Toyota corolla seca gearbox problem


Recommended Posts

Hello. I have a 1994 Toyota Corolla seca Hatchback automatic. It's basically a nice car but from dead cold it seems to take about 10klm before it drops into drive from the overdrive gear. It's definitely not running in 2nd gear and then drops into drive. I'm sure it's the overdrive gear. Any suggestions. Thanks

The first thing id do is take it to a transmission place or drop the oil yourself and put new stuff through it ... a trans place will quickly tell you what the go is with it.

Doesn't make sense? Overdrive in a 4-speed auto is 4th gear, so it is strange that it would be in 4th when cold. Drive isn't technically a "gear" either but rather allows the gearbox to select any gear, so it can't drop "into" Drive from 4th/OD - the gear selector will be in the "D" slot but the auto can actually be in 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th depending on road speed and engine load.

Maybe you're thinking that the transmission isn't dropping into OD/4th from 3rd when cold? If so then it is completely normal, a lot of 90s transmissions prevent the gearbox from selecting 4th/OD when the engine is cold, even if the OD button is pressed in, as it prevents the engine from being loaded up in too tall a gear whilst still cold (and also helps with warm-up times).
