QUOTE(defgeph @ Dec 7, 2005 - 10:06 AM) [snapback]364391[/snapback] your car should'nt have a clutch, its auto ? actually, autos do have clutches, auto clutches they are used in conjuction with the bands to lock/unlock certain parts of the planetary gearset to allow different gear ratios. obviously these werent what the mechanic was talking about since he thought it was a manual. the clutches in auto's do wear out obviously over time and can fail, especially if you drive agressively because the auto's computer will signal tranny to make harder/quicker shifts. i honestly dont know whats wrong with your car though without looking at it. hope you get it rolling soon though. --------------------  I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |

I guarentee you 100% that the shop you took it to is lying because its definately a CV shaft problem. If you do it yourself it will onyl cost about 60 bucks because there is a core charge and you can get some money back. Thats if you do it yourself. If a shop does it then your looking at around 250.

You're right hitachi, when they actually went under the car, they notice that it wasn't the tranny it was the wheel bearing and the axle and yes it did cost about 250. Very good...

QUOTE(creis @ Dec 15, 2005 - 2:16 AM) [snapback]367474[/snapback] 180k ish is pretty good milage on a tranny. For any othe car, that's outstanding. For a toyota, it's ok. Mine went about 240k miles before I had to swap it out, and it wasn't because of a mechanical failure or anything. A nut inside the transmission had backed itself off and did some damage inside, thats all. Don't get me wrong, 180k miles on a transmission IS really awesome, but owning a toyota, the standards are a bit higher  Nevertheless, good luck with the car!-Josh |

QUOTE(Chanh55 @ Dec 7, 2005 - 8:41 PM) [snapback]364581[/snapback] Loud painful grinding. erm... a failed auto tranny should just make a hellacious whining noise and fail to engage into any gear. Grinding would be a metal/mechanical/axle problem. -------------------- 1995 Celica ST - Riceball grocery getter. I saved her from Neons, 19" rims and TVs.
