whats up guy got a lil problem maybe someone can help me out, in september i replaced my 1uz with one that had 63,000 miles on it car is running great except for one problem at times i here and feel this vibration/clanking sound from the engine bay. Anytime the car does this i usually shift it into park shut the car off and turn it on again the vibration/clanking goes away. At times i gotta repeat the steps until it doesnt come back got me a little worried taking it to the mechanic next wednesday just wanna know if anyone has had this problem and how did it get solved. thanks

 

Vibration/clanking - could be just about anything. Do check the heat shield on the exhaust has not become loose. I removed mine several years ago and there have been many posts on this subject.

 

will do mike thanks for the insight

 

Did you replace the motor and mount mounts when you did the swap? That could cause vibrations.
I had a bit of vibration as well and recently changed the trans mount on my 99 SC400, now it is smooth as silk. I have the engine mounts to do but not ready to tackle that job yet.
I suggest you change out the trans and engine mounts if you have not already done so.

 

whats up bigez yea i changed the engine and motor mounts but not the tranny mounts
