Hi everybody.
I did a diligent search on the topic, but if any info on the subject is known to you please copy/paste here.
The problem is as follows:
It started a few months after I got the LC in 2010. It is a late 2004 120 with the 5-speed auto.
Initially it was a light knock just before coming to a full stop when driving in the city.
These days it happens almost every time I stop at a traffic light, no matter how gently I bring it to a stop. If it does not happen at stopping, it happens when I release the brake, before I press the accelerator.
It is more pronounced during summer, more so with the a/c on and while driving in the city.
It is actually not a knock but a light jerk. English is not my native language, so I might be misleading you by not using the right word.
I've been advised to stay away from Toyota in Bulgaria, especially in Sofia.
My mechanic has been following it from the start and recommends not to do anything about it.
I changed the oil last spring at a specialized gearbox shop, the guy said to go for another oil change after 10000 km. He would go on with the troubleshooting afterwards.
I drove 6 different auto gearbox cars in the last 15 years but never had something like this.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance
