24 TRD/OR 6sp shifting clunk sound

[JR0712]

Hey everyone.

I been searching for a few weeks and no one has the same issue.

When shifting up in 1,2,3 there is a loud clunk sound. Like a drum stick hitting a plastic ramen bowl right at clutch engagement to flywheel…. I rev match to try and eliminate the sound with no success. Also release of clutch really slowly doesnt help either… I tried going into a higher rpm (3k-3500) before shifting with no success plus the rev hang is pretty up there. No grinding ever when up and downshifting. 4wd H&L is golden.

I am scheduled to take it to the dealer for their assessment. But would like a little more input if anyone else has this issue or familiar with this.
Thanks in advance everyone.

Btw: 11k miles.

My 2G would complain when I shifted too fast. What you're describing sounds like the drivetrain shifting backwards and forwards after a quick shift. Just all the play in the bushings, u joints, mounts etc

I would suggest shifting slower.

The clunk sound comes when I start to release the cutch. With the rev hang in this truck, I pretty much always shift slow… here on Maui, not many people are in a rush, well me anyway.

The manual transmission clunks when changing gears. Likely nothing wrong with yours but doesn't hurt to check it out.

Also yeah, truck transmission. Gonna be clunky and overall noisy.

I felt same thing when i got the truck new . But i think its totally normal . As i have read somewhere that toyota intentionally kept 6MT truck as raw as possible and made sure that driver hears every sound of machine so its more engaging experience .
I dont hear that clunk noice as often now . May be i got use to it .
One thing i have noticed is that only time i hear clunk now is when truck trans is not warmed and i disengage clutch too quick specially.
When i got the truck new my shifts were rough special 1st -2nd -3rd but now its smooth 90 percent of the time . Not sure if transmission was new then or i got more comfortable with it now
