Hi, First off this site is awesome. I purchased my first 4runner a 2000 SR5 with 88,000k about 3 1/2 months ago. Previously I had a Jeep which ran really well but was totalled. Anyway, my 4runner is a dream and awesome in everyway except one way.
When I drive anywhere and stop but still in drive such as at stop lights, stop and go traffic and stop signs there is a weird vibration felt throughout the vehicle almost like a straining vibration but the engine is not straining. However, the vibration would stop once I started to accelerate or put the vehicle into park. The car still ran great otherwise, so I finally took it to a local pep boys to be looked at and they noticed the vibration but said its probably trasmission or transfer case and told me to bring to a transmission place. The transmission place said it wasn't the transmission or case and that it is probably a mount issue but they aren't sure.
Does anyone have any experience or information on this? I would greatly appreciate it because the vibration can really bug me at times and I want to make sure it isn't anything serious. Thank you in advance
