I experience extreme shaking of the engine when I attempt to move my prado from stop in first gear. This does not happen once the is in motion and in other gears. The shaking also happens when I shift to reverse gear
If you have a manual gear box there are two things that you can check. First is the engine mounts especially the rear one to see if the rubber has broken away. Check all engine mounts for the same problem.. The second is a failing clutch or if you have a cable operated clutch it points to engine mounts. What appears to be happening is when you engage the clutch in first gear the torque reaction of the engine is rolling the gear box away from the clutch actuation arm or lever. The clutch slips ,the engine rolls back ,the clutch engages , the engine rolls and so you have a bad shudder. When you are moving the reaction is less as you move up through the gears . If all is good then have a qualified clutch and brake specialist do a check on the clutch itself.

It sounds like your idle air control valve could be going out on you. The extra stress from being in gear can cause the car to stall out if the IAC valve isn't opperating properly. The IAC is attached to the throttle body and is normally held on by two screws. IAC valves are relatively cheap from AutoZone and easy to replace. That would be my best guess based on your description. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for an honest rating and for using FixYa!

suggest that you check your transmission fluid post haste please. you may only need to add transmission fluid to your car. also,if you have to add the fluid,where did your fluid leak? check for leaks under your car when parked. you may need transmission fluid and filter change,suggest that you do this with new filter and add lucas transmission treatment to the fluid change also. you'll need to purchase this yourself,unless you have a mechanic in the family that can do it for you.if not i suggest you find a mechanic you trust,then tell him,or,her to add this to your tranny fluid change. also suggest while the mechanics there at the transmission to check the modulator valve on the transmission,and the vacum line that operates it. just a hint. thanks for choosing fixya.com
