Thanks for the reply guys. I know rogerthatv2 and Jeffers and with a lot of other feedback from our interstate PPers I will take it up with Toyota and NO is not an acceptable response. What a great discussion thread.

Go get em George

Believe me, they know about it and they are just testing the waters to see what they can get away with.

You'll be right mate!

Cheers,

Jeff

Thanks Jeff.

Is that Oldmac or Southside George? I had to almost fight with them just to do the service right (as in change the oil and filter correctly!) but since going to Motorama, massive difference.

Well got the new tailshaft fitted at the 60000k service, all good so far.

Well done Roy, did you have to argue much about it?

You will notice a real difference!

Cheers,

Jeff

Hi Jeff not alot of arguing, dealership stated they had to talk to Toyota about it.

FYI: When I put mine in to be checked out, the piece of paper I received back said: "Back order tail shaft as required as per TNF59/11"

I'm assuming that reference is some sort of Toyota bulletin on the issue?

I think they told me TNF is something like Technical News Flash, something like that.

Ours is a Jan 2013 build and has had the clunk since day 1. Does this mean that the "replacement" tailshaft that some have had fitted is different to the tail shaft still being fitted on the production line?

I would say you are correct Stig.

When I had the replacement shaft fitted to the 120 the service guy said the 'special' shaft was made of unobtainium and rocking horse shit and was heinously expensive so Toyota only fitted it to vehicles with a problem. Read an owner who wouldn't put up with the clunk and complained a lot. My 150 has about 5,000 km on it now and still ok but I expect the problem to develop as the splines wear.

I might check out ToyoDIY and see if the same part number has been carried forward.

I was told it has some special coating on the splines...some reference to diamionds if I recall (no pun intended)
