"Thud" when I stop, gear shift moves too!

I got this little silent thud upon complete stopping and then another one after I hit the gas again. The darn gear shifter seems to be moving more than it shoud, if at all, when I torque the engine and come to a stop. WTF Engine & tranny mounts look good, u-joints are fine. Is my auto-trans not down shifting into 1st smoothly or wha'? Fluids are sound. Anybody got the DL on this one?

 

It's still sounds like a mount issue, the torque is moving the whole Engine & transmission. The mounts might look good but something is not right. Unless now that I think... something internal in the tranny is not tight which is allowing the torque to transfer through the shifter.

 

nowhere near an inch and a half, its just visible to nakedness.

 

Im with Chris-my '01 shifter moves around and has done so since new....it is a non-issue

 

AAL, whats that? I just replaced my 99 taco for this one due to the rusty frame problem. so I wanna keep her purrty, shes a thing a beauty so gimme the angle for the dangle. Spring pack suggestions??

 

Its "add a leaf"

 

i have the same problem with the axle wrap on my 04 dc. the rear springs are flat and worn out, so im going to remedy this problem by getting some wheelers rear leaf packs from wheelers offroad. here is a link if you want to check out some of the stuff they have.....awesome company

 

I think I have this same issue. It feels like the truck doesn have a super smooth final stop like it should right?

Will the TSB on the rear leafs work to fix the problem maybe?

 

i ahd a little axle wrap on my 06, pre tsb. after the tsb, the truck rode and handled alot better, and i had no more axle wrap, so im gonna say yes........the new spring pack should take care of it.

 

I have the same issue on my 05 DC 4x4 auto. Took to 2 different dealers and said same thing. A past thread someone was able to fix with a lift so I'm waiting for the 2.5 or 3 incher. A neighbor of mine had the same thing in his 03 nission 4 door 4x4 Frontier so maybe it's a Japanese thing.

 

anyone fix this problem?

 

i installed my new suspension on my 04 last weekend, and problem solved, not to mention, the ride is night and day difference now!!

 

I got these to help the "axle wrap" issue. Instructions say to install behind the axle, I put in front and they seem to stiffen the ride and fix a bit of the body roll. This is of course in lieu of a lift or AAL. They are spring assisters generally used to increase the weight capacity. Also they are cheap.

So here goes, ... Look and you shall find. Chris4x4 and Tacomaman06 pointed me in the right direction. I posted a question B-4 I used the search option here on TW. Now I know to search this awsome Forum for information. Axle Wrap is caused by this photo on my 1999 4x4. The springs are gone, worn slap out as Tacomaman06 would say. Have a look and see, they actually bend in the WRONG Direction. I don't have the ca$h to do a complete lift at the moment, and I just bought new tires, so I will get the wheelers 4 leaf to fix this problem.

New Leaf Springs......$430.00
No "Clunk" on acceleration....free
T.W. and friends helping me out on this one......Priceless

 

My truck did the same thing. It hasn't done it since I installed the AAL.

 

Thanks a million.

My girlfriend who holds my wallet thanks you.
