hi.. first post on this forum. I recently purchased an 06 4runner ltd with the v8. It has 43000 km on it. Before I take it in to the dealer I was going to try and get some opinions first.

I'll do my best to describe this. It's been happening on and off. As I come to a stop, pretty much as soon as the vehicle stops, there is a slight thump as if there is a gear change. The same happens when I start moving again, a little thump as it jumps into gear. Doesn't happen all the time. I find I can get it to happen if I come to a fairly sudden stop, I get a slight gear thump just as the truck stops. It almost feels like a u-joint with slack in it but my guess at this point is it's some sort of gear change.

any help much appreciated.

turns out it was the drive shaft, dealer has to replace it.
