My pal picked up a red one from a main dealer last week, 11,000 or so on the clock, he’s having issues with the gearbox.

In his words “takes a shove to get it into 2/3rd”.

Mine is fine, so can’t add a huge amount if insight. Anyone else had similar issues? If so what’s the diagnosis?

He’s had it back in this week, adjusted something, fluid check I think as well, but ok for a morning then back to the same.

Relatively common. Mine had the gear linkage adjusted early in 2021 with few miles but has never been right. In Australia they did quite a few gearbox changes under warranty but Toyota UK have never offered that to people. Another thing could be the lower torque mount as can crack and cause issues relating to changing gear.

Powerflex do an insert for the torque mount with a couple of options,

I’m hopeful but then part of me just wants to stick. Hopefully I can be successful and make the decision on test drive (want the auto).

Last email came out at 1820, I suspect Toyota UK like to fire an email off just before they head home from the office to avoid a flurry of phone calls.

No joy for me either but it didn’t come as a surprise tbh as I never have much luck. If it rained pound coins id be the only one to get battered to death. Hey ho.

If you decline it gets passed on to someone who is unsuccessful by the system.
