Replying to: backy (Aug 30, 2007 7:53 pm) Ahh! Thanks for the tip. I haven't thought of checking there yet. My engine light may have indicated this had it not already been on regarding my catalytic converter...
#4 of 53 Problems when my car shifts gears. by scottevil907 Sep 20, 2007 (11:08 am)
Ok so my car has a problem when its shifting gears. Its a 2006 automatic, only about 15000 miles into the car, every tune up and oil change on time. I dont drive the car, its my wifes. so i dont know how this happened. but when i drove it i noticed this problem.   As soon as it shifts from first to second there is a pause, then it kicks in... just the same in the other gears, but not as noticable. now iv looked under the car and i dont see any leaks. my next step is to check the level of the fluids. Any help or ideas too why my car is pausing and kicking into gears like it is would be great.   Scott Replies to this message: irismg (Jan 22, 2008 1:04 pm)

I have a 2001 Toyota Corolla with 79K miles. I purchased the car new and have had the manual transaxle fluid replaced twice since owning the car. Recently, the car has begun making a clicking sound in 2nd gear and higher. The noise is not noticeable in 1st gear or neutral. But is a continuos clicking sound that is consistent with the engine speed in 2nd gear and higher. I was unable to identify the location of the sound so I brought to a trusted mechanic. He put the car on the lift and said the sound is coming from inside of the transmission. He showed me how the right front accel has "too much play in it". He also said that the problem may be related to the differential but that in my my model the differential is combined with the transmission so it's the same work required, replacing the transmission. I wanted to hear your thoughts on whether there are other "less expensive" possiblities as to what is causing the noise and not require replacing a transmission prematurely.

Replying to: scottevil907 (Sep 20, 2007 11:08 am) That's similar to what my old-timer is doing, except when it's low on fluid, it has trouble downshifting to first or upshifting from first; unlike yours, it doesn't affect the higher gears. A dipstick check could tell the tale, but you may just have to let a Toyota mechanic diagnose it for you. And I know what a hassle that can be!
#8 of 53 Noise at low speed by raye5 Mar 04, 2008 (6:08 pm)
1998 Corolla with 55k miles met an Acura while moving forward out of a parking space. Damage to front left bumper, lights and hood ajar. Car spun 180 degrees to the right on impact with side door of moving Acura. Corolla exhibits a new noise (rumble) when going forward only at low speed. Its an automatic but the noise is at the equivelent of low gear maybe up to 15 miles per hour. It this a transmission problem or other. Thanks Replies to this message: pengwin (Mar 04, 2008 9:18 pm)

Replying to: raye5 (Mar 04, 2008 6:08 pm) i dunno, might just be a crooked frame or wheel, sounds like your car got hit pretty hard.

#11 of 53 2008 Corolla stops on highway by alives Apr 11, 2008 (9:52 pm)
Today as I was driving downhill on a very busy highway, my new 2008 Corolla (1000 miles as of today) just stopped. The engine was running, but there was no power. It was only a miracle I wasn't killed in the approximately three blocks it took to get off the road at 5 miles per hour with trucks coming up behind me at 70!!   After waiting for the police for an hour, I started the car again, and was able to drive it (with escort) to the dealer. They checked it out and could find no reason this would have happened. I had to drive it 70 miles home on the freeway wondering if this would happen again -- or when it will happen again. Has anyone else had this problem? Replies to this message: whcc90069 (Apr 14, 2008 12:04 pm) busiris (Apr 14, 2008 7:36 pm)

Replying to: alives (Apr 11, 2008 9:52 pm) that's quite an interesting event. i wonder if gm/pontiac did any work on the transmission. if they did, then it doesn't surprise me that you had this problem.   afterall, gm/pontiac worked on the power windows for the vibe/matrix and corollas. of course, they screwed it up and those cars are/were being recalled to have the power windows fixed.   i'm a huge fan of toyota as well as honda. but, if toyota keeps collaborating with american auto companies, then their products will continue to have problems and then i'll end up buying a honda civic rather than a toyota corolla.
