Hey. Since I bought my 94 Celica GT about a year ago, I've been having a problem with the transmission.
Whenever my car is accelerating, it seems to stay a little too long in gear before shifting to the next gear. In other words, when I'm accelerating and my car's in first gear, it seems to shift into second gear a little too late, and as a result, it shifts pretty hard. This also happens when it shifts from second to third gear. I was hoping someone here might have an idea as to what the problem might be. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this. |

Take it to a tranny shop very soon. It could be as simple as the electronics scrweing up, but is sounds like you may have real problems.

Hey thanks for the reply.
I actually did take it to a transmission shop and I believe they replaced a solenoid in the transmission which doesn't seem to have fixed anything. Then I took it to a mechanic at a Toyota dealership, and he told me that the transmission needed to be replaced. I assume this is most likely what needs to be done, but I was hoping someone here might know how I could fix the problem without having to buy a whole new transmission. |

I had a tranny problem before, and all it came out to be is overflowed transmission fluid. It scared me alot though. When you know somethings wrong with your baby, you get really nervous. I'm sure alot of uyou are with me on this thought.

I have the same problem! Noooo! I can't afford a new tranny right now when I'm having fun modding it up! lol
Yeah, when I take my friend's out and we go racing and cruisin and stuff, I tromp on it pretty good....you know what I mean hard accellerating...and it shifts pretty hard into second...not so bad into third though. It actually does it always around 42mph and it just puts you back it shifts so hard into second....and then it's gets up and going and does it about half as bad when shifting to third at about 67. I don't know though, I'm thinking about having my tranny checked out as well as put in that Lucas Transmission Fix stuff....my work sells it and maybe it works. It's supposed to help on hard shifting...so we'll see. -------------------- 95 Toyota Celica GT

snadman, that sounds exactly like my transmission problem. Thanks for mentioning that transmission fix fluid. I'll definitely give it a try.
