Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / December 2007auto transmission problem
i have a toyota corona AT170, 1991 model with automatic transmission. Around one year back, it had a problem where, when put to the reverse gear, took around one minute to actually move back. This was repaired by replacing some rubber rings and metal plates inside the gearbox. After this repair, the reverse problem was solved, but slippage between wheels and engine increased considerably. Now engine shows an RPM of around 2500 for low vehicle speeds like 20-30 km/h. Along with this, the fuel consumption has dropped significantly to around 5.5 Km per liter. does any one has an idea about the cause? if so, is it easily repairable or should i consider fitting a new gearbox? thanks you don't want to spend much on a 1991. isn't that getting pretty old. maybe if you can get a tranny from a auto wrecker for $200 or $300.00. Other that that I would just drive the to the wrecker and take the the $75.00 they likely would offer. Make some phone calls and see what you can come up with. I would say that if the total repair bill is going to over $500.00 then get another car. but i guess you can decide for yourself.

The car that sells at $8500 is probably not one with a bad transmission. --scott  Signature"C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis."

The last place didn't fix it by the sounds of it. Any warranty on the so called repair? If not find a better shop and get a real rebuild or find a runner and swap trannys. Here in Canada if any are even left on the road that old, they are $50.00 beaters, normally with a terminal case of rust. Over here once the warranty runs out, BMW's are junk because no one can afford to fix them so they sell really cheap too. $600.00 for a muffler that rots out every couple years gets hard to take... We just picked up an unusual one, a 1990 Cutlass Ciera in mint shape. My wife had to basically force the little old lady (a friend of hers from work) to take $100.00 for it, she would have been happy with the $50.00 the wrecker would give her.

I wonder what I could get for my 1992 Grand Am? It has has not had reverse for two years but otherwise is in great shape.
