GX 470 driveline

Noticed the clunk after about 10,000 miles. Mine is a 2008. The problem here is they are so non-chalant about. When I brought mine in for routine service yesterday the service writer said "oh yeah-they have an update for that". Too quick with an answer for an obvious long term probelm. Document/document. This is strike one. And the cup holders suck. Mike


Yes, the "much better than average" rating for the GX transmission from consumer reports is a definite red flag.

And the clunk is not transmission related, it's re-designed rear control arms. Not exactly something major to worry about...

Well, looks like it's a drive shaft problem, starts in a few thousand miles when new. Must be a cheap defective design to do that. See TSB DL002-07.
