Corolla Gs Automatic - Gearbox Slipping/stutters

Hi all,

I have a 1998 Toyota Corolla 1.6 GS Auto and until recently its been great. I have just started to find that when accelerating the automatic gearbox slips alot, at first it felt like a stutter but slipping is maybe a better description.

When revving the car in neutral the engine runs smooth and solid, but in gear, either (2nd) or (D) acceleration is no longer smooth and instead keeps slipping. Under hard acceleration, the car automatically drops down a gear and will accelerate smoothly, making me think the problem is primarily between 2-3k rpm.

Suggestions so far include changing the gearbox oil, and a full gearbox replacement.

Has anyone experienced similar issues or know if this is a common / easily solved problem with my model I would greatly appreciate it :)

Thanks all,

Joe

Checking / changing the oil would be a starting point, after that you really do need a specialist, automatic gearboxes are not really a DIY thing, you need to be able to check pressures and the like. Have you checked the oil?

Hi Kingo,

Thanks for the fast reply. I've spoken to a mate who suggested I start with the gearbox oil, he said its definitely worth doing as a first port of call. The engine oil is fine, but i'll check/replace the gearbox oil and report back.

Ta,

Joe
