92 pickup with 22re and auto trans. is still vibrating bad when put into any gear, at idle its fine no vibrations just when put into gear . also it seems to me like it idles a little high/fast the truck doesn't have a rpm gauge so I have no clue what its running at . I have put new engine and tranny mounts in it and that didn't seem to do anything . Can anybody help me as to what might be going on ? other then that it seems to be good , I did have a problem before with power going up hills but since flamethrower sent me new injectors to try it seem to be better . any help would be great ! thanks

Now that's its cold out and I have had to turn on the heat , I have noticed that the fan also make a vibration type sound its hard to explain but it goes along with the motor. again it doesn't do it when in park only when in a gear .

My 91 4runner did the same thing. Then the rear drive shaft fell off. The bolts had came apart. After it fell it was smooth sailing. Check that to rule it out.

hey thanks ill have to check it out since I have to pull the tranny this spring my front seal blew a couple of weeks ago and have no place to do it but outside. my big wonder is if my converter is ok and if the seal or the conv. was the problem all along .

I wonder if the flex plate bolts are coming loose .??

VTToy

I guess ill find out this spring . its laid up now for the winter not that I want it to be but guess the front seal for the tranny is gone tranny fluid is pouring out the end of trans. and have no place to do it but outside and to dam cold for that now [plus snow] I am wondering if the seal was bad if that could be it ? or if maybe the torque converter is bad ? I didn't run it out of fluid at least I don't think , it still says its still about half full on dipstick . but ill take any advice on what to look for . I do wonder how do you tell if the torque conv. is bad or not ? thanks

What kind of vibration is it? Sounds like your engine may be misfiring.

Best tell for a bad converter is if you get a lag when you drop it into gear. If you don't feel the trans engage right away your converter is probably going.

However it's been my experience bad trans parts don't cause vibration till the rig is moving.

I'm gonna venture to say some kind of misfire if all your mounts are New.

VTToy

it seems to engage right away as soon as you pull back the lever it goes right in . I did notice again [last time it was driven] that there seem to be a spot were you give it gas theres like a flat spot ? if you let off a little or give it some more it'll pick up . but again this doesn't happen everytime I have driven it just like one time it does next it doesn't .and then again the vibration when put into gear . something strange going on someplace ! and now the seal goes so something else to do !

Did you check the U-Joints, and the breather valve on the rear axle.

if vibration happens when in motion, than you might have bad u-joints. if the vibration happens while in gear and you're not moving, than its most likely the trans.

Check and replace your spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor, and spark plug wires.
These are really easy things to check and you might find the issue pretty quick.

It really sounds like a misfire.

You wouldnt believe what even a little water in the disty will do.

VTToy

yup breather is loose I know on my 87 pickup I was always told to make sure I could spin it that Toyotas had a habit of freezing up. also u-joints seem all good.

VTToy

yup it happens when you put it in gear and just sitting there . I do have to replace the front seal in the tranny as I blew it out last month going up a hill in my field through the snow [it took a few trys!] during deer season . my sons s10 couldn't do it and just had to prove the yota could ! it did but the front seal started pouring out tranny fluid so its sitting till spring but really want to fig this problem out. thanks

VTToy

ya I know it don't take much just like a jeep. all plugs,wires,cap,rotor,coil and not sure if im missing anything but the guy I got it from just did it all before I bought it I even have all the old parts. thanks
