Hi. I have a 1993 80 ser. Landcruiser. While travelling very slow
(up to 15kph) I get a clunk in the transmission as though something has wound up and the released. Is this a common occurrence with this model and can it be overcome. It is a AWD model

Check for play in your front drive plates and shafts ...The splines wear and produce a loud noise.

Hi Ray, The constant velocity joints and splines in the front axles often give similar noises. Backlash, a clunking noise heard when backing off the accelerator sometimes, is also a problem sometimes in these AWDs.
You say your problem is in the transmission though from which I presume you are saying gearbox. It therefore might be in the centre diff. This is as helpful as I can be given the info supplied.
Regards, Bruce.

Hi Ray
I have an 80 series, auto, petrol model and I get the same problem when basically 'Free Wheeling' down our street which has a slight downwards slope towards the 'T'
junction at the base of the '
Hill'. Mine has been doing it since new some 15 years ago. Personally I do not see it as a problem! I find that if it becomes annoying a slight increase on the throttle cures it.
Regards
Brian
