    Hey guys,

    I have been having some drivetrain lash on my Tacoma that is just a couple weeks old. It was happening right from the first few miles, but I just thought it was me being a little rusty on the manual. It's really noticeable when you are in 6th on the highway and you let off the gas all the way and then apply it again. It was is noticeable when you are upshifting and don't give enough gas.

    The above things can all be avoided by driving technique, but now I am in the mountains and driving down curvy inclines in 4th, there is always the clunk when you reapply the gas after coasting.

    I saw on another forum someone said all his Toyota 4x4s did this. I don't think it feels right and will be taking it in to get checked out at the dealer.

    Does anyone else have this issue?
