Thanks for all your help, and for taking the time to explain all that to me - I appreciate it! I bought my Toyota Camry in 2003 of Jan. It has four forward speeds and was used primarily behind vehicles fitted with a V6 engine. No manual or online source that I could find had a picture of or even mentioned. But you probably got really good money for the job and right now you have an upset customer. He also said smoke is from head gasket seepage, and that all these camrys have stripped head bolts when they rebuild them. I owned a Subaru that lasted longer than this and it had more miles on it as well.
It has stranded him three times. Reverse and First gear should have anywhere from 160-200 psi and the rest of the gears should have pressure as well. I had problem with the transmission but when I take to the repair shop, always telling me there nothing wrong. The 1st and Reverse clutches are smoked out some and just about all material gone This rebuild has less than 200 miles on it. The onl fix is removal and disassembly of the transmission. Toyota A541E Valve Body Check Ball and Vibrating Stopper Locations This page contains information that I could not find anywhere - period.
I wonder if that was an early warning sign about the transmission issue. Since that is not happening, I would bet you have a control problem valve body. This diagram is actually pretty good, though. Try to have the valve in the position it likes to stick in. Anyway Dacco is also giving me a new kit for free as well!! The solenoid controlling the lock up clutch is wired through the brake light circuit. Return shipping is provided by Reman Transmission at no additional cost to the customer. I don't have the oil chart, but I can assume there are some bleed orifices in the 1st and reverse clutch circuit.
Have it towed to a trans shop because since the sun shell has separated from the sun gear the shell is turning and tearing up the inside of the transmission case. Idling in P 210 psi to 240 psi 2. I will not purchase another Toyota again. The valve could be stuck in its bore or the spring might be broken. The torque converter is frequently the culprit in this scenario.
After reassembling the transaxle with the vibrating stoppers and everything else in the correct locations this car shifts perfectly! Valve body gaskets for the A541E can be ordered separately only from Toyota - aftermarket gaskets are available only as part of a rebuild kit much more expensive. No engine rpm change in gear, no movement, nothing. . I hope these help you! The upper valve body in particular is different. Great care need to be taken when operating under load in reverse. A541E upper valve body - Most aftermarket manuals show A540E parts. Which makes no sense at all.
If you have employees on the road who are driving vehicles with this transmission, they better have , because they are going to be calling you for assistance. I still own this vehicle, however I purchased a new car which is a Nissan Maxima. I do it to them too. If the brakes came on while the clutch was on it would burn up the clutch. If the fluid in a transmission is not properly maintained, sludge will build up.
It was first put into production in 1994 and continued to be used through the 2003 model year. To better meet the repair challenges of increasingly sophisticated modern transmissions, Sonnax also offers premium. Let us know what happens. Place the plate on the flat surface of the valve train that is sticky, then strike it a few times with a small ball been hammer, just don't go all He Man with it. Usually, you don't have to mess with em too much, but we'll cross that bridge if need be later. Quote was given for a replacement I. Repair requires replacing the torque convertor and flushing the transmission fluid.
Like Eric said you will need to find out which tap in the case is the pressure tap and rent out a tester if you don't have one try autozone! Using appropriate spring compressor, compress return spring. And don't worry, it doesn't warp or distort the channels. I know that is extra expense and if it were your car and not your customers, I would suggest trying to clean it. It has four forward speeds, and was first introduced in 1989 and remained in production through the 1999 model year. Thanks transman and cigroller for your help on this! The magnet moves a plunger that is connected to a valve in the valve body and a spring is used to return it to its original position. The car also started making a whirring sound while driving in forward, which is slightly alarming. Find a good trans shop and get it towed.
I also tell and will tell others to buy something different. These were both popular cars in their time and Toyota sold a lot of them. I had to leave it in a parking lot and in the morning went to see how it was and me and a few friends got stuck in the middle of a huge intersection which was funny to me cuz i couldn't do anything but laugh cuz this was so ridiculous to me. This transaxle features a compact gear train that achieves eight speeds using a single axis allowing for input torque up to 430Nm. The red low battery light is tittering, like a light bulb with a bad connection. I do that on any valve body that is sticky or might even stick, and I hardly ever have one not free up for me.
With big regret I loved Toyota. At idle there should be some pressure. Coat threads of bolts with sealer. They did get me a rental today cuz i need a new transmission that will cost either used 1550 or new 5000. Please or to join the conversation. Those pressures are showing what it would be under a full stall. Last Friday the transmission went out basically with no warning this time and will need to be replaced.
