I have a 2001 LE I never changed the Trans. fluid either. Of course my 2001 LE only has 47,000 miles on it. I was always under the impression that it's best not to do a total flush and refill, it was not good for the transmission. I always thought it's best to just drain and refill. But yes, I do suggest you do the drain and refill now with the mileage on that baby.

Please drain and refill. At 175,000 miles I think you are traveling on good will.

Who knows How many Qts. a Corolla 2003 takes for the transmission oil change
  The manual says 3 Qts. when I drained came out a lot more than that. So I call the dealer told me 5 to 6.
  My Haynes Repair Manual say's 3.2 Qts.

Corolla 2001 LE Transmission by anterazza

I was told to flush this transmission when I had an oil change. The vehical has 100,700 miles with no signs of transmission problem(s). The fluid was dark, not burnt. The last time it was changed was at 71,000 miles. Should I flush, or, just drain and replace. Also, should I have the transmission filter replaced if that is offered?

I have a 2001 LE with 48,000 mile on it. I'm due also. But I will not flush the trans. I will only drain and refill. I heard too many stories from people who had problems after flushing that never had problems before. I didn't know the trannys still had filters but if it does why not just drain, change filter and refill?

No, it doesn't sound like a transmission problem at all. Sounds more like a spark plug or wire problem. Whats happening is the car is not firing correctly on all four cylinders. When you reduce the gear ratio it makes it much easier for the car to pull because of the lower gearing. When was the last time the plugs were changed?

94 Corolla by middleburger

OK...here goes.......
 
94 Corolla, basic as basic can be. Automatic transmission. 278,000 miles.
 
Have replace both front axles already and it sounded like the CV axle had gone again so I went about changing it. As I am getting ready to put the new one in, I see something hanging in the female end of the transaxle casing. There was what looks like it used to be a very tightly wound spring that was just all mangled up hanging out of the hole.
 
Was worried about it but proceeded with putting the axle in. Got everything put back together but now have the same originating sound....a metal on metal sound while turning and sometimes even straight too...almost feels like gearwheel teeth are broken but at least on the side that I replaced i didn't feel anything.
 
Any ideas, folks?
