A lot or people say this is a great video however, I can't confidently take out and replace a transmission with this video personally. Never done it before so I'm gonna find the more detailed videos you mentioned with the multi-part series with videos lasting 30 minutes or more. That should give me the details on all this especially since I've never done it before. You are absolutely correct when you stated "if someone else can do it, so can you". That I wholeheartedly agree on. Thank you for uploading and sharing.
Exactly what I was looking for. Mines a manual but basic idea is the same great video!
The vehicle I worked on was not as rusty, but good video thank you for the help!
You’re welcome thanks for the The message in the kind words welcome to the channel
Looks like you know what you are doing. Great video. First time working on one of these so great help.
Thank you very much but I’ve been working on cars for over 15 years as a profession and still don’t know anything LOL but I try most the time it’s the first time I have ever done it
Damn it’s that easy wow I need my transmission swapped out any takers Denver Colorado
Man I got my transmission taken out and I watched them take it apart. If I had the tools I could of did it myself. The issue was two leaks causing one set of clutch rings to burn loosing friction.
Now they're trying to get me to spend 4000 on a complete rebuild when only that is damaged.
Well that would be a big waste of money because they used one is only about three to $500 and I’m not kidding if you need me to tell you where one is that send me your ZIP Code and I will tell you one near you. I wouldn’t in 1 million years do that roll the dice put a used one in there they’re not that bad they’re usually pretty good transmissions
@@sharpcarco Thanks for the tip I was looking them up. My car is a 2004 Toyota Corolla and even a brand new transmission is much cheaper.
You don’t need a new one , they are generally very good , that is why used are so cheap ... if they went out all the time used ones would be much more
@@sharpcarco Am I able to message you pictures of the recommended maintenance/damage report and pictures of the parts?
@@sharpcarco I need one for a 2003. Zip code is 55812
Im doing one now (2010) and by pro-demand youre supposed to lift the engine and transmission out together. I was hoping itd just come down. Thank you for the confirmation!
Good video bro ,,
Good video, thanks for making a overview video that covers the questions that matter. All I wanted to know was if I could pull the tranny and leave the motor hanging, did I need to pull the subframe, was there any weird twisting or angles needed to get the tranny out, etc. I didn't need a video showing me where every bell housing bolt was or that I need to disconnect the shift cable and wiring connections....I know that stuff, it's the same with ANY tranny R&R, I just wanted Corolla specific coverage and you did it. Thanks again.
When I first started reading this Steve I thought it was going in a different direction LOL sometimes the videos don’t turn out the way I want them to but there still some value in them so I go ahead and throw them up anyways thank you for the kind words I’m glad it was helpful for you
@@sharpcarco I've got an 02 in the shop right now I'm pulling the trans on. Couple other videos say you need to pull the radiator, intake manifold, and sub-frame. Doesn't look like you had to do ANY of that! Very nice vid! Shows what I needed to know. Let ya know how it turns out. Did you get your trans locally?
Great Video, but you did not video quickly about the torqu converter bolts. Most of us dont have big shot lifts.
Thank you
That was great. Thanks
So, from your video if I understand correctly, this transmission can be removed from below without pulling the engine. If so, i has the engine support tool for up top. Can this be done without removing the sub frame? Great video by the way. I saw the several part video you spoke of. Too over the top.
Where can you find transmissions for these near 93727? Would you happen to know? And thank you
Look on car-part.Com all reputable recyclers have to pay to be on it so it’s the best place to search for stuff like that
@@sharpcarco thanks brother you’re an mvp
This is a good video, bud. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
You said the tranny itself is pretty light. What do you ballpark the weight at? Any guess?
Hmmmm I wouldn’t think any more than maybe 150 pounds that’s obviously just a guess but I remember it being really light. I’m a sissy and I could pick it up by myself I don’t know if I would necessarily take all the bolts loose and have the possibility of it falling on me just because I honestly can’t remember
@@sharpcarco Thanks man!
Hey man! Great video! I know it’s an old video but I was wondering, I went ahead and bought wheel bearings for my Corolla, big wobble sound I figured, ended up being inner axle wobble which I read was “differential bearings” within the transmission. Do most mechanical work, never inner transmission work,
Wondering if those are replaceable (have not seen any info on it) or even worth replacing, or going ahead and replacing the transmission is necessary. I live in San Diego CA transmission is probably about $600 just for the transmission.
Any help appreciated thanks!
Is there any secret to getting the axles out? I’m struggling a lot with these. Muscled off the passenger side one and thought the drivers’ side would be easy, but it’s stuck on something. Thanks for the help!
Well we always take a prybar , a large one And give it a sharp push so it pops it out sometimes they are extremely difficult and get stuck inside there but they do pop out the real secret is the patients do you want to make sure that the axle is straight so it’s best to have an assistant hold the axle as well when you’re trying to pop it out
Thanks, Clay! Unfortunately, I’m having trouble overcoming the retention ring. Any tips aside from Crow bar? Slide hammer?
@@sarabeck7203 i AM SURE IT IS SOLVED BY NOW, BUT FOR NEXT TIME; MUST PRY BOTH SIDES EVENLY, IF YOUR PRYING ONE SIDE OFTEN IT WILL JAM.
I normally have leverage on my side because I’ve got it on a lift and I can get it from underneath so I just pop it with a hammer once and it comes right out but you are correct for sure that’s difficult to convey that you have to keep it even and somewhat square when removing it
i used a 1"ink dog choker chain around collar before input and a slide hammer they pull out every time on stubborn ones
I've owned a 1998 Chevy Prizm for about 16 years. After 140,000 miles, it suffered a broken cv axle. It was replaced and it fell out after a few months. The car wouldn't move in any gear, but it was fixed after the CV axle was popped back in. A month later, it refuses to move. The CV axle seems fine and in place. I towed it to a trusted shop and I'm waiting for the call to find out how much it's going to cost this time. I'm hoping for a broken speed sensor or an issue with the fluid. If it's catastrophic, I might decide to swap the transmission myself. It's worth a shot. The shop quoted me at $1,500 for a transmission replacemt including parts and labor. It sucks, but at the end of the day, it can be fixed or replaced. Do you think anyone with basic mechanical experience can tackle this job? If it was a piece of junk, beat up car I'd just sell it for parts. But the car has great paint and looks great for its age. So, I'm trying to keep it running. It's my little brother's car. We'll see what happens. I'll provide an update soon. Wish me good fortune, ya'll. Thanks.
Good morning Louis. First off I would be very surprised if that transmission went bad. It is a good possibility that the first time the CV axle was installed incorrectly and that is why it popped out which is why your transmission could possibly be bad today because it sheared the end of the axle off inside the transmission I’ve seen this happen once or twice in my 20 years of experience
I certainly hope that’s not the case
I do believe that somebody with limited mechanical experience could change this particular transmission because it’s actually really simple and I think it’s awesome that you were considering doing it.
I looked up the transmissionsfor your vehicle I need one more piece of information I would need to know if it’s a three or four speed? If it’s a four-speed it’s about $200 for a used transmission which means they don’t go bad very often. If it’s a three speed it’s about anywhere from $500-$700 for a used transmission and if you send me your ZIP Code I can tell you exactly which junkyards near you have them or at least lead you in the direction to call them yourself.
I hope it’s not a bad transmission and I wish you the best of luck but always remember if anyone else can do it you can do it to. Have the best of days God bless
@@sharpcarco Thanks for the tips. You're spot on with your suspicion that the end of the axle sheared off. That's exactly what happened when the axle popped off. But the shop replaced the axle and it was fine for almost a month. They were able to find the clip and removed it from the differential. But the little piece that broke off may have fallen into the transmission and settled on the pan, according to the mechanic. The transmission is a 3-speed automatic. My zip code is 92835.
You will have to get a hold of me on Clays AC and auto repair on the Facebook and send me a message and I can send you the information it looks like there’s quite a few close to you for about $350-$400. Average replacement cost of that transmission at a shop that is making good money it’s probably only about 6 to 700. $1500 for a used transmission with installation is extremely high in my opinion and I do take into consideration that they have to make money.
And as far as being right about what the problem was that’s kind of cool. That’ll be the third time in 20 years that I’ve ever heard of that but to be honest with you it’s because it was not installed properly. And technically speaking it is the repair shop that installed the axle originally for the person who put it in there to begin with I hate to say that because I do not like kicking people while they are down but it is the truth.
Send me a shout out and I will give you the places that have it cheaply around you
@@sharpcarco I'll be contacting you on FB shortly. I just came back from the shop. The shop owner told me he took the car on a test drive and everything appeared to be fine and then he stepped on the gas and the car picked up speed, but the trans then locked up...so there's something very wrong with it and it's pretty much a ticking time bomb. I got him to come down to $1,400 from his original quote of $1,550 while talking to him. The car will stay at the shop for a few days while we decide what to do next. It's all up to my brother, but I'm not getting rid of the car regardless. If he decides to buy another car, I'll tow the Prizm home and try to fix it myself over the next few months. I'll see if I can get the shop owner to come down in price a bit more. He seems like a very decent guy, so I may have some more wiggle room. Thanks for your help.
It looks like you did this all without taking the engine/trans subassembly out. Is that the case? Has anyone else done it that way?
I don’t know I don’t go around and see what other people do I just do it my way the the clear way
How can you tell the difference between a 3speed transmission from a 4speed? Just curious because I'm on a transmission replacement task that's due soon too.
I’m really sorry I honestly don’t know the answer to that question. Feel free to ask it again on Tuesday if you don’t already know the answer and I will look it up and let you know what The difference is
Okay, never mind. I found the identification information. All Toyota's 1993 and newer has a tag by the drivers side door. The abbreviation A/TM and following digits will identify the transmission model. On my tag it indicate: A131L. And further internet research and visual inspection, A131L year 2001 corollas are 3speeds. Good luck..
Wheres the access to torque converter to flywheel bolts
It's odd that you say that your old trans is stuck in park. That's the reason I found your video; my trans is also stuck in park. It worked fine until I went to leave work one day and it wouldn't go into gear. Perhaps this is a common problem?
Honestly I’m not certain. It seemed to have a broken pin inside the transmission I did not take it apart because I’m not a transmission technician and because a used transmission was so affordable I mean it was a couple of hundred dollars.
If I would’ve taken it apart it would’ve cost more money for seals gaskets etc. etc. then the part to repair it I could’ve spent $1000 plus several extra hours worth of time so it just made more sense to replace it.
Because it would not have been a simple area to just remove but I assume that it would be repairable because it was just a broken pin more than likely in one area of the transmission so if transmissions are unavailable to you this might be something that you could actually fix.
How many inches from the bellhousing of the trans deep is the torque converter? Looks about 2”??
Yes about that . But to be sure I got it In I apply light pressure on Torque converter and spin it for about 30 or 40 seconds or I wait to hear it click every time it goes in it should click 2 to 3 times at least and will look deep inside the bell housing
You need to recheck on the price at the salvage yard on these transmissions.
You'll be surprised.
Well I can send you the information of the place I got mine from different parts of the country are going to be different prices but It would help you get the most inexpensive replacement
How much did they say they cost?
I got one for 125
@@sharpcarco where?
Car-part.com
I have no affiliation with them and they are not a sponsor of mine but all the junkyards that are on their website have to pay $300 a month to belong to it and they don’t charge anything for you looking up parts and calling the facility and ordering them you just input your ZIP Code they don’t ask you for any personal information and they tell you all the junkyards nearby that have the exact part that you’re looking for I hope that’s helpful God bless have a great day
I have a transmission code P0741 and I was told I need a new transmission and it will cost 5 grand to get it replaced
On this car in the video?……. The transmission that I bought for this particular car was less than $400 if I remember correctly what ZIP Code do you live in? With it I can tell you everywhere Are local to you that has good quality transmissions used.
It’s easier to reach out to me on clays AC and auto repair on Facebook messenger and send me a DM then I’ll be able to send you a screenshot of all of the places
Hi, i am taking my toyota to a local machanic to replace the auto gearbox. i got the used one with me and my question when i put the new one up, how do i know how much atf fluid to put. the workshop manual i found for my car says 2.1L for drain & refill and 5.8L for dry fill. issue is even though the new used gearbox has been drained , there is still going to be some left in the gearbox especially in the Torque converter which i heard is next to impossible to drain? so my question is how do i determine how much to refilll? is there a way to tell how much fluid is in the TC and if there is a way to remove it without drilling a hole? thanks a lot
Most of the time here in the states when the torque converter comes it’s empty so we put a little bit in it before we put it on you don’t have to worry about overfilling it just pay attention when you get close to the amount that is supposed to have be in it . It’s not good to Over fill transmissions but not the end of the world if you were like just a little bit over just watch what you’re doing
@@sharpcarco thanks so much for swift repsonse. i m in the UK though so i dont know how much the scrapyard people emptied from the gearbox. Lets say i take out the TC and fill it a little bit so when i pour more fluid through the dipstick tube in the end, does the dipstick takes into account how much is there already in the TC? also when filling, the stick has three slight cuts. so should i fill up to the first cut level on the stick or up to the second cut (cold level)
What year vehicle do you think that’s pertinent???
Did u remove sub frame ?
Honestly I don’t remember but if I showed you me removing the sub frame then I removed it but I don’t think so.
I did a pretty much a nut and bolt video.
And the only way you tubers like me can get paid is if people like you watch the whole video.
To make a video like that actually adds two or three days to the job just in case you didn’t know.
So spread the word if someone helps you do something on RUclips do them a courtesy of at least playing the video from front to back even if you turn the volume down especially on auto repair videos they have no entertainment value mostly all they do is give you frustrations LOL 😝
What is the transmission part number for the corolla?
Google I have no clue
What year and is it auto?
Are these transmissions known for failures of the torque converter? Feels like my RPMs are revving a little high on initial acceleration. Any ideas?
Sorry I don’t know. Wish I could be of help
yes, the code of P0741 will appear (check engine light on, use scan tool to pull the code) and indictes problem with lock up solenoid but it is usually the torque convertor failing and the stator bushings on the front of the transmission pump are also usually bad (you can replace the stator bushings when you replace the torque convertor). Many people will replace the torque convertor lock up solenoid first, but it is very seldom the issue and just a waste of money. Google P0741 for Toyota Corolla......there is extensive info on this issue. I just bought a 2007 Toyota Corolla with this issue and have a good used transmission with torque convertor that I am going to swap in and be done with it.
What year Corolla ???
Looks like early 10th generation....so 2009 2010 or 2011....
Can u guys advise me where can I get master rebuild kit for Toyota Marino automatic transmission

Or you can send me your ZIP Code and I can tell you where you can get a used transmission for three or $400 they’re generally pretty good transmission so you don’t have to worry too much about them going bad
lol, taking the batter out, oh we finished putting the transmission in. pretty easy! LOL! and you wack out on the guy who has an 8 series episode on how to remove a transmission on Corolla. clean your shop
Would this be applicable to a '98 Corolla, by chance?
That’s a different body style if I remember correctly I think it would be similar of course as I’m sure you do but probably not identical
It is! They're 2 generations apart in fact! But thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I have a chance to buy one for $500 with a "newish" trans on the side (checked by a shop I know already), so I'm thinking of jumping on it. I need a daily.
I’m having similar issues with my 2009 Corolla. Mine won’t go past neutral, and sometimes it doesn’t recognize parking and I have to kind of move it around once so it can recognize parking. Do you have any idea what can cause the issue?
Only thing I can recommend is too remove the shifting cable from trans and check and see if you can move it freely. If the shifter moves free your trans has a problem on the inside if not your cable is bad. Transmissions are super cheap for these but hope you don’t need one. They are so cheap used (about 300.00) they are not worth taking apart to fix. At least if you have to pay someone to do it
Clay Rogers thanks
@@sharpcarcowhat's a good place to get one that cheap? Also how much to install one? I got a quote from someone that said like 3000$ for the labor??
300$-400$ where??
Car-part.Com
And that was several years ago, so I don’t know what they cost now, but this is a link to what I use whenever I need recycled parts all the recycling yards that are on the site have to pay thousands of dollars to be on here every month so you’re always going to get good parts and they don’t collect cookies or have any advertising, so it’s a really good site and you should be able to trust all of the recyclers on it with the exception of the New York New Jersey recyclers I found that they kind of lie about just about everything not saying everyone of them I’m sure there’s some great ones but…. you have to get the numbers from them and run Carfax to make sure they’re telling the truth.
What year is this Corolla? Did it take the Toyota WS ATF or the CVT fluid?
Hey i need a reply asap what is the name of that plastic cable Part on top of the radiator Hose by the transmission ?? Please ?
Sorry my friend I don’t know , wish I could help
You did a bunch of work off camera then explained what you did. JUST SHOW EVERYTHING. TOO CONFUSING
All right buddy go ahead and make a new video and you do all of that work and then don’t get paid for it………. Then see what you think about my free video
Hindi me
A full minute of introductory crap before starting the video? What is this, hollywood? Knock that crap off; nobody wants to see this.
Sorry about that Harpo I was trying something out “it didn’t work” It seemed cool when I did it to “me” and apparently me “only” But it was a good thing you said something because I was able to figure out how to get rid of them so I changed it to where it doesn’t do that anymore on this video and on another video
Bro i need to speak to you about this. I have a 2018 same engine 2zr and i will install a manual . Do you have ig?
No sorry I don’t and I don’t know what kind of procedures you would have to do to change it from an automatic to manual.
