    major tranny problem

    hey guys, i messed up my rolla real bad trying to get upo my hill driveway that was covered in snow and ice. i noticed a problem when i started driving to school, that the car was shifting funny, long shifts and high rpms with little mph increases. so the check ewnginme light came oin and i pulled over and got the car towed to a dealership. i was nervous theyd question my magnaflow cat back exhaust or my aem cai but they didnjt, said they fixed the problem and 242 bucks later i have the same problem and toyota has my car again. now the car barely shifts gears, the rpms fly while i barely increase movement. what do u guys think it is and do u think theyll screw me on my warranty? thanks for ur help guys im depserate, my parents live across the counrty and dont know ive modded my rolla, especially since my pops is against it, so id like to hope i didnt void the warranty especially since the two mods dont effect the tranny

    they have to be able to prove this is causing the problem. If they can't their fish out of water. There is some law somewhere

    I just had my transimision replace under the warrenty. Mine had a totaly different thing but anyways here is the story. They looked at the car and didnt even say anything about CAI and other shit. Only thing was that after 3 days the guy called me and asked me if I changed the ecu, and are the wires under the hood, grounding wires. Funny thing is that they even put the grounding wires just as they were LOL.

    That kind of slipping is most often caused by low tranny fluid. Don't know what else it could be.
