I recently bought a `92 camry with @ 225,000 miles on it,with the intention of swinging a used trany in it.The person said it was shot & slips really bad. I drove it home,but my feeling is that it doesn`t need a trany. Just some attention. I didn`t feel any slippage,but a very early shift through all the gears.(overdrive @ 20-30 mph)when coming to a stop,stays in gear, unless shifter in put into "N". Starting from L1 & manually shifting is a bit better, but as the rpm`s rise while in L2, it seems to be confused on which gear to go into, like it wants to shift but is held back by shifter.I pulled the trany pan & things looked very,very clean. pulled vlv bodies down & ck`d out. Again, things looked very impressively clean. I`m not worried about chnging the trany, but reluctant if it only needs a simple fix such as a speed sensor or something. I could "bring it in" for a "free diagnostic", but am a stubborn do-it-yourself person who likes to know what`s going on.I do have 15yrs experience with diesel electronics & voith transmission troublshooting & repair. Any insiteful info would help. Thanks in advance!
