New Tacoma clutch chatter/shake

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 11:59 am

I have a 2001 Tacoma 4×2 extracab 2.4 5 speed and am getting a shake when
letting the clutch out from a stop. It was doing this for the first 100
miles or so and then was real smooth up to 1000 miles. Now it is shaking
again. If  I set the parking brake and try to engage the clutch it feels
smooth so I would think it isn’t the clutch. Anybody experience this before?
Any comments before I take it back to the dealer? Thanks, Todd.

  1. My ’99 2WD X-Cab 5-speed did that starting at about 100 miles. I took it to
    the dealer, they said there was no problem found. It never did it again. Now
    I’ve got 26K miles.
    I just don’t trust those bastards. I don’t know what they did if anything
    but if its fixed, who cares. I suspect they burned on the clutch until it
    smoothed out(broke in).
    There is also a rattling sound coming from around the bell housing  at low
    speeds. I may never know if this is related until  *I*  have to start paying
    for repairs.(3 year warranty)
    All I ever get from them is ‘that’s normal".
