I recently bought a 99 Tacoma v6 3.4 automatic 4x4 ext cab with 180k miles on it. The previous owner wasn't very mechanically inclined but did have the tires rotated/aligned, oil changed often. We test drove it and it performed well in all aspects. The only thing we felt was a small clunk when we came to a stop. We didn't thing anything of it but it's gotten to be worse the more I drive it. The more abrupt the stop the bigger the clunk. But The clunking sound/feel didn't happen until after I let off the brake once stopped. It's almost as if the tranny is laggy or something. I've heard it could be from worn out leaf springs to low tranny fluid to u-joints and I would just like to get a solid response on what exactly I'm dealing with. Could the tranny just be shot? What should I do? Thanks ahead of time guys! You are great!
