2007 Toyota Camry Altise Harsh Downshift

Recommended Posts

hi has anyone in oz experienced this problem or am i the only one?

my camry has 90xxx kms on the clock, when coming to a stop hits about 40kms and a sudden *****/thud from the gearbox(hence the harsh downshift)

i found a TBS in the US http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/skyvisions/2008-04-24_171056_08_camry_4_cylinde.pdf took it into a dealership and had the foreman took my car for a drive, and sure enough didnt do it for him sighhhhhh...

he assured me that i have nothing to worry about and that i should leave it, he also said because its a US bulletin it won't have any effect here, though he did say leave it with him and he will look into it.

really driving me bonkers, all it is is a fricken solenoid!!

just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this...if so what have you done?

mmm , well i notice if i brake and let go at a certain speed, the computer tends to downshift keeping it at a higher rpm.

is that what happens with you ?

Sometimes when i brake during gear changing time the computer is in two minds and the downshift happens but with a big "pull-back" for a noticable time. There is no thud sound though just a rev/exhaust sound.

Same here,no thud,just a studden high rev caused by downshift

That does happen to me too, but I guess it happens with most auto cars, sometimes you confuse the car by having accelerator in too much one sec then too little the next.

Na like i said I occasionally get a thump as I come to a stop happens around 40kms I can actually hear the coins in my tray rattle when it occurs, foreman at Toyota said to leave it lol.
