i have this problem and already took the car to toyota. i don't even beat on the car to get the 4th gear grind. it's in correlation to transmission speed, not engine speed. if i'm in 5th or 6th going 70 mph on the freeway and try to downshift to 4th, it grinds terribly and won't go into gear easily at all. i was told i have to wait till a special tech guy comes back into town to look at the problem, but was told i was getting a new transmission altogether
