96 Camry help


Recommended Posts

I posted this on another page then seen this one. I have a 96 camry and the transmission wont shift into gear when you put it in gear it dont do anything go to put it back into park and it grinds. Is it shot or is it something else? When it is in park I can roll the car forward and back so nothing is catching. Im not a mechanic but I can work on stuff but dont know alot about trannys any input would be great.

If you jack up the front of the car and rotate the tires by hand you should be able to see if the drive axle is rotating with the tire(s). The opposite tire should be turning the opposite direction as well. If both shafts are turning but the other tire is not turning the opposite direction than it would be something internal possible with the differential.

Its possible for the motor mount to get a lot of flex and allow the passenger axle to pull out of the inner tulip thats right before the axle bearing/motor mount. We just had one a couple of weeks ago that didn't pull all the way apart but enough that one of the bearings come off the inner cv joint and caused a heck of a vibration under acceleration!

Ok what should I be looking for to see if this is the problem? And how hard of a fix would it be? Thanks.

If you have a jack handy, jack up one side off the ground. Put a jack stand, or block of wood under it(just in case). Leave it in park, and block the rear wheels. With the one tire completely off the ground, have another person rotate the tire while you are looking at the cv shafts. If the joint is blown out, the tire will be turning, but the shaft won't be. The outer joint is the most common joint to go.

Did you have a clicking noise while turning corners prior to this happening??

Well after further review I jacked it up and crwaled underneath and discovered there is a big hole in the bottom of the tranny and looking inside there is damage in there. So I think this will stay a parts car. ANYONE NEED PARTS!

It would need a few door handles a muffeler and a real good clean job. It has newer tires and runs like a top. A little dented and paint is faded but overall not bad. A new used tranny I priced is btwn 350 to 700 bucks so Idont know what to do?

But if I did put only $700 to $800 into it I would have less than $1000 into it. And could sell it for a little profit or keep it for a back up car. Just dont have any extra money and time right now to mess with, with hard water fishing comeing soon. I hope.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
