Lex3486 Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Hey guys and gals. My 93 ES has a strange transmission; sometimes it is so smooth, you cant feel it shift, while other times you find yourself looking in the rearview praying to God that its not rolling down the road behind you! My mom recently bought a 96, which has the 1MZ, which had come to be known for its smoothness as i understand. It never acts like mine does! I'm jealous, but more importantly, i'd like to know if its a common thing with the first-generation ES, or if i can easily fix it, or, heaven forbid, if my car's just getting old! I've also had a 92, and it was the same way, so i'm hoping its fairly common (even though thats still not a good thing). Could it be a motor and/or transmission mount even? I dunno, but hope someone does! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 well you did have a different engine and tranny as well look at the upper mounts and see if it is breaking aprat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex3486 Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 well, the upper torsion control rod (the thing that runs from the engine to the left fender well) was worn out when i bought the car (this being a common problem with the 92 and 93 models), and i have since replaced it. but it didn't help much with the smoothness. i guess it could be attributed to the actual motor mounts, but i dont know how to check them or what to look for. you have a 94 right?
