Weird Vibration

[jsmith21]

For the past few days, my runner has been making a weird vibration/bumpy feeling around 30 miles per hour. Any slower and it doesn't do it, and speed up and it goes away. No weird noise or anything just the bumpiness, and it doesn't always do it. It only while accelerating slightly. It's pretty harsh though. Would this be bad u-joints? Thanks in advance.

Transmission. This same exact problem happened to me. Have you serviced your tranny recently?

Nope, it's got 104,000 miles and I've never touched it...I was under the impression that the transmission was sealed and had lifetime long fluid in it..so go get the fluid changed?

That's what I did a couple days ago and haven't noticed it since

Well I went to the dealer (cause I don't have the means or tools to change it myself while in school) and they tried everything they could to talk me out of a full fluid change. They want me to have them 'inspect' the driveline for a few hours before they do any work. Labor is 90 bucks an hour. Have any others had this issue? It's getting worse and more frequent. Now it feels like I'm driving over a rumble strip from about 25-30 mph. I've tried searching and all I have come up with is to have the fluid changed. Do i go ahead and have this done even though the Toyota dealer told me I didn't need to? :help:
