#146 of 155 95 Camry Transmission by oilcan93 May 24, 2009 (11:24 am)
I just purchased a 95 Camry. The problems with the transmission are twofold: 1.) Above 45-50 mph the RPM's are too high for the engine speed based on my last Camry (1996) that this car replaces. At 60 mph I am around 3200 RPM. At 70 I'm over 4000 RPM. I am used to 2600-2800 for around 70 mph. It seems that the car will go through all gears normally but the overdrive gear never kicks in. 2.) If I'm at 60 mph (or ANY other speed just for example) and around 3200 RPM and I remove my foot from the accelerator, the engine tachs down immediately to around 1000-1100 (idle speed) and when I want to accelerate or just engage the engine to speed up, the engine revs ups freely until the RPM's meet the point where they engage. It works the same if I allow cruise control to take over.   This car was an engine rebuild by a mechanic so it could be as easy as he just didn't put in the correct ATF so the friction agents aren't working or the whole tranny could just be junk and I can replace it with the one from my old car (235k miles). I'm certainly no mechanic. I'm just going by the posts I have read on here.   Any thoughts or questions to help me hone in on this issue? Should I drain the tranny through the drainplug and just refill with what I KNOW is the correct ATF? I don't want to mess it up more without some guidance. So thank you for any offered.
#147 of 155 1994 camry V6 Transmission issue? by mbumgarner Jun 12, 2009 (4:12 am)
i have a 1994 camry V6, suddenly my car just started to give me problems with what i think is the transmission, or so i am told when i first leave in the car it does fine, but after i come to a stop my car acts like it cannot shift (struggles from 1 to 2 then goes on to 3 & 4 with no problem) and sometimes won't go at all. will go into drive and reverse i recently had the radiator replaced and then afterwards i had a day where hit was trying over heat again , thought maybe the water level was too low cause after we topped it off and got it to my mechanic , he could not find anything wrong at all and never did it again until this started to happen with my shifting issue. any suggestions, cannot get a computer on it to see if it throwing a code could it be related to the radiator issue or a sensor was told that i have 3 sensors that could be going bad as well but don't know which one to start with any help or suggestions are welcome!

Replying to: xbbuster (May 15, 2009 6:58 am) I had the same problem on my 2002 camry V6. Gear 1 and 2 hesitation. I also has this problem. When the transmission cold (e.g. at 15'C). It won't change gear at the first 1 km. And I had the dealer reflash the ECM computer doesn't solve the problem. My friend said it is comment on camry transmission.
#149 of 155 02 Camry V6 Trans hesitation by echo33 Jul 22, 2009 (9:14 am)
Month ago. I had the toyota dealer flush my car trans system. Now the hesitation problem occur. Dealer said nothing related to the flush it is my transmission failing.
#150 of 155 Hesitation by xbbuster Jul 23, 2009 (3:59 am)
Same problem.......... rapid hesitation, bucking. seems like the engine is just cutting out like it had bad plugs. Only after driving a 100 miles or so and only when decelerating from highway speeds or going down the slightest hill. No check engine light so the dealer says they can't do anything unless they drive it with a scanner. It has real good power and gets 30 mpg highway. I'm lost. Local dealer suggested next time we take a trip schedule an appointment with a dealer on the way so they could test it.

I have a 2005 Camry LE 4 cyl with 41000 miles and is still under PowerTrain Warranty. I am getting a gurgling noise like metal flowing thru liquid during low speed acceleration 2 to 10 MPH. It does not occur everytime. My engine oil level is reading high 1/2 inch above full mark. I am concerned about a transmission problem. Any comments.

Replying to: prob1 (Aug 18, 2009 10:50 am) Get that engine oil down to the correct maximum level.......... if there is too much oil the crankshaft can end up slapping it and foaming the oil up, and splashing it on the cylinder walls. Pull the drain plug and drain about a quart+ out. Drain more or refill as needed. This is assuming that someone overfilled the oil.   If the oil level was correct, and now it is high....I would suspect a blown head gasket, allowing radiator fluid to contaminate the oil. Get this looked at pronto.   Replies to this message: prob1 (Aug 20, 2009 10:43 am) kiawah (Aug 20, 2009 11:10 am) prob1 (Aug 20, 2009 5:25 pm)

Replying to: kiawah (Aug 18, 2009 4:36 pm) Thanks for your comments. I removed 1 1/2 pints of oil from the engine. The oil level is now at the full mark; not over. The noise is still there. The noise lasts for only a few seconds. It seems to occur when we need to accelerate; in the 0 to 10mph range. However, it is not consistent. Hard to take to a mechanic to solve the mystery if I can't duplicate it. Racking my brain trying to find a word that describes this noise accurately. Do you know of anything else that may cause a noise that sounds like metal traveling through liquid? Coincidentally, the noise started after my last oil change and I have 4200 miles on the oil.   Please advise.  . Replies to this message: kiawah (Aug 20, 2009 11:10 am) prob1 (Aug 20, 2009 5:25 pm)

Replying to: prob1 (Aug 20, 2009 10:43 am) Do you know what the sound of an engine knock is (cylinder detonation knock).....usually first noticed with a bad load of gas or low octane fuel? If so, does it sound like that? Replies to this message: prob1 (Aug 20, 2009 5:25 pm)

Replying to: kiawah (Aug 20, 2009 11:10 am) No,It does not sound like a engine knock. I know what a knock sounds like due to low octane gas. I am due for a oil change. I am going to report this problem to the Toyota Service Manager to get it on record. Thanks for your help.
