing on this one. ?? Thanks!!

    Start checking for loose or disconnected hoses. Your year has the air injection thingys which may be a cause. Someone with your year Tundra will come along and help.

    Well nothing obvious. But the sound is more like an electronic sound bzzzzzttt almost like a strangled duck. It’s pretty bizarre , I really don’t have any useful knowledge of computer controlled transmission like this. This noise comes on a few seconds before the trans shifts to next gear.

    This mission shall now be called Operation Bbzzzzztttt!

    Not sure if this was coincidence or now, but today I heard an old looking 4Runner (not sure year/gen etc as they’ve never really blown my skirt up) driving down the road at about 40-45 mph and it sounded like a mechanical Bbzzzzzztttt for at least 3 seconds. I was standing there thinking about this thread.
