Replying to: steve_sf (Apr 25, 2008 3:58 pm) The current model 4Runner transmissions have been bulletproof so far, whether it be on V6 or V8 models. Replies to this message: steve_sf (May 31, 2008 1:33 pm)

Replying to: jgeckler (Jan 10, 2007 3:36 am) What did you end up doing? I have a 2003 Limited V8 4Runner that is exhibiting the exact same problem. I feel a vibration at 42mph when the transmission shifts between 4th and 5th. Did you get yours fixed? Did they pinpoint the problem? Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

I own a 1998 toyota four runner, 2wd. When I shift gear to drive I get a loud clanking noise coming from either the transmission or the drive shaft, can't really tell. Can someone possibly tell me what or why that noise is being made, only when I shift gear to drive?
#75 of 144 20004-runner. Loud tranny by aviatork Jul 24, 2008 (8:39 pm)
A few months ago my transmission cooler went out and filled the tranny up with radiator fluid and the radiator with tranny fluid. I had a shop flush the transmission out and they had to do it three times to get all the radiator fluid out. Since then my transmission makes a whining noise when driving. If I put it in neutral it stops. It is also shifting harder than it used but not really bad. I have been reading about drain plugs and filter screens possibly being the problem. I was hoping someone could possibly give me some suggestions before I take it to the dealer and spend possibly tons of cash.

#77 of 144 THUMP IN DRIVELINE AT STOP AND START by glb5 Aug 07, 2008 (8:04 am)
YES THERE IS A TRUE FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. AFTER 4 YEARS OF TRYING EVERYTHING KNOWN TO MAN I TALKED TO A SERVICE MANAGER FROM A TOYOTA DEALER WHO PREVIOUSLY HAD WORKED AT A GM DEALERSHIP. HE SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE LAST GENERATION TAHOES.              THE FIX                             REMOVE THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT AT THE REAREND. THERE ARE 4 BOLTS AT THE FLANGE. THROUGHLY CLEAN SPLINES BOTH MALE AND FEMALE WITH A HEAVY DUTY CLEANER, I USED BRAKE CLEAN. ONCE ALL THE OLD GREASE IS REMOVED APPLY GM PART NUMBER 12345718 GREASE ( IT COST ABOUT $50.00 FOR A 16 OUNCE CAN AND IT IS ABOUT THE CONSISTANCY OF WHITE LUBERAPLATE, VARY THIN). REASSEMBLE THE DRIVESHAFT. DO THE SAME FOR THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT. I DID THIS 15000 MILES AGO AND THE THUMP HAS NOT RETURNED.
#78 of 144 2008 4x2 v8 trans problem by jettaface Aug 28, 2008 (6:12 am)
Hi, only 1400 miles on new 4 runner, V8, 2 wheel drive. When I back up and shift, automatic, to drive, at times it takes about 3 long seconds for the trans to engage forward. If I didn't wait or notice and step on the gas, car would really bang into drive. I am hoping this is a switch adjustment or something. Will take to dealer but wondering if anyone has had this problem. Thanks much, Jean Replies to this message: scottcrafton (Sep 23, 2008 9:43 am) jettaface (Sep 24, 2008 6:44 am) scottcrafton (Sep 24, 2008 9:40 am) and 2 more...
