GX 470 driveline

Noticed the clunk after about 10,000 miles. Mine is a 2008. The
problem here is they are so non-chalant about. When I brought mine in
for routine service yesterday the service writer said "oh yeah-they
have an update for that". Too quick with an answer for an obvious long
term probelm. Document/document. This is strike one. And the cup
holders suck.

If like the 2007 LX a 5 speed then it's probably still an Aisin A750
series transmission. I personally don't care much for Aisin budget
transmissions. If you only hear a clunk I think you're lucky.

Yes, the "much better than average" rating for the GX transmission
from consumer reports is a definite red flag.

And the clunk is not transmission related, it's re-designed rear
control arms. Not exactly something major to worry about...

Well, looks like it's a drive shaft problem, starts in a few thousand
miles when new. Must be a cheap defective design to do that. See TSB
DL002-07.

Sure, check TSB DL002-07. The drive shaft likes to fly apart I guess.
A real cheap design. There was a GX in front, looks really ugly.
