P0768 on Toyota by Model

Toyota 4Runner(1 issue)

  • High-Mileage Harsh / Jerky Automatic Shifting from Valve-Body Pressure Issues2003-2024

    On higher-mileage 4Runner automatics owners report harsh/abrupt shifts, jerky 3-2 downshifts, unstable RPM blips while coasting near 40 mph, and delayed engagement. The most common mechanical cause is valve-body pressure control wear - a sticking pressure-regulator or throttle valve, or a worn shift solenoid - which raises line pressure and slams the shifts, separate from the torque-converter shudder issue. RepairPal logs hundreds of reports of these trucks not shifting correctly at high mileage. Long-neglected, dark/burnt ATF accelerates it.
