Description of the problem	This filing is in reference to my 2006 toyota tundra sr5 v8 4. 7 ltr 10,000 miles. For the past few weeks of driving the above referenced vehicle i started to notice a knocking metal sound under the center console when accelerating and braking... I took no immediate action as i found it to be a very light sound. After a few more days of driving the knock became more noticeable i was more alarmed, when i got home i got under my truck with a flashlight and started to take a look around, after careful inspection i found that 3 of 4 12mm hex bolts on the automatic transmission mount/ crossmember were missing further more the case was that the rear transmission mount located near the driveshaft were loose enough that could be moved with minimal strength with my hand i was able to recover 1 bolt that fell into the crossmember along with a plastic retainer. I quickly tightened the loose bolts and realigned the mount took the truck out for a quick test drive and the sound stopped totally, the next morning i contacted my local toyota dealer and purchased 2 new hex bolts that came out to $ 3. 40. After this u can say that all is now well, i believe this should be looked into as there maybe other similar units out there with the same issue, this could cause major damage to the vehicle and also possible inflict an accident. *nm
