Mine does the same thing and its a 98. I have been worried about it but havent felt it in quite some time. It kinda shutters sometimes before it slams into OD too. Wonder if its the driveshaft when its low on grease?
98 - 2000 100 owners - Is your Transmission Original or Replaced?

'98 FZJ105 with A442F 4spd auto currently just over 200,000km. No mechanical issues, I just change the oil and filter as required.
It does have a stage 2 valvebody (190,000km) and is subject to daily abuse from a boosted 1FZ

2000 LX with 212,000 miles now, with no problems at all. Transmission replaced at 90,000 by previous owner at Lexus dealer under warranty, due to failed transmission pump. All scheduled maintenance was done before pump failure.

2000 with 128k and no issues, original trans as far as I know.
Cheers

330,000 KM here (approx 200,000 miles) and the original transmission. Shifts like brand new
1999 Toyota Land Cruiser with 191000 miles. With no transmission fluid change. It is a champ. With original transmission.
2000 240,000 miles - still going strong.
My 2000 has been a champ. No tranny issues.
Ive posted this already on a diff thread
He's done this since new, plus I have had the shaft lube'd (but not too much!) occasionally w/o discernible difference.
Very much feels like it comes from the bowels of the truck...
250K original transmissions but I did change the transmission filter and fluid (OEM) because it seems like the transmission took a little while to shift but that was because I had ECT mode on.
1999 LX 470 with 230k+ and still going.. knock on wood!
I've been curious if anyone has ever swapped it for a manual trans... tried searching awhile back with no results.
280k on my 99. Original trans feels as good as ever. Driven by a gal that I suspect babied it for the first 200k and I drive real easy on the highway as well, so it's seen a relatively easy life.
260K original transmission working as intended. It did have a babied life until 230k!
The 98 / 99 transmissions seem to be really strong. The problems, which are still relatively rare, start in 2000. For 2000 the transmission got a new part number and a different rebuild kit. The A343F rebuild kits today are for 1995 to 1999, then a different kit for 2000 to 2002. They had to make some fairly significant changes internally to warrant a different rebuild kit. Of course 2000 was a big year in the modernization of the vehicle with VSC, A-Trac, etc. I'm sure they thought they were improving the transmission too but sometimes these things don't work according to plan.
185k miles, shifts great.
Trans pan dump and refill scheduled for this week.

Just turned over 196k and shifts fine. No lag.. currently working on refreshing the front axles to fix some PO work, mainly R-N-D clunk, but outside of that no issues.
I'm 2000, 381k, original tranny, no issues
