    My daughters 4Runner, 2007 Sport. When you are starting out in lower gear, there seems to be a noticeable vibration/rumble as it shifts. Once you are at highway speeds, it smooths out and runs fine. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, how can it be fixed? I appreciate your time!

    Hi there you guys, I am having that exact same issue now. My truck is a 2007 and other than that issue runs pretty good for it's age.
    Me being a newbie, since this seems to be a transmission issue, it may seem a stupid question for some of you, I suppose that stuff have to be added to the transmit ion fluid?
    in my book is better safe than sorry.

    Thanks a lot for the advice, I hope it does the trick for me.

    Yes sir, its that easy. It works as soon as a few blocks from my garage. I had the rumble at 30 mph and 40mph.

    Its kind of amazing how well it works, honestly. Solved 98% of the rumbling for me. Certain low rpm and high load situations (up steep hills under 25mph, etc) it'll still chatter juuuuust a little. But yeah, if you're googling around and find this thread, try the lubeguard shudder fix.
