There are a few other noises that the car makes, i am thinking they are normal and i'm just not used to a performance car. Such as sometimes when i put it into 1st gear and start to take off, there is a bump or clunk from the rear...
It's pretty simple to change tyranny fluid; imho you should be doing that yourself. Either way, don't let your "mechanic" put some random fluid in there. It's a $5,500 transmission and the wrong fluid will ruin it!

The clunk is probably improperly torqued control arm cam bolts (from the last badly-done alignment by another "mechanic" who doesn't follow oem specifications).

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
