Toyota Yaris 2002 Slipping Gears
Hi,
I have Toyota Yaris 2002 with Automatic Transmission and 66k miles. All of a sudden it started to slip from first gear to second gear. This does not happen all the time and happens mostly if I accelerate rapidly. The problem is that when it happens, the car exists really slow and if I press the gas pedal further, it just won't respond. Did this ever happen to anyone please? Could it be a matter of just changing the transmission oil fluid? Thank you |

It's possible that changing the transmission fluid (as in draining some and refilling) would help. However, completely flushing the transmission fluid would risk making things worse.
Have you looked at the transmission fluid dipstick? (Be sure the engine is warm and the car is idling while you check it.) It would help to make sure there's enough fluid there and that it doesn't look black or dirty. At 66k miles, I wouldn't expect it to need a change. Do you drive on a lot of hills, or in dirt, or pulling a trailer, or in any way that might put strain on the transmission? |

+1 on checking fluid level. Low auto transmission fluid will cause a lot of funky issues like that.
