Our transmission work I sublet to a friend. The last he said is, don't buy a CVT transmission equipped vehicle. The trans are all from Nissin (not Nissan) who holds the patent. The reason they replace and charge a high core charge is they don't want them out in public. Nissin just scraps them. He took one apart. Said the drive belt looks like a snowmobile belt wrapped up with packing staples crimped around it. Sleeving it with metal. Wears out the belt and sheaves.
Also added if you do buy one get rid of it by 60K miles. Shortly after is usually when they go.
That's my trans guys dos centavos.
Congrats on the Taco. Good trucks which Toyota stands behind well. We have 3 Toyotas in the family. My beater Yaris has 195K and still looks and runs well.
