I have an '04 Corolla. For some reason when I put the car in reverse it makes a clunking kind of noise. I don't know if this is related to a lubrication problem or whether is something related to the transmission failing. I have never had any problems with my transmission. Also, when my car was ~1 1/2 yrs %26quot;old%26quot; I had to change my transmission oil, it was really dark and it was supposed to be pink. Should I change it/flush it again? The car has ~25-30,000 miles then. Now it's almost at 56K. Also I need to change my battery (I've had it since I bought the car) but I don't know how to buy one. What are the specifics for my car as far as battery type/amps, etc? Thanks a lot!!!2004 Toyota Corolla Transmission Oil, Reverse Noise and Battery?The driveline warranty on a Toyota is 5 years, 60K miles. Take it to the dealer right away, and they should fix it for free. And, yes, the same CCA battery will be fine for your car.
Hope this helps. God Bless!2004 Toyota Corolla Transmission Oil, Reverse Noise and Battery?You should run it to the parts store and let them change your battery, I would change the fluid again on the tranny. Also have it change for anythign worn like bushings2004 Toyota Corolla Transmission Oil, Reverse Noise and Battery?the more cold cranking amps the better, but for such a small car, just match what you have now, it will be fine....
a %26quot;clunk%26quot; usually eludes to a cv joint problem, or possibly loose lug nuts.....but it could be a trans issue....2004 Toyota Corolla Transmission Oil, Reverse Noise and Battery?have the entire drive line checked. you shouldn't change the trans fluid until you hit the recommended mileage in your owners manual for maint. it the fluid is getting burnt and dark there is usually an internal problem--take it to your dealer asap and diagnose. good luck2004 Toyota Corolla Transmission Oil, Reverse Noise and Battery?the clunking noise is probably a broken motor mount
it wouldn't hurt to service the transmission
why do you think you need a battery? most batteries last 5,6, even 7 years these days if it isn't cranking slowly or lights fade very quickly when engine is off you probably don't need to waste your money
good luck
