    If the torque converter doesn't lock up then you can also get some overheating at high speed. All the energy lost to slippage ends up being converted into heat and over time that can cause problems.

    Never buy a car with this problem. I have a very similar problem on my car. I was told by a dealer that I would get worse gas mileage, Just replace the broken part and the car would be great. Now I have an 05 Camry with 160000 miles and a dead transmission after 2 months of ownership. The mechanic told me that this issue tends to cause overheating in the transmission at higher speeds, so the previous owner probably drove a lot on the highway and caused a lot of damage before it was sold to me. If you have this problem, just stay off the highway, not necessarily the end of the car. But if your thinking of buying a car with that problem, then just run. You have no idea how many times it was driven on freeways.

      Sorry to hear that about your camry that really sucks man. I bought an 03’ Corolla at 70k, and at 100k I had the torque converter shudder in 3rd gear between 40-45 mph, and the rpms are higher than normal on the highway once I go over 65mph. If I go 75 I’m around 3100 rpm. For almost 6 years I’ve been staying in 3rd gear longer to avoid the shudder, and rarely going over 65mph. Also done 5 atf drain and refills since I bought it, no metal in the fluid. Hasn’t gotten any worse in 6 years, at 220k now and still shifts great. If you baby it, it can last a really long time. Previous owner of yours probably drove it a lot the highway at high rpms and overheated it too often.

    0:44 = that model year of Corolla almost always has the flange joint cracking off, just where the muffler connects to the rest of the exhaust tubing. That's what's causing the loud exhaust. The fix for that is to just buy 3 rolls of high-temperature epoxy bandage and wrap that stuff around the broken pipe/flange. The epoxy bandage will last 10+ years, but the welded-on replacement flange that muffler shops use only lasts 3 years before it rusts off.

    Hey, an all transmission video! Back in 1967 or so, the torque converter in my Dad's '58 Chevrolet started growling, and he was told how much it would cost to replace. He didn't want to put that much money in the car, so he added a little STP to the trans fluid. He thought that it may quiet the noise some, and take up some of the wear that is causing the noise. It worked, and he sold the car about a year later. It still growled, but it still drove fine. In that year with the STP in the transmission he still drove it every weekend between San Bernardino and San Diego, about 200 miles round trip on the highway.

      That's what I love about GM products. They're simple. Back in 1996, the neutral safety switch on the clutch petal of my 1983 Chevy started slipping. One day, it just wouldn't work. I just cut the switch out, wrapped the wires together, and wrapped them with electrical tape, and I wasn't even late for work. When something goes wrong with a Toyota or Honda, well, it's good if you're getting paid by the hour to fix it.

    I sold the 04 because I didn’t want to put in a new intake manifold, bought an 07 with low milage and it’s great! The 07s have a recall for the wrong sticker being put on the cars, that’s most likely why it has a V6 sticker under the hood!

    It"s kind of funny that some manufactures don't want people to service the trans filters, it feels like they want to fail. It happed to my brothers 2011 Honda Accord, I went to the dealer to get fluids and some other hardware to service the transmission, to my surprise the parts guy had no idea there was a trans filter because the service manual does mentioned at all. Good thing I did it because it was in rough shape and dirty. Moral of the history always change your Transmission oil and filter

    Brake rotors and drums are almost always GI 35 or close to it, not steel. Gray iron is self lubricating and short-chipping. It wears cleaner and cooler and the iron comes off in dust instead of compressing and getting hard or pilling up like a sweater when rubbed. Grey iron is stable and less prone to warpage. If you used steel you would have all sorts of issues.

    2005 Toyota, outside looked pretty abused with 225,000 and the blue paint gone, it was a 'rusty" top but the mechanic that last inspected said it was the best maintained old corolla he had ever run across. Unfortunately a week later it was totalled with driver side door damage (other guys fault that required a door replacement). The insurance company would not fix it because their shop refused to not repair the paint and a slight dent in the rear bumper. As it was they gave me a good total on it, but I quickly learned why as used car prices were soaring..fortunately got a break and got a nice 2014 Corolla way to cheap...family deal. . Hopefully the old girl has a new owner (a mech could easily fix the door) and has not been scrapped because she was a runner.

    Recently I asked the Nissan dealer to change the CVT oil (Xtrail T32) and they kindly grant my request to watch the oil change process on their shop floor. The car is 5 years old and the odometer is only 30km, but I want to be proactive knowing that the CVT is a prone part on many of the new Nissan. I already look at the service manual so I know something about servicing this CVT. The standard CVT oil change did not involved changing the filter - I had to request it. Also they did not drop the oil pan to clean the debris magnet. So it is not a specific Honda "problem".

    • @mooglemy3813
      @mooglemy3813 Před 2 lety

      Honda automatics have never had a servicable filter since day 1. They made their own ATs and were different to GMs with no planetary gears till now (9 &10 speed ZF made in Georgia by Honda) or a filter that required changing. It was fluid only changes. A permanent magnet in the housing catches fine metal particulate from gear lash. They added an external filter that was not used for recommended service but rather at an overhaul. Then they put a filter in the transmission that is only changed if you overhaul it.
      You want to keep your honda automatic healthy. Do a complete ATF fluid change using Honda fluid.
      I change mine on my Odyssey after 15,000 miles. 2016 takes 12 quarts. I tow about 3000 miles a year to FL and back and don't let the fluid get dirty ot tired ever. Dealer changeed ATF is at 30,000 miles and that's partial only.
