New D4D My10 With Problems...

[cyberguy]

I just bought my MY10 D4D (the new with euro 5 specs) and from the first day I heard a metallic noise when I changed gears at low revs. I thought maybe its the clutch, but now after 600 miles, when I rev higher (~3000) and change fast gears I hear a metallic "bang". The same thing happens when I cruise with 3rd gear and ~1600 rpm and I play with the accelerator.

I lifted the car in the toyota dealer and we saw that there is a gearbox-engine mount that is quite soft in order to absorb the noise from the engine. This mount is quite soft and when it is stretched it produces this metallic sound (bang)

The problem is that the engineers dont have any other D4D to compare the noise to see if its natural or mine has a problem. Thats why I wanted to ask other D4D owners (MY2010) if they face the same problem.

thnx

do you have the 6 speed manual ?
if so I do not think that the sound should be there I have 6 speed tranny and no sound is noticeable while changing the gears
your service have to fix it since you have warranty

yes its 6 speed manual, but they told me that d4d and 1.33 has different gearbox and engine-tranny mount
