    Lots of stuff!
    I got my Tundra in for recalls and some TSB's to fix up a few nagging things. One thing was the hesitation and/or the transmission being sluggish to select a gear. I also got my first free oil change:)

    Driving back from the dealership, I noticed that there was a bit of clunking when the transmission was shifting up from second or third. There was one instance where I felt it and heard it.

    The truck is driving better and the rolling start up hesitation seems much better. But now I have a clunk!

    Does anyone have a clunk like mine? If so, what did they do to fix it other than say "that's normal"?

    I don’t have any clunks, the trans is slow to warm up and reach full temp from what I’ve noticed and doesn’t perform peak until it does

    Thanks, I was looking at the cold start clunk but I don’t know if that will happen now with my new and improved clunky update. When I picked up the truck it was warm. I will watch for it when I start it up after sitting overnight.

    The noise I heard and felt seemed like I lost a motor mount or u joint.
