Hi all, looking for advice on how to proceed. First a little backstory:
Bought 2006 truck, drove maybe 100 miles before having fluids changed including a transmission service. After changing out my MAF (battery disconnected for enough time to reset everything), I let it idle for ~10 mins but when I went to drive it, the car was super sluggish, as if I was taking off in 5th gear. I turned the car off and back on, and it hasn't behaved like that since. What I have been noticing is intermittent slipping of the transmission when trying to accelerate from a stop. Also intermittent, there has been surging as I come to a stop like the transmission forgets to shift at some point and then does a quick double downshift. I checked my codes and I had a P2714.
So I posted on another thread related to this code and my symptoms were said to probably be related to a low transmission fluid level. I took the truck back to the mechanic who did the transmission service and they are reporting that the fluid level is good, they could not recreate the problem, and the code indicates to replace the solenoid with a $700 quote all in.
I've done a lot of reading on the matter, and most people are saying there may be debris interfering with the solenoid and that simply doing a fluid exchange could fix the problem. If I hadn't just done the transmission service, which may have been the cause of the problem, this is probably the course of action I would take. On another forum, user Jefe says he's done the solenoid replacement with success numerous times Post #9 (Toyota-4Runner.org).
I'm just conflicted on how to proceed and looking to the forum for some advice. This doesn't seem like a very common problem as I can only find a few threads that mention this code.
