I got the cruiser back today after 33 days at the dealership - only 23 business days, so 7 business days short of lemon law. Everything seems to be working normally, as expected. Nice to have it back, I was getting tired of the Tacoma's length and squeezed in cab!
They said there has not been a TSB yet on this issue, so the transmission they put in is brand new, but identical. That's what I expected, but it would have been nice to be reassured that "the new one won't do that!"
They were still unable to make any guess as to a possible reason for why the failure happened. So it's unsettling to not know if the Land Cruiser blew up the transmission or if the transmission blew itself up.
I'll report back when it fails next time.
For now, I'm noticing the clunky downshifts when stopping at intersections, just like when the cruiser was new - which seems to anecdotally agree with the suggestion that those get better with time.
TLDR: new transmission installed, MPG unchanged..
