2009 PRADO DEISEL - FAULTY TAILSHAFT


Badman

Recommended Posts

:D I bought a new Prado deisel in Feb 2009 and since new it had the following problem. After coming to a complete stop (normally,...like at traffic lights or similar) and then letting the brakes go in order to move off, the car gave an audible thump from under the car and a substantial "shove" in the back of your seat. It was very noticable on down hill lines. it was as if the car was not initially engaging 1st gear but then did just prior to moving off.

After being told by the dealer that it was just "excess spacing in the spline between the tailshaft and the gearbox", and that their solution was to fill the space with grease, I continued to raise the problem when within a few kilometres of having the space greased, the thump returned.

Again after some persistence with the dealer, they admitted it was a known problem with the tailshaft and booked it in for a tailshaft replacement.

Last week the new tailshaft was installed and all seems to be working perfectly now. Cheers. Badman.
