I've never owned an FJ80 so I am getting to know the various noises and not sure what "normal" is for these vehicles. This one kinda bugs me though, when going from Drive to Reverse and back again, there is an audible thunk or click. Seems to be the output of the transfercase. It basically feels that gears have a little too much play. When driving at speed if I lift off the accelerator and push it, I can feel the thunk. Not scary, but noticeable. Everything seems very tight from underneath.
Could it be u-joints? If so, how does one diagnose?
Could there be an issue with the transfer case output shaft? If so, how does one diagnose?
Could this be totally normal?
Thanks for all your input.
