My good friend has a 3 yr old Toyota 100 series Diesel auto, which has quite an uncomfortable "clunk" when it changes down at low speeds, say 20km/h. (The car has only 60,000 klms on the odo.) Typically when one slows for a tight corner, then accelerates it drops a gear and the change is anything but smooth.
It is quite unpleasant, but the dealer is telling him it's normal for that gearbox and not a problem (probably trying to avoid spending money on warranty, which expires in 90 days).
Does anybody have a similar model and if so does it have a similar clunk? Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
