Why does my Toyota Corolla not shift to 4th gear?
The transmission seems to be “slipping”, while attempting to accelerate from 2nd to 3rd and sometimes before that. A description of the sound would be, the engine continuing to rev up to higher rpms but there is no change in speed. Just the sound of acceleration. Yet no change in speed. Will not shift to 4th gear.
What does it feel like when you shift the car into gear?
When you shift into gear and you hear the engine rev, does it feel like the car is fighting the brakes, or does it feel like no power is going to the drive wheels? IT doesn’t feel like its fighting the brakes. It just doesn’t seem to be transferring any power at all. It doesn’t move or shimmy or anything. It just rev’s and doesn’t move.
Why does my Toyota Camry not shift into drive?

Where to go if your car won’t shift?
Whatever you do, do NOT go to AAMCO, Lee Myles, Cottman, Mr. Transmission, or any other chain operation unless you want to be told that you need a new/overhauled transmission–whether you really do or not. An indy shop is more likely to give you an honest diagnosis, a fair price, and good workmanship. Thanks VDCDriver.
