Hey everyone,
Just picked up a high mileage '98 100 from a Toyota dealer (224k mi.). Everything seems in pretty good working condition. Belts were changed pretty recently, has had regular service and one owner for its life.
One question is that I get a rasping sound at 1500 rpm to around 2000 in 1st gear (and sometimes 2nd).
At first I suspected that it was an issue with transmission when shifting (as it tends to happen right before the car shifts out of first), but I get it even while in L.
I don't generally hear it in neutral (rare exception below), which again makes me suspect it has to do with the tranny.
I've linked to two videos: the first shows going up through 1st gear -- it almost sounds like 2 distinct sounds (once at 1500 rpm and then once before shifting). The second video is in neutral -- there is a slight and very brief rasp as the engine slows down. I am just learning the specifics of the transmission as this is my first automatic vehicle.
Hoping to just get an idea of what to expect before heading to a mechanic.
