Transmission problems

Doesn't the line pressure solenoid sound like it would likely be more of the problem?

Saturntech9: Is the code scanner mentioned before, the correct scanner to find these so called soft codes? Or would I need a better one? I am not getting a check engine light.

Thanks for all your replies

I have a 1994 toyota Camry with Auto Transmission.

Initialy when start to drive will not shift from 1st to 2nd. But when letting off the accelerator it will shift to 2nd. As the car gains momentum it will shift into higher gears.

This Camry has also very high vibrations at idel speed, which I am not sure if it has anything to do with the current problem. Would anyone be able to give some input on this?

With Regards

Thank you very much for the response. What does "VSS" stand for and please let me know where it is located at.

Best Regards

I have a 1995 camry, 200,000 miles. All at once it started running weak and trans wont shift up unless I let up on the gas peddle and allow it to shift before I press the peddle again. It almost acts as if some thing is holding the motor back. All of the gears work, brakes are not dragging and it down shifts fine. Motor starts and idles as if nothing is wrong, no exhaust smoke, tranny fluid looks good, not losing any fluids.I am wondering if the 2 problems are related.

I'm looking at purchasing a 1989 camry, it has 164,000 miles and has been owned by a mechanic the last ten years. Everything seems great about the car except that it doesn't shift into second gear when going up hill. It will shift up normally on the flat or downhill but skips second and goes to drive when accelerating uphill. The owner says that his wife just manuallly puts it into second and its fine but even without a tach I could tell this does not work either mostly because of the severe lack of power. I don't want to purchase if this could be something major. It is also the 2.0L four cylinder, which means hills can become very hard to overcome with no second gear.

1992 Toyota Camry, A540E automatic transmission. I have had my transmission rebuilt and I believe they didn't put in the right transmission. I am an auto mechanic and need to know how I can identify if the A540E, which should be original equipment in the car, is there after it was rebuilt. I took the car back because it is not shifting from first to second gear after being driven for about an hour. I just took it to another branch of the same transmission repair facility and they said it was fine. They adjusted the kick down cable (HA HA) but it didn't make a difference.

Get your VIN number (Vehicle Identification Number) located by the windshield of your car or on your registration certificate and then call a Toyota dealer and he/she can tell you which model of transmission that should be in your car. Then purchase a transmission pan gasket for the model they tell you should be in your car and see if it matches the transmission pan in your car. If it does, you have the right transmission.
