I am in need of a transmission. Working at an auto parts store I was able to get expert opinions from 6 different head mechanics at different shops and unfortunately I was told several times the trans is my issue. Now of course I could also just have faulty solenoids and/or the valve bodies are an issue but to replace/maintenance those problems are about the same price or possibly more than just getting a used trans. Any recommendations on any cheap places around the Corona city area?

Ok so as recommended I searched for any leaks and the vehicle does not have any (I checked by ear, visually, and by the use of spray to see if car would react differently), I replaced the Vehicle speed sensors (rpm and speedometer), and I also cleaned off the mass air flow sensor. Along with that I also noticed that one of the o2 sensors had oil residue on it due to it being so close to the trans dipstick so I also cleaned that off using the QB electric cleaner. Last but not least I also replaced the Trans filter, gasket, and of course oil (the oil seemed as if it had not been replaced in a long time). The car drives and it does not shift properly (by this I mean that it does not always downshift on its own into first at a complete stop and it never shifts into 4th the final drive gear at all). I have driven about 15 miles and no codes reappear, I am going to continue driving a bit more to wait and see if any codes reappear. until then any more suggestions?

Thank you very much for the feedback. My big worry is that I keep hearing that its the transmission. I drove it and it seems like the car is confused about what gear to be in. I could be going 20mph and then its like its no longer in gear and the revs just shoot up as if in neutral; it will then begin to accelerate and intermittently it seems like its upshifting and downshifting like its confused. I will clean the MAF and check for any air leaks. could the shifting issue be the "Vehicle speed sensor"?

I have a 1995 ES300 that pops up 8 trouble codes 1) p0170- Fuel Trim Bank 1 2) p0130- (bank 1) Front heated oxygen sensor voltage is constant 3) p0133- (bank1) Front oxygen sensor slow response 4) p0150- (bank 2) Front heated oxygen sensor voltage is constant 5) p0153- (bank 2) Front oxygen sensor slow response 6) p0441- EVAP VSV malfunction OR EVAP VSV stuck closed OR EVAP VSV stuck open 7) p0500- Vehicle speed sensor circuit malfunction 8) p0720- Output shaft speed sensor circuit I just bought the car and I know vehicle speed sensor was just replaced so that shouldn't be an issue but the others are a huge worry. Problem started when I was driving and the car shut off. I started it back up and as I would accelerate from a stop it wouldn't move but the RPM's would just go up. When I dropped the gear into the 2nd gear (automatic gearbox) it would move and then I was able to shift into D (Drive) and it would drive smooth. I then parked it because I didn't wanna push it. I tried the next day to move it and it drove fine for about 6 or 7 miles then it would start to sputter/bog nasty. I again was able to do the 2nd gear move to advance again. When I shifted it into reverse it started to shake horribly again. Please help!!!
