    Hi Everyone,

    I have a 2011 v6 Taco Double Cab TRD with an automatic transmission. On startup, after it hasn't been running for several hours, I hear a cyclic knocking. Sometimes I cant notice it and other times its quite obvious. If I drive and increase the RPM the noise frequency follows proportionally. If I had to guess maybe its the clutch or maye my oil pump isn't working well?

    Here is audio of the startup (the break in the track is me moving to the left front wheel well): https://soundcloud.com/brett-miller-855118614/tacoma-2011-cyclic-sound-startup

    The Taco has 46,000 miles. The dealership has never mentioned anything after asking them to listen for it.

    Also I'm out of Warranty now. What's your consensus on extended warranty?

    Thanks everyone
