    My 2000 Tacoma 2.7l auto transmission shakes bad while stoped and in gear it won't shake if its in park or neutral. But drive and reverse it shakes like hell. Can anyone help me out on what this could be? Or where to start ?

    Idle is not adjustable.
    You have a tach right? What is the rpm while in drive at idle ?

    My guess would be the Idle Air Control valve is dirty. It probably has never been cleaned.

    Land cruisers have similar problem and it seems that common remedies are

    Clean throttle body
    Clean MAF sensor
    Check engine mounts

    That does not seem too low. Mine idles at about 650 rpm (also a 2.7L)

    If its the motor mounts (2 up front, and one on the tranny), then the motor/tranny should be visibly shaking while idling in gear. Pop the hood and check it out.

    I have no experience with a bad torque converter, and what symptoms that would show up.

    Its a bad torque converter... if it was motor mounts, or MAF, or IAC, or low idle it would do it all the time, not just in drive or reverse.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    If it is tranny rebuild time, I'd install a Trans-Go shift kit, too.
