Clutch or Transmission

If a clutch is starting to slip, you will notice it in the higher gears
first. There isn't as much torque against the clutch (usually) in the lower
gears.

I'd definably second the changing of fluids... it does wonders for an
old tranny in my experience. just make sure that you get the correct
fluid for your tranny otherwise it isn't realy going to help also you
could find that your sycro's are going but i dunno if thats as much of
a problem on the newer toyota trucks or not

While trying to get the transmission fluid checked this weekend the
mechanic stripped the fill plug head.

Guess I have to live with the problem till I get rid of the truck or
something goes out completely?

even if it is the threads just yank your tranny and throw it on the
workbench... take a drill to it and install a heli coil or retap it by
hand... (a heli coil will be stronger then original as long as you do
it right) you could also try various thread repair compounds and
such... although i've had good luck with heli coils
