what is that sound

I had a gearbox that sounded like a baby's rattle. I had it fixed; all the bearings were shot. I could tell especially when I let the clutch out in neutral at stop.

First Thing check the oil and look for where it will escape from the rear seal. It can leak into the clutch housing too and drip out.

Older toyotas used to leak oil into the transfer case. There is a lot of info on that too. And a fix.

Then how old is the vehicle and what's the life expectancy. The gearbox may go on working with a bit of noise long after the rest of the car is dead.

And dont disccount the noise coming from the diff either.

Then get it looked at.

My old NB pajeor had the famous 5th gear bearing problem.
It sounded like that. Drove all the way from Brisbane to Sydney and back nursing it through before getting it fixed.

Grinding? As in metal against metal? Like a vibration when going around corners and accerlating?

Check your engine mounts are still intact.

Mate from what you have mentioned in other posts!, I would:



Go back to the dealer you purchased it from;


Park it in front of the sales office.


Take the keys and place them on the managers desk


And Quote," Fix the F@@@ thing or replace!!"

That is the sound of money falling into a deep hole you think

Actually I think its the suns reflection off that flash S/S exhaust you put on it thats overheating the bell housing and causing the problem.

LOL
sorry couldnt resist.

Best of luck next time buy a Toyota.
