    2011 Toyota Tundra - 4.0L
    Greetings!

    I am a new truck owner. Just purchased a 2011 Toyota Tundra 4.0L V6. Purchased through online dealer. When I got the vehicle I noticed it was revving higher at times between 2nd and 3rd gears and it would lose power for about 5 seconds. After you drive for about 5 to 10 minutes problem goes away and works perfectly through the gears. After a couple of weeks I noticed it would get stuck and not go past 3rd gear unless I pulled over and turn truck off and restart and then it would drive fine. I don't drive the truck much since I work from home. Took the truck out yesterday for a test drive, it was in mid-70's and had no issues at all. Took it out this morning and it was in mid-50's, no issues. The times when I had problems I believe the temps where probably in the 30 to low 50's. Took to several transmission places. One couldn't replicate the issues. One ran a diagnostic and said it returned codes: P0756, P0776 and P0781. One repair place wanted to sell me a new transmission. One a drain, fill and flush for $650. I am really thinking it has something to do with the outside temperature. At this point, unless the problem becomes repetitive where the local reputable auto repair shop can witness it, I am inclined not to do anything. However, I would welcome any input from the community. Thanks!

    I responded to your other thread, but in case you see this one, check your transmission fluid level.
