Toyota Corolla Transmission Issues-car won't drive for more than 50 feet at a time in any gear. 2007 Corolla S
07 Toyota Corolla Transmission Issue-car won't move in any gear for more than 50 feet at a time. HELP!!!?
It's under warranty of course.
The car just stopped running. It starts of course but when I shift into any gear-nothing-zero movement. I left the car aprked and went back 3 hours later. The car moved about 100 feet-stopped again-no gears worked.
The next day I go back and the car moves about 25 feet in drive then stops-engine just revs.
My thoughts are if the transmission was completely out it wouldn't drive at all. I'm confused here.
It's under warranty but I don't have towing. If it is fixable myself I'd rather go that route then pay the $100 for towing.
Any advice?

It sounds like you have a broken torque converter in your transmission. The converter is basically a hydraulic pump that converts the engines mechanical power into fluid power for you transmission. If it is damaged or leaking it can do just as you are descirbing. Take it to your friendly neighborhood toyota dealer as this is a major repair best left to the professionals, especially if it is under warranty

i'm a qualified transmission rebuilder and that i will inform you that a possibly reason is a clogged clear out. an hassle-free provider, new fluid and new clear out (not A FLUSH) ought to help. you do whether have some glazing on you take carry of p.c.. because of the slipping or not pulling, so a rebuild may well be on your destiny. A flush does not get you what you pick: the hot clear out!

Call the nearest Toyota dealership and tell them your story. I believe that they are responsible, under warranty, for getting the car to their dealership and repairing it. If not, sell it and buy a Honda!

Dealer will tow free if warranty. Do not do your self as you may void warrenty and next time you pay all.
