Need Help..
Hi,
I'm a girl and know absolutely nothing about cars so I need some help. I have an automatic '07 Yaris sedan and when the gears change they slip really bad. I didn't notice it until my boyfriend pointed it out when he drove it. It has been getting worse and does it every time it changes from first to second and then occasionally in between the other gears. I don't know if this would be a transmission problem or not, like I said, I'm clueless. Thanks! |

That often means that the automatic transmission is beyond practical repair, but it can also be caused by the automatic transmission being under or overfilled with transmission fluid. Look at the following post for information on where the dipstick is located and how to check the level and condition of the fluid: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...53&postcount=8

Check your fluid, usually done with the engine running in PARK. Also I would change the fluid and filter as it fixed my problem on a different car.
