I'm definitely studying this. My 2010 Toyota Matrix S AWD 2.4L auromatic lost reverse. U140F transmission. R and D pressure tests check out although I can't go much above 2200 RPMs (limp mode?). I checked linkage, installed a remanufactured valve body, verified manual valve was hooked up, changed transmission speed sensors, solenoid wire, bought a master rebuild kit and installed new steels and disks, installed a remanufactured direct drum with new clutches, by accessing the rear case behind the driver side front tire wi th our having to drop the transmission, but that didn't solve the lost reverse issue so I am planning to pull the whole thing to inspect the rear case components.

Brilliant video thanks very much, anyone else following this step by step it is easier to leave the gear change cable bracket (13.5mins into video) until after you have taken out the drive shafts. and as someone else suggested taking out the fan shroud makes the starter motor much easier.

Thanks Leo. A new transmission from Toyota will cost about $3200 and they will only honor the warranty if the job us performed by an authorized shop. A remanufactured transmission is about $2200 and depending where you go - you’ll have an easier time with the warranty. Depending where you find a used transmission they can be almost as expensive as the remanufactured ones. Because of that my choice would be reman. Good luck with your Corolla.

The difference you feel is probably going to be coming from the pressure plate. That’s the outside cover with all of the ‘fingers’ in the middle pointing towards the center. If the new plate is weaker than the original pressure plate you’ll feel that in the clutch. Give it a test by slowly letting out the clutch with the brake engaged to see if it slips at all. Also, do you remember tightening down the bolts for the pressure plate to the correct torque?

Hi Paul, I think so, provided you have access to proper tools. Big stuff like jack, jack stands, transmission jack, slide hammer to remove axles (some can be rented). Also ‘special’ tools like torque wrench, axle nut socket, and long extensions. With a car that old you will no doubt run into rusty fasteners. They can be tough to remove and might need a torch or other methods to break them free (especially exhaust fasteners). I recommend having a look around the car to see what you’re in for. Also, give yourself enough time to do it, factoring in problems like broken bolts that you may have to deal with. Expect a trip to the hardware store or parts store to buy replacements. I hope this helps, good luck with your project - when you solve the little problems along the way, the experience will be that much more satisfying.

The most difficult and time consuming part of the job was actually removing and reinstalling that rear transmission mount. What an absolute pita. My model has an excessively long stud on the mount bracket that drops through the frame, but when you go to remove it it ends up hitting the firewall and is extremely difficult to remove and reinstall. Also, I couldn’t justify buying a $125 transmission jack that I’d use once so I made a diy trans jack using a floor jack and ratchet straps lol.

The short answer is, you’re fine. Toyota used to make that clutch disc with rubber dampers, but that part number was discontinued. The new Toyota part number is: 31250-12360-84. That new part also has spring dampers, so for whatever reason Toyota decided to change that part.

Hey Hi, I am revisiting this video; interesting, now I got my engine back inside the bay BUT after securing and torquing while attaching the shifter cables found there is no space to attach back the shifter bracket then see at the end of the video here you also chose to remove the shifter cables with the bracket attached to it instead of leaving the bracket in the transmission; so how do you attach the shifter cable bracket back when you install the transmission again? I don't see a way to do it without a car lift! I was underneath reattaching the exhaust to engine but was late in the afternoon and could not see a way to get to it from underneath, seems have to take a harder look with better day light or can this be done by reattaching the bracket from top of engine bay removing the shifter cables from it and get the coolant hoses out of the way for clearance? it seems the exhaust manifold would be in the way from top as well so how to resolve this dilema?

You didn't show removal of snap rings at the transmission differential. Do axles hust float in the transmission differential so you can hammer them out without first removing any locking security mechenism?

And I couldn't get the axle nut off of the passenger side axle at all and ended up having to remove the whole knuckle. Still, even if everything had gone perfectly, it would have still taken me at least 5 hours. So maybe you could have said, "It takes me 30 minutes, but on weekend time you could take 2-3 hours. Unless you're a complete noob like some of my viewers, in which case it'll take 5-8 hours, and that's if everything goes perfectly.
