Engine problem downshifting

Yea, its called a automatic transmission. I have the same prob sometimes

yea there are days where mines run fine and then other days it acts strange

umm its all done by the rpms of the engine. u also have to consider ur speed, incline, what accesories you are using, and some other things. just depends

Like I said its Yea, its called a automatic transmission. They can be really moody

heheh....U are going to kill the transmission....That is going to suck...hehehe

Corollas should've came with the ECT power button. It would've taken away all those downshifting headaches.

Just drop it manually if you want.

i hav the same problem... stupid tranny is moody... i found that when the tranny is cold it shifts better than when its warm probably thats y it doesn't want to shift down sometimes... another thing that i found... is if u hav a 3speed auto u could be in the wrong rpm in the wrong time... like around 60km/h and the car is kinda in high rpm for it to go lower gear and too low rpm to get the car to pick up speed... sux to hav auto AND 3 SPEED... what was toyota thinkin???

Toyota probably thought at the time that a 3 speed was enough and a 4th wasn't necessary.

Yeah...Do this and then start saving your money for transmission work

LOL, I dont know about that, I've got 50,00 hard miles on my tranny and it shifts fine

if it does not want to downshift by itself i would not recommend doing it manually.

you could always adjust the tv cable

Tighten the kickdown cable so that it downshifts sooner. I have a DIY on it. http://vamp.darkravers.net/DIYAdjustingDownShift.cfm
