Who said DMF needed done, David? Very very unusual for a 4.3 to fail in that department....

It went into a toyota main dealer ant they changed the DMF and the clutch ! The clutch had 9000 mile on it

[Davrav]

If the new DMF hasn't cured the problem I would guess that they misaligned/damaged something when the engine was re-installed the first time.

When the engine is running and you press the clutch you can here the mechanics clunking in the clutch and when you release the pedal slowly you can feel vibration through the pedal .

That to me sounds like a misaligned malfitted clutch and / OR a thrust bearing that has either moved or is gubbered, mate.....Davrav was following my thoughts re a duff engine / gearbox alignification.....Paul McCartney job.....Get Back......

Cheers for that its going back to toyota for " another road test " tried two dealers now but they seem to cover each others backs ! It's still under warranty so told them this time to keep the car till its fixed
