Car Forum / Toyota / Camry / May 2008'95 Camry Four Automatic: Reverse Not Engaging Fully
I haven't looked at the car myself yet, but I sleep days, and will check it this evening. My housemate tells me that when she put the car into Reverse yesterday, it made a clicking noise, and felt like the parking brake was on (it wasn't). She says it was reluctant to move in Reverse. Drive was normal. Any ideas? Preferably by a tech or experienced mechanic?

My old camry did that once when 10f, I changed the oil and filter and its been fine since Mine had a blockage of dirt and the level went so high it smoked after not moving in reverse, Changing it is the only cheap option. > On Apr 27, 3:41 am, "mjc13<REMOVETHIS>" > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Mine had a blockage of dirt and the level went so high it smoked after > not moving in reverse, Changing it is the only cheap option. I drove the car just now and there was no sign of trouble. I'm guessing that she either mistook water in the car and a misfiring engine for a balky transmission, or it was a piece of dirt somewhere in the trans, although we have kept up with fluid changes and flushes. A strainer change every 12-15K miles should help. Flushing or drain/ refill isn't going to clean the strainer or the pan for you.

I don't think it was the transmission - I think it had water in the gas. I'll maybe never know for sure, though. > On Apr 27, 1:41 am, "mjc13<REMOVETHIS>" > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >>Reverse.

If the car was trying to MOVE in R, then maybe binding brakes/return spring? Otherwise the engine will just rev with higher RPM if clutch packs/brake bands don't engage.

At least I hope so. At any rate, it hasn't done it again. > On May 3, 11:25 pm, "mjc13<REMOVETHIS>" > >> We have the strainer replaced with drain/refills.
