8 speed tranny clanking noise
Anyone with 8 speed tranny has the clanking/clunking noise when shifting to P? When I park my car and shift from R to P there is a clanking/clunking noise and I feel small vibration on shifter itself when the noise occurs. It happens all the time and the noise loud enough. Is that normal? Do you guys have that as well? Up to this moment I thought it is normal (it still very well maybe) until I drove my friends Audi that does not have any noises when playing with the shifter. My Audi did not have that either. Please anybody advise.

On these cars, the shifter is a direct mechanical linkage that moves a lever; the other end of the lever operates a switch inside the transmission. So, you can expect some mechanical feedback through the lever -- it can happen when the engine/trans shifts a bit on its mounts, etc. I think Toyotas have been designed that way for some time.
The Audi shifter is probably like a joystick... The switch is right in the shifter lever itself, so the shifter in your hand is isolated from the car mechanically.
