I posted this in the 1st and 2nd gen forum but given that we all use the same auto tranny I figured I'd post this here too.
Yes, I have looked extensively and can't find an answer.
I have been working on this for quite a while. The transmission has no problems whatsoever out of the fact that when I put it into Reverse it jerks really hard and makes a noise. It also does it when going into Drive but it's not as bad. The axles are both brand new Oreilly axles. The mounts are as of a now completely new. I have adjusted the kickdown cable and that doesn't help. As I already said, the transmission has NO other problems. It shifts great, doesn't slip, changes all gears fast and smooth and exhibits nothing else. It would appear there is too much play somewhere where the axles meet the transmission or I would hate it to be the transmission itself, it's like maybe the splines are bad. Looking over the diagrams at toyotapartszone I can't really tell what it could be. Whatever the axles go onto(they attach something using hex bolts), maybe it's that or maybe it's whatever that piece that goes into the transmission could be the culprit. When I put it into drive and let it idle it has a clunking as if there is too much play too, like it's rattling wherever it is that it has too much play. When I put it into neutral the rattling goes away. This engine is in complete perfect shape and almost everything under the hood is either new or completely cleaned out. I have this car in perfect shape.
Anyone have any ideas ?
