Hi Guys!
I own a 1996 Toyota Rav4 which makes a knocking sound when i shift from N to R.
I visited a local tech who suggested that the transmission was gone, so we replaced the transmission. Now reverse engages just fine but when i shift from N to D, it makes that knocking sound (a bang). I want to customize the car (give it a facelift) but i cant carry on before i sort out this problem. Any ideas?

a friend has a 98 rav4 - 360k miles, only problem he's had is a cracked
exhaust manifold. i think the op needs a mechanic that knows what
they're actually doing, not one who simply replaces transmissions by way
of guesswork.

Just out of curiosity, are you saying that the transmission was
working fine other then it made a noise when you shifted from N to R
and you had it rebuilt because of that one noise even though it was
otherwise working just fine?

Hey there,
My RAV had the same problem. When I took it to the mechanic, he said it's something to do with the engine mount being a bit crummy, and the insides being slightly loose. This could be the problem with yours? The fix ended up costing me about $150 all up.
