    When I come to a slow or any stop something doesn't feel right. It feels like it's right under me in the tranny I thought maby broken tranny mounts or moter mounts but from what i can see all looks good. Automatic transmission fluids look good I'm baffled. I thought maby linkedge from the shifter I don't know? Any input would be appreciated.

    Read this and then post back with a better explanation for us to help you .
    At the bottom of this posting , you will find the complete manual for your transmission . I suggest reading some of the diagnostics .
    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/te...warner-340-series-transmissions-write-up.html
    There are many possibilities to why a transmission feels sloppy when coming to a stop.
    When was your last transmission fluid change ?
    Have you checked your universal joints ?
    Have you greased your slip yoke ?
    Is your transmission fluid full ?

    If your tranny is sloppy, something must be a little loose. Maybe you can put a shem......er uh....a shim in your tranny to fill up any gaps.

    A little less lube might make things feel tighter too. :rolleyes:

    Are you sure the shaft that you are inserting into the tranny is big enough? If your shaft is too small that might be the problem. :rofl:

    I guess i need to start a welcome thread.

    Hi, I'm new here but I have been derailing threads for years. Hope you got your question answered........who am i kidding, right now I'm just thankful there isn't a line of tranny pics.

    Steves104x4 did not have sexual relations with that woman. Rather, he likes horses.
