    2020 sr5 4wd intermittent noise, toyota can't identify, no check eng light, noise happens at idle, cold, after running for a while, between 2nd and 3rd grear, while reversing after driving for a while. Replaced coil pack and plugs. Anyone know what this is?

    I tried to upload a video, but can't change it from an mp4 to an acceptable video this platform accepts. So I uploaded a YouTube video. Follow the link and you can hear it. Not spam, not AI, just working from an android lol

    welcome.
    More explanation is probably needed. What kind of noise? ticking? clunking? Hard shifting? any recordings of the noise?

    Sounds like your transmission is on borrowed time! Better look for a replacement. That's my educated guess for diagnosing a noise by text over the internet.

    That's what happens when AI tries to join a forum. It knows all the words, but doesn't know how to use them to make sense.
