My 1990 4Runner when I shift into 1st and go almost never goes smooth, it kind of goes like hm-hm-hm-hm,.. sort of jerks. I can't seem to make ot go smooth in between the gears, escpecially 1st and 2nd.
well if u give it more gas the clutch will vibrate less if there is something in there that shouldnt be...such as a bump is smoother if u go over it at 15MPH rather than 5MPH When was there any clutch work last done? If it was me and nothing has been done for many many miles id get a new clutch and resurface the flywheel but thats just me... the clutch is hard to find out whats wrong since u cant really look at it unless u take it out
I have this same problem with my 1993 4Runner. I am guessing that the flywheel is crakced or has hot spots. I have been driving my 4Runner for a year and a half like this.
