hard shifting transmision - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #88910 6 posts Started by Fuzzyfo
Hey everyone, i have a 94 st automatic which shifts hard when i put it in drive and reverse, it does the same is it drives as well, if shifts hard with a loud thud, anybody have any idea of what could be causing this?
I'm not sure myself either but I believe it could be a selenoid.

Per the BGB, possible causes of harsh transmission engagement at any driving range:

Throttle cable out of adjustment
Valve body or primary regulator faulty
Accumulator pistons faulty
Transaxle faulty
When is the last time the ATF was changed?
