I have a 97 Toyota Camry with a strange transmission problem. When I purchased the car in 2004 I was driving along and noticed it slipping out of gear until I had nothing but neutral. I took the car into a shop and they immediately told me I needed a new transmission. I had the transmission completely rebuit for $2500 and got the car back only to have the same thing happen again 5 miles into picking the car up. I took the car back they did something which I'm not sure of and it ran fine for almost 2 years.
About 6 months ago the same thing happened again. I had a friend do a complete Tranny Flush and the card ran fine for 3 months. You guessed it, same thing happened after another 3 months and this time I had the Transmission flushed and the Filter in the pan changed. The car was fine for another 3 months. Today the same thing has happened again? Also if You turn off the car and let the fluid drain the car is driveable for a mile or 2. There has never been any type of burning smell and the loss of all linkage seems to happen within a few minutes and not over a long period of time when it does conk out.
Anyone know why this would be happening and what could remedy the situation?
