I'm on my 2nd 6spd now, and now not less than a week ago, this transmission has also jammed up. The Toyota RA60 is complete, and utter garbage. The RA60, or Aisin AY6 can also be seen in the Cadillac CTS and the 2011 Camaro V6. With the endless disappointment I've experienced with Toyota and this transmission, I'm really eager to see how this thing works out for the other companies. It'll be interesting, I'm sure.
In 100k miles, I've towed maybe 3 times, and have always been mindful of the weight I was pulling. I've also never beat on it, and spared no expenses when it comes to using the best manual trans oils. After the first rebuild I couldn't tell you how much I babied this thing, and after 5k miles, I'm back at square one. Unbelievable.
All the hype of reliability and durability surrounding Toyota is nothing more than that. Hype, and nothing more.Toyota's good days are gone. Long gone. Now it's all about being cost effective, cutting corners, and ultimately sacrificing their integrity.
