Hi guys,
I just noticed some problem on my 2001 Toyota Sequoia. When I make full stop, I can feel the car is stopped, but also feel like some big thing inside lose and try to move the car forward. Like someone hitting my back. Very similar as towing a trailer and the trailer hits when I stop. I inspect my brake, front brake is good and I changed new rear rotor and pads. This feeling is still exist. I don’t think this is brake problem, feel like transmission. I read some online post, there are some people have similar problem as mine. Then I drain the tranny fluid and refill 4 qts new fluid. Now the fluid looks very clean, but this problem still here. The tranny shift is ok, not very smooth, but not bad. Does Lucas transmission fix fluid can help? I’m not sure how bad is my problem? I saw some people complaint 2001 and 2002 sequoia tranny, I hope I can do something to help my tranny holding for a while.
ThanksTong

If you suspect the transmission, next time you’re coming to a stop put it in neutral. If the problem goes away then it’s possible you have a transmission issue. Also, if you have a check engine light on you might want to pull the codes to see if any are transmission related. If there are any, look into those as a possible cause of the problem.

Good luck and keep us posted.
Thanks, Eric! I just test it, very smooth stopped when I shift to neutral. What do you think the problem from? Torque converter? It is ok to drive, just worry it break on the way. Is this problem can cost a lot?
Do you think the Lucas transmission fix fluid can help a little bit?Are you hearing any noise? These vehicles had problems with slip joints in the back causing a thump and push type effect… Lubing can help in some instances… Toyota changed the lube material as well to a teflon type… (see and read second link)
