Hello Prado Community
Since i am in Panama i am a happy Prado Owner. We go Camping and Offroading a lot, so the Car has some hard usage times.

As its hard to find a very good mechanics i would like to specify the issue by myself first.

Since some times i have some strange sounds from below the car.

Example 1 (more Transmission issue):
Stand still in N, shift to D, metallic "clack" when the Gear swich, which i can feel as the car shakes a bit. Same when shifting from D to R or vice versa.

Example 2:
Driving 30mph, almost no gas. Press gas, metallic "clock" sound from below the car, with after rhytmic "dakdakdak" from the drive train as long i have me foot on gas.

Its not happening always!

Thanks, Dezz

Check universal joints and tail shaft.

Got it solved. Was a damaged drive shaft! And mixed with noise from the hand brake which got corroded over time.
