Automatic Transmission - thunk/clunk when taking off or stopping

[paposalsa]

I recently bought a 2wd crew cab 2004 in excellent shape.

I didn't notice this about the transmission during test drive, but now I'm noticing it.

anyone has the link for the fix for this issue below:

other than that the transmission works good....

Thanks

This sounds kinda off topic but check all of your ujoints. The slack in all of them combined will make that kind of noise sometimes.

Defiantly sounds like ujoints. They're located under you truck on the driveshaft. If it's not ujoints it might be the diff but I highly doubt it.

This is what is called axle wrap. Your leaf springs are worn out and when you stop or go it will clunk. You just need to get new leaf springs. Every thing else should be fine

Thanks rambo! I will do that to mine because it's having problems every time I stop and especially when o stop abruptly. My next question is if I can do it myself or is it something I need to take to the shop to get done? Also what fluid is best to use? I have a 1999 Tacoma v6 3.4 4x4
