LEXUS LX470 '99 Tranny "strike"

[LLX470]

Hey everyone. It`s first time I post new thread on this site. Please help me and give me advises.
I ride 99 LX470, 230 miles on it, never had any problems, everything work fine and the visual side on car is so good.

about 1 year ago, i noticed, that there is a some strike while shifting from R to D and from D to R. also some noise of motion. like this "DUGG...."

this strike becomes stronger by time. When the engine is old the strike is very little.

Please give me an advice what to to ? It`s worth to change a transmission mount?

you can use the search feature to find information on the transmission clunk that has been discussed many times.

Welcome to MUD!
In summary: The noise is normal.

The driveline, driveshafts and connectors have some play built into them. When you switch from reverse to forward (or forward to reverse) the driveshafts and connecting components collectively make a "THUNK" noise.

The noise is nothing to worry about.

If you pump lots of grease into all the fittings on the driveshafts, the noise will decrease for a few months.

I would try greasing all of the fittings on the driveline and see if that helps.

If not, it might be worthwhile to try the transmission mounts, but most of the experience suggests that the noise comes from driveline slack, and it is nothing to worry about.

Grease your driveshafts.

Where are you located?
It would be great to see some pictures of your LX.
Again, welcome!
