Jez Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 [OOPS][/OOPS]Sorry if this is a stupid question!! I've only had my car for a week so don't really know what is normal and what isn't. When I change gear I get a very mechanical clunk sound from the Gearbox?? Is this showing a problem or is the gearbox quiet stiff and mechanical anyway. The noise if most noticeable between 1 and 2 but thats probably because I'm going going that fast Cheers for any help Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 It's common, known to be a little agricultural! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 i hear this alot although mine makes no clunks and is smooth to change gear maybe its when they have done a few miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Perfectly normal. I would check that it has the right fluid in it though. You need 2 litres of v 160 only. This does help with the change although it will still be agricultural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffy Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 yeah mine was like it and found gearbox well overfilled, changed oil and it has helped, but still get 1st to 2nd clunk when its cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 mine is a little clunky when cold (espescially 1st and 2nd), nice when warmed up. Probably need to change my oil for fresh stuff sometime. you get used to the agricultural nature, I've grown to love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Thanks all will check the oil, whats the best source for the 2 litres of v160 i'll need Not sure which traders on here do it. Steve Manley is CJ's local Toyota dealer, he can deliver stuff at a discounted price. Not sure how much the del would be. Or your local Toyota dealer. It's not cheap, about £30 a litre! Don't pour in 2 litres, it takes aprrox 1.8 litres. ( 6 speed box) . Fill the gearbox in the usual way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feakins Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Yeah same with mine, new gearbox oil helped a little, I find it clunks less if u change slowly and just rest it on 2nd for a second until it drops in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
