2004 Toyota Land Cruiser — clunk when changing from reverse to drive

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser in Columbus with 142,000 miles. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. I'd do that before spending real money. Do that first. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser in Columbus, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “clunk when changing from reverse to drive,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Just my two cents from doing this recently. That's my plan before I call anyone.
