Good day all. My Toyota Camry 2003 2AZ FE automatic transmission is kinda having issues. Very early in the morning if I start d car and put it on reverse it goes in smoothly but when I put it on drive it does not engage quickly. From my little observation it happens when car is cold or left for some time. Check transmission fluid and its up to required mark. Transmission is still bright red to pink in colour and no traves of dirt or metal on clean white surface. . It normally happens when th car is cool. Happened again this afternoon. Had to put it on drive and rev the car before it picked but reverse is excellent. I scanned car and got no DTC at all. Wanna do a transmission flush with Atf type T IV and see if they will be an improvement. Also will see if I can replace the filter. Guys pls I need suggestions . thanks all. God bless

Does the car shift through all gears (1-5)?
What type of scan tool was used?
Was a actual values used to monitor transmission performance?
When last did you do your transmission service?

Using type IV transmission fluid at this junction might make no difference.

GAZZUZZ:


Just replace filter, filter is located under the oil pan. Car should be ok after that.

mike070:


So Gazzuzz u advice I replace transmission filter only?? Any need to service the transmission ?? Thanks I'm really grateful.

GAZZUZZ:


what are you servicing in the transmission? Replace oil with TIV and filter.

Since the ATF is still good according to him, there wont be any need to replace it. I have never seen clogged filter delay engagement cold, but stuff happen.

My take is sticking valve(s).

@mike070, you may check the filter, but leave the ATF. Times are hard! How does it engage in L1?

GAZZUZZ:


my assumption, he has the wrong oil installed already.

Hello all. Sorry for the long delay. Was out of town. So I changed the gear oil with type t iv and also installed a new filter. The problem still persists. Gear does not move when engine is cold but reverse moves whether hot or cold. Scanned car again and no DTC codes pointing to transmission. Only have p1135 and p1346 and I've been trying to fix these codes all to no avail. Pls Gazzuzz nd all kindly assist me cos I'm confused. Nb wen gear moves it moves very fine. Even did 140 with it on Friday on my way to warri. I need answers. Thanks all

P1346- VVTI fault error. Check the variable valve timing solenoid. It located close to the firewall. The solenoid might be bad. Connection might be loosed. Was there any engine timing related job done prior this problem. You could also have sludge mounted all over the solenoid

GAZZUZZ:




kashif called it.

I was wrong (if you did every thing right)

GAZZUZZ:


You should read the book from the beginning.

mike070:



Pls Gazzuzz nd kashif and mayor wat do I do. How do I go about d sticking valve issue. Its so surprising it just started out of the blues.

Kashif:


Oga, if to say you give me that oyel money make I take buy baby food, you no see say I for dey jolly now? Ask around your area for a transmission technician, and tell him you need your valvebody serviced.

Caveat emptor!

mayor2013:

Change it and d problem will still persist. Car still moves pretty fine except d delay in D when car is started in d morning also when car cools for a long period of time. Still scanned but no transmission error code found.
