Engine Help Help Help!!!!! Tranny Is Dead

You can swap the 3-speed in and it will work, but the ecu will throw a check engine light. Also the plug on the tranny for the wiring may be different.

sounds like the torque converter went out. maybe you could get awat with just changing that?

Help Help Help!!!!! Tranny Is Dead

my fucking transmission went out bout 30 minutes ago isnt that just cute g*d damnit the bastard will not grab any gear period it tries to go if it is in D it will either rev all the way out or half ass grab about 2500 rpms but then it still barely moves the car i have the 4 speed auto. My question is i have another corolla at the crib with a 3 speed auto tranny in it that should bolt up but will my ecu work with it correctly and if so how hard is it to drop the tranny???
please someone with some knowledge about this respond ASAP!!!! im supposed to be moving outta my apartment this weekend and i want to have my ride up and running. so yeah someone please let me know if the swap will work and how hard is it....
thank you
oh yeah both corolla's are 1998 1zz-fe

the easiest way to do the tranny swap is pluck the engine outta the bay . if you dont have the facilitys to do this , youre askin for headache and trouble. are the engines the same between youre 2 rolla's. should be pretty direct , but look under and around youre car and do a double check for yourself . sure its not the TC? if not , why dont you just save yourself the trouble in the future , and drop in the 5-speed ? where you doin any rash driving when you discovered the problem , have you checked youre tranny fluid?

if you do a bit of competative driving , i would go for the 5-speed replacement.

My friend said working on the transmission on 1ZZ sux. It took him like 11hrs to take it out and put it back.
He's a mechanic and he just changed the clutch and flywheel for a his friend's 1ZZ celica . He said he will never do it again. It's just so troublesome.

hmm you say maybe just the torque converter i can just swap that off the 3 speed right??? that would be the shit well im gonna tear it down today to start workin on it
anymore ideas let me know

BTW thanks for the help so far guys
