Why does my transmission shift hard from 2nd to 3rd?
This kind of reaction is often a sign of low transmission fluid or a faulty transmission control solenoid. Every time a gear change is required, the car’s computer activates a transmission solenoid, which directs transmission fluid into the valve body to engage the correct gear.
Why does my car struggle in second gear?
The first culprit to suspect when your vehicle refuses to go into gear is low transmission fluid. Perhaps your fluid is leaking or low, and that may cause your car problems having a smooth gear transmission. You should be looking out for the level, smell and color of the fluid. If little, try adding some liquid.
Why does my car have a hard time changing gears?
Your Transmission Is Worn-Out The bands and clutches that cause gear changes wear down over time. As a result, their surfaces become smooth and no longer hold things together. Unfortunately, you’ll have to remove your transmission to test this. At that point, you might as well replace your transmission.

What kind of transmission does a 2004 Toyota Camry have?
I have a 2004 Toyota Camry, automatic trans, 172k miles, still in great shape and has been well cared for with standard preventative maintenance. When it’s cold (<30F), the transmission will not shift out of 2nd or 3rd gear, can’t tell which.
Can a car not shift out of 2nd gear?
When it’s cold (<30F), the transmission will not shift out of 2nd or 3rd gear, can’t tell which. It reaches about 40mph before the RPMs approach 3000, and I dare not push it harder. Let the car warm up or drive it for 5 minutes and everything is fine. This has happened the last two winters.
Why is my Toyota Tacoma not shifting correctly?
At higher mileages, (125,000-150,000) the automatic transmission may not shift correctly. This can be caused by the throttle position sensor being out of adjustment or a shift solenoid needing to be replaced. Typically the transmission does not need to be completely overhauled.
