#86 of 155 Re: Camry transmission cooler/Tranny lines [loucapri] by bildow Sep 24, 2006 (8:21 am)
Replying to: loucapri (Jun 29, 2005 6:47 am) I put tranny coolers on all my cars including the 2006 camry and 2000 Lexus I live in southern California and I am a salesman and I drive in bumper to bumper all the time I also use synthetic trans fluid in both cars using Amsoil due to the type of transmission fluid that toyota/lexus uses. They use a type 4 trans fluid so Amsoil says their oil in compatible so far no problems. My toyota cressida using a transmission like the lexus and toyota truck ran 385,000 miles on the same trans using mobil one tranny fluid due to the older cars could run the dexron 3 from 2002 the camry runs type 4 fluid you can also buy it from the dealer and change it your self just use the drain plug in the tranny and I change all my tranny fluids at 20,000 and synthetic fluid is supposed to run 50-100,000 miles I also change my power steering fluid with synthetic tranny fluid at 20,000 miles for the engine I use mobil one 5-30 getting 200,000 to 400,000 miles on the engine use synthetic oil in cold weather it will go down below 0 and still work.

I own a 1994 4 cyl LE. Recently, the transmission has been hesitant to shift into high gear until the car has been running for a while, espescially when it is cold. I sometimes have to drive 8-10 miles before it shifts into high gear. The trans fluid level is good. What could be the problem? Replies to this message: ray_h1 (Jan 13, 2007 2:24 pm)

#89 of 155 1993 Camry SE V6 lots of problems! by mamap Jan 17, 2007 (8:03 am)
Can anyone tell me what's going on here?   First: The speedometer/odometer cut out and works only sporadically Second: The car began to stall at stops RPMs drop sometimes while still stopping, other times once stopped or in park Then: Had my husband change spark plugs and problem stopped for a few days then came back and.. Finally: Transmission does not always shift while accelerating. For insatance-was doing 15mph at over 3kRPMs.   All of these things happened within about a week of each other. I had my transmission fluid replaced and a leak repaired at the end of November.   Thanks for your help!

When the car is cold, I can't get it into gear until the engine warms. Even when I warm it up for about 15 minutes, when I put it into drive, there is another 1-2 minute wait until it engages. Once engaged, the gears run smoothly, and for the rest of the day, the car is fine, even after repeated stops to various stores. I was thinking about changing the oil and filter, but the tranny has not been serviced for a long time, and I'm afraid I could make it worse. Replies to this message: 210delray (Feb 17, 2007 7:40 pm)

Replying to: vicu (Feb 17, 2007 3:21 am) Sounds like you need to get the transmission looked at pronto, by a reputable shop. Get recommendations from friends, relatives or co-workers. You don't have to go to a Toyota dealer.   If you know how to check the tranny fluid level, you may at least want to do this first.
#92 of 155 2000 Camry transmission problem? by luigi2025 Mar 12, 2007 (6:25 pm)
I've had my 2000camry LE, V6 since new. I only have 50,000 miles on it. Two months ago when driving in rush hour, stop and go, freeway traffic the car started kicking whenever I took my foot off the gas. Happened most often if I was accelerating and then had to lift my foot off gas to put on break. I'd get a slight bucking, and thump-thud noise. It got progressively worse and I took to the dealer. They replaced the bone joint and motor mount. I picked it up and drove it and no change to the problem. I had to drive with the technician because they were testing it in straight freeway driving and the problem was not occuring. I had them simulate stop and go traffic and then they felt it. Said it needed a new transmission. They put in a whole new transmission--no change to the problem. I took it back and they said it was a problem with the throttle cable. Tightened that. I drove it today and now it's worse. Not only happens when I take my foot off gas but now sometimes happens when it's shifting gears. It's much worse when the car is driving between 40 and 50mph. I took it back and they say there is nothing wrong with it. HELP! (My husband said he thought it was the U joints but the Toyota people say this car doesn't have U joints.) Thanks for any help you can give. I'm frustrated and it's an uncomfortable ride but I can't afford a new car right now. Replies to this message: agellius3 (Mar 14, 2007 1:44 pm)

Replying to: luigi2025 (Mar 12, 2007 6:25 pm) I'm no expert, but just a shot in the dark: Years ago I had a problem that sounds similar to yours, with bucking and hesitation. It turned out to be a dirty fuel filter. Hard to believe they would not have thought of that, however it's a cheap repair so it might not hurt to try it.
#94 of 155 Camry 1991 transmission oil by jophil28 Aug 11, 2007 (7:48 pm)
I am planning to attempt to change the transmission oil. I have an engineering background and a garage full of tools. SO what type of fluid do I buy for that model/ vintage. What else do I need to do or replace. This is our 'standby vehicle' and the fluid is VERY brown and the vehicle has started jumping out of gearoccasionally..The transmission has also been OVER filled. Any assistance greatly appreciated.- Thanks , John.
#95 of 155 '98 Lexus ES300 rough shift problem by sean300 Aug 13, 2007 (9:39 pm)
I know that this is the Camry transmission questions section but no one seems to be answering my question in the "Transmission Trauma" section. I have a '98 Lexus ES300 with 152k miles. About two weeks ago when the engine wasn't quite warm I got a hard shift and a thump when shifting from park to reverse. When the car warms up it disappears and shifts fine. Anyone experience this. The last time that I changed the tranny oil was 137k miles. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Replies to this message: wwest (Aug 14, 2007 7:26 am)
