professional repair with guarantee of quality of Toyota Corolla 150 mechanical transmissions of all modifications 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.8 2.0 2.2 Moscow Russian Federation

For many motorists, it is important: what to choose from a transmission when buying a Toyota Corolla 150. The following types of gearboxes are available: classic automatic, manual, CVT, robotic version.

With an automatic transmission, the driver experiences comfort, smoothness, and efficiency. The price of an automatic transmission is 20% higher than a manual transmission. Mechanics are a third cheaper, easy to maintain, and are famous for their long service life. The CVT is economical, but nothing more. The robotic version is a cross between the classic automatic transmission and manual transmission.

Toyota Corolla 150 is equipped with the following types of transmissions:

What is the real fuel consumption for a Toyota Corolla 150 with automatic / manual transmission

• Toyota Corolla, engine capacity: 1.33 – 5.8 l. — AI-95;
• 6 l. – 6.9 – 7.2 l. - AI-95. Depending on the configuration of the technical device;
• 6 MultiMode – 6.7 l – AI-95;
• 6 AT Comfort Plus – 7.2 l. - AI-95.

The data are averaged. It should be taken into account that in the urban cycle and on the highway, fuel consumption will differ significantly from the above figures. In general, fuel consumption with a manual transmission is half a liter lower.

When systematically using a Toyota Corolla in densely populated cities, there is no significant difference in consumption. The savings will only be “felt” outside the city, on long trips.

Fuel consumption can also be adjusted by using a moderate driving style of the vehicle. On the contrary, an aggressive style helps to increase consumption.

Toyota Corolla transmission repair cost

A manual transmission, unlike an automatic one, is more reliable, but sometimes it also requires periodic repairs due to natural wear and tear of parts and mechanisms or for other reasons.

Typical problems with automatic transmission, manual transmission Toyota Corolla 150

Most models sold in the CIS are equipped with an automatic transmission. With moderate use, these are comfort, fuel economy, smoothness, acceleration dynamics. Violation of the rules of use leads to breakdowns and technical malfunctions.

Despite the fact that Japanese transmissions are famous for their long service life, ease of maintenance, preventive maintenance should be carried out every 60,000 km. It is also important to observe the interval for changing hydraulic oil and cleaning elements.

Typical problems of Toyota Corolla automatic transmission:

• insufficient oil level, as a result of which the planetary gear is not fully lubricated, and the friction force increases;
• mechanical damage, crack, defect, hole in the sealing gasket;
• inaccurate speed switching;
• slight jolts when starting off;
• slippage due to wear of clutches;
• the car starts moving in neutral gear;
• activation of speeds only after the car has slightly warmed up;
• damage to the cooling radiator, which increases the operating temperature, overheating of parts, and accelerates wear of parts.

In each case, the breakdown is identified individually during a comprehensive diagnosis at a service station. Self-inspection is possible, but only with special equipment. As a rule, if the basic rules of car operation are observed and technical inspection is carried out in a timely manner, critical breakdowns do not occur.

Among other modifications of gearboxes, the 4-speed U341F should be highlighted. One of the oldest, but reliable and proven over the years on various Toyota models. The only drawback of the transmission is the failure of the torque converter due to severe overheating. This does not happen often, only during prolonged slipping, skidding, or ice. Contacting a service station late leads to disastrous consequences - replacing the solenoid block, seals, and electronic control unit.

A modernized version of hydraulics is a robot. This is a manual transmission with electronic control installed. Irregularities in operation lead to “knocking out” of the clutch and slipping. Timely replacement of the unit will significantly reduce maintenance costs, otherwise a major overhaul of the automatic transmission is guaranteed.

The simplest way to independently check the oil level in an automatic transmission:

• put the gear in neutral, start the engine, warm up the car to 40 - 50 degrees. If the car has previously driven more than five kilometers, it should not be warmed up;
• We place the Toyota on a flat viewing platform;
• remove the dipstick from the transmission and wipe it dry;
• lower, remove, check the level. If there is a shortage, we replenish the missing quantity at the service station or on our own if special equipment is available.

The mechanics are checked a little easier - by unscrewing the filler plug on the transmission housing.

Main causes of breakdowns

Numerous reasons that lead to malfunctions in the Toyota Corolla manual transmission may be different. One of the main factors for carrying out repairs is considered to be careless attitude towards the car, natural wear and tear of components and mechanisms. The main causes of gearbox failure include:

• Damage to the gearbox housing, which led to oil leakage.
• Irregular oil changes or filling the system with oil of a different brand than that specified in the vehicle’s operating manual.
• Rocker shifting, frequent or incorrect shifting of the lever.
• Delayed replacement of filter elements.
• Slipping in mud or deep snow, etc.

If the owner does not strictly adhere to the necessary operating standards, this will soon lead to the need for partial repairs or a complete replacement of the Corolla gearbox.

An automatic transmission is considered more reliable, but failure to comply with basic operating rules leads to the need for repairs. Most often, Toyota Corolla automatic transmission owners encounter the following malfunctions:

• Damage to the hydraulic plate. In this case, it is necessary to replace the solenoid blocks.
• Damage to the clutch control unit. In this scenario, the entire unit will need to be repaired or completely replaced.

Recommendations for increasing the service life of automatic transmissions

• systematically warm up the car before each time you leave the garage;
• undergo technical inspection strictly according to the approved schedule. An increase in interval is allowed, but not more than 500 km;
• fill the transmission fluid strictly in accordance with temperature indicators, observing the viscosity coefficient;
• do not exceed the permitted speed limit;
• Avoid slipping and over-gearing. If necessary, keep the tachometer needle in the green - yellow zone, balance the load with rest for the automatic transmission.

Transmission repair

Manual transmissions on Toyota Corolla cars are quite reliable. Breakage of the box does not occur instantly, unless, of course, it is sharply deformed as a result of a strong impact or a rapid leak of transmission oil. First, the sound of the operating gearbox increases, then knocking and side sounds join it, then problems with gear shifting begin.

Manual transmission repair for a Toyota Corolla begins with diagnostics. When starting to disassemble the box, you need to know exactly where the breakdown occurred, otherwise the work of replacing a damaged spare part will turn into a complete overhaul of the unit, which means additional time, nerves and waste. To carry out manual transmission repair work, you will need specialized tools, in particular, gear pullers, a vice, a set of keys, and also take care of the correct sealant and transmission oil.

Is it possible to repair an automatic transmission, manual transmission Toyota Corolla 150

Elimination of any breakdown will be effective if you promptly contact the service station. Delaying diagnostics only worsens the situation and increases the severity of the breakdown. In most cases, it is enough to carry out comprehensive diagnostics, replace consumables, and the box is back in working order. Mechanical damage, overheating, jamming require deeper repairs, sometimes major ones.

If a breakdown is detected, promptly contact the service center for identification and calculation of the number of spare parts. Independent unprofessional intervention may disrupt the operation of a particular unit.

Troubleshooting Toyota Corolla gearbox

If any malfunctions or deviations from the normal operation of the gearbox are detected, never

troubleshoot the problem yourself. In the future, this can lead not only to significant financial costs and expensive repairs, but also to undesirable consequences.

The right decision would be to seek qualified help from our specialized service center, where, with the help of high-tech equipment and modern tools, Toyota Corolla owners will be provided with timely, high-quality assistance. The most vulnerable point in the Corolla model is the ball bearings located in the rear of the gearbox housing.

Our technicians will replace damaged parts with new ones, such as:

• Bearings of primary and secondary shafts. Untimely replacement of these elements will lead to jamming of the box, and while driving this can lead to negative consequences.
• Clutches, cables, rockers.
• Oil seals, crankshaft bearings, as well as the release bearing.
• Working cylinder.
• Denfer clutch.
• The cable responsible for shifting gears.
• If necessary, damaged gears will be replaced.
• If the box body is damaged, work will be carried out to restore it. In case of slight deformation, it can be eliminated using argon welding. When performing such work, you must first drain the old oil, and after completing all the necessary measures, fill in new, high-quality oil.

It should be noted that the vehicle owner must remember to change the oil in a timely manner, because its condition can accurately indicate the level of wear of the mechanisms and predict upcoming repairs.

What is better: repair or replacement (cost of a new and used box)

Service station mechanics recommend in this case to be guided by the size of the budget. Obviously, it is better and more reliable to purchase a new transmission, but this is not possible due to the high cost. Another thing is contract, the price of which is half cheaper, but the quality does not always meet factory standards.

An automatic transmission after a major overhaul will cost 15–16 thousand rubles, depending on the place of order. The price for a new original automatic transmission is 2 – 2.5 times higher. New manual transmission (manual transmission) is 15% cheaper than an automatic transmission.

Repair or replacement... For minor damage, without deformation of the case - repair. In all other cases, only a complete replacement. All actions are carried out after a comprehensive diagnosis by service station specialists.

TOYOTA Corolla 150 is an excellent car for urban areas. Economical, stylish, quite compact and reliable. Problems with a manual transmission stem from a weak bearing on the lower input shaft and similarly on the lower output shaft. Unfortunately, the designers included a small reserve of strength, or rather, a weak turnover capacity of the inner race of these bearings. Out of ten TOYOTA Corolla 150 cars requiring transmission repairs, 8 are due to the characteristic hum produced by these bearings. The remaining 2 cars have a lack of transmission oil, resulting in burnt out 5th or 5th and 6th gear (with a six-speed gearbox installed).
