I had the clunk as well and I read the forums and put mine over a pit and put some grease in and that made a lot of difference no more clunk but I must admit I have been waiting for the return of it Cheers Foxy

Am I correct in assuming that this is a D4D thing because my 150 v6 certainly doesn't do it and as some of the PPer's will tell you it gets driven like it's stolen (that's by the wife by the way).

I have no idea Andrew. Just know that I personally have never found too much lubrication to be a problem, and even with it is inevitable things will blow.[B][COLOR=blue]Bitumen: A blatant waste of taxpayers money![/COLOR][/B]

LOL love the reply............Getting back to the original lubrication required when I worked for Toyota the workshop use to use like a copper coloured stuff on the splines, they would be pulled apart, the grease cleaned up off them, then coated in this copper type spray then let dry the regreased and put back in, now this was back in 88 to 92 which for memory would have been the 80 series cruiser so maybe its been happening since then, (not sure I have the right vehicle, could have been 4 runner even,cant remember) but anyway they use to use that and it fixed the problem, they said that with this stuff it stops the splines binding up. I will see if I can find out the name of the stuff off my mate, he was there for 18 years............. Regards SteveFace lift 150 Prado V6 auto. No mods yet

I had mine 'fixed' at 15k, and again at 20k. Not a sound or a squeak or a clunk, and I've just clocked 90k.
Apparently there were air pockets in the grease, the first time they left a few behind, but nothing since.D4D Prado GXL - 2014. 2" OME lift, ARB Deluxe Winch bar, ARB under body protection plates, ARB EZ Deflator, Weaco fridge, Matsen fridge on slide, BFG A/T's, ARB CKMA12 compressor, Oztrail side awning with LED lights PLUS canvas extension, Lightforce XGT's..

I took my car in for its 20k service this morning, told the service manager that there was a thud when i came to a stop, i said commonly know as "tailshaft clunk" he nodded in agreement as he knew exactly what i was talking about and said it would take a little bit longer to do the service.... no probs . Picked the car up this afternoon and he's ordered me a new tailshaft to be fitted on the same day my mudflaps and bumper gets done.
Mine only started happening in the past 2-3000k and it was only every so often, probably 1 in 10 stops.... maybe more.
