10'-14' Most Common Toyota Camry Transmission Issue!(Torque Converter Replacement) 

At what mileage did you experience this at . My 13 Camry has 208k miles and don’t have that issue (yet) Atleast

It must be Transmission slip then i am just guessing as i am in the same boat. It jerks at shifting ,sluggish and all of sudden releases power...

Check axle

@@irfanejaz4180hi there, i hope you’re doing well. I have same problem with my car. I was wondering about your issue, did you fix it and how did you fix it. I appreciate your feedback.

From what i understand, if you own 2012-2014 camry you'll need to update software. If you missed the extended warranty, then out of pocket cost is $175. for the software update. But if you already have the shudder then you may need to replace the torque converter as well with another cost. Very important is if you needed to replaced the torque converter per the shudder, still need the software update or else the shudder will happen again.

I would agree😂

Only the 4 cylinder does it

You better not have it replaced for that😂Easy fix just bery labor intensive

@@miguellechuga3338 right lol.

@@miguellechuga3338 you think about 800-1000?

@@miguellechuga3338 Thank you so much

Id say so,Depends on the sho you take it too

It all depends what the mechanic hourly rate is,Dealership charge about 12-13 hours at $175 an hour in my area

So about 2k?

my local dealership said about $2,500 @@MIKExMASSACREx

That doesnt like a shutter,A shutter would most likely be felt around 40MPH & about 10-15% throttle..I would run the codes & see if theres any “pending “codes related to timing be too advanced and if so,It would be a VVTI issue

I usually recommend a new front pump seal & rear main seal when I replace it boss!

You can have your local toyota dealership do it,im not sure about any websites having it!

@@miguellechuga3338 Okay.. but how long would the new torque converter last if I can’t get the update? My car is past 150k miles at this point, and I know the extended warranty by Toyota has expired by now.

Any idea?

That update is top help with shifting since when the shudder happens the car is trying to compensate,So the car woll still shudder or it will,The update “resets”The shifting memory

Just for the software update, quote from toyota dealer service $175.

Se siente todo el carro vibrar

No codes,And the shutter gets worse with time

What did you end up doing did it go away?

Usually shops charge $140-180 an hour and its a 14 hours job or so

Its alot more common on the gen before that one BUT a shudder usually indicates at the converter,I would try having the transmission fluid replaced and the Transmission memory reset before getting the torque converter done since its pricey repair!

I have a 2012 Camry 79k I had the firmware upgrade in 2014 according to Toyota and recently I just had a slight shudder/vibration at 45mph I put new tires on which I needed but nothing changed then my local transmission shop recommended dropping the pan new fluid etc and now it runs like new again I never changed the fluid per Toyotas claim that its good for the life of the car? the fluid was dirty from now on every 30k I will be getting it changed at the shop its too much hassle draining it,filling it keeping it level and getting the right temperature ,my old Forrester with the external filter is so much easier.I feel like I dodged a bullet a new TC would be expensive for a car with only 79k.

@@missadda8890 I'm definitely suspecting dirty transmission fluid for sure. But like you said it's such a hassle going thru the technical way to do it. Thank you for sharing your success with trans fluid change. Was yours burnt by chance? What's crazy is mine is a 2017 with a shudder at 85k miles

Showing him how its done

shows me how to work on Toyotas and I show him how to dance

@@lemmegetabitefam love it

Hey man!theres no need just the transmission has to come out!

No it does not that year is all good!👍

@@miguellechuga3338 Are the Truestart batteries good or are there better choices?

@@subgyu5693 weve never had a true start fail on us

Not sure labor is about 12-14 hours

It all depends on what shop you Go to
