And as far as the plastic cages- as you serious????? I did not even know there is one. After removing the transmission from the car he informed me that the clutch was fine and the transmission was bad. I bought my 04 Matrix with 38,000 miles. I bought the Matrix in 2006 with only 36,000 kms on it. My mechanic ordered another rebuilt transmission, but it too had similar problems. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.
I have no data either way for deciding this. They didn't hear it, but recommended that I leave it for service. Also, why not the same problems in the Vibe? Considered it lucky that the transmission did not seize up in the middle of traffic and cause an accident. I wanted to get at least 300k out of this car but it's not looking good if I have to replace the trans every 80 to 90k. Did not see a torque rating for these plugs so just tightened them. At 50,000 I replaced the original tires. Dunno whether it's related or not, but my front left tire is wearing badly on the outer edge -- either a poor factory alignment something was improperly assembled at the factory.
Would love to hear any other ideas on this. Put the tire and lug nuts back on. Most cry manufacturing defect, as they have not found the root cause of the bearing failure. They then explained to me that this was a very common problem with this motor being the type that it was and what had happened is a rod in the engine had been spun. I have noticed another problem that appears to also involve the accelerator.
Parked the car and called aaa. I returned to the transmission shop to have the transmission work done and he replaced the bearings. Some owners on 9thgencorolla forum boards are on their 2nd or 3rd transaxles - others have gone 100s K miles with zero issues. He recommend I take it to a transmission place for a listen. I would love for this car to last me another year or 2.
I don't baby it by any means. Had also tried a suction pump but it was faulty and would not suck. Now with 135,000, the trans is making bearing noise again. Hope the darn thing lasts for the next +200,000k. Hopefully I will remember what to do next time.
Toyota will not fix the problem they do acknowledge it and that it exists, but will not do the repairs because of the price issue. Answered on Jan 16, 2018 Replacing the rotors is usually a good idea if you experience shimmying when braking. You could check on your battery to see if it is a maintenance free battery. Sound slowly become more pronounced, until it became a worry. He is also in a band.
He immediately identified it as a transmission bearing problem. Power and Associates® is a registered trademark of J. After driving twenty feet over the tracks, the vehicle would no longer shift into any selected gear and failed to respond to the contacts attempts to accelerate. I plan to change it every 30K from now on. He and others could have been killed. All warranty maintenance has been kept up to date on this vehicle at the right time.
If it still does it in spite of using this technique, then it is obviously something else. In January 2009, the engine dumped oil and burned out, and had to be replaced. I bought a Toyota for its supposed reliability. Car would not go into reverse. I did drain and refill with Redline at 80,000 miles.
About two days later the transmission fell apart. They said it could have been worse and I could have lost control and wrecked the car very easily. There are some 9th gen Corollas with bearing problems. I have never had that happen to me. It is recommend that you replace both the rotor and the brake pads at the same time. It is really a pretty quick job to undo the bolts and screws and to set the splash board aside.
Anyway, i went jiffy lube to get my ooil change and they said i should have my transmission oil flush as well since it was already dark brown. There are some 9th gen Corollas with bearing problems. This vehicle has a 5 speed manual transmission. Viscosity of the transmission oil is very very important. I drive it fairly hard and rev up to 8400 rpm fairly frequently. The contact was driving approximately 20 mph when he encountered a set of railroad tracks.
