Problem overview

Some Toyota Corolla owners report experiencing issues with their vehicle not shifting into high gear after replacing solenoid 1A, particularly when the check engine light is illuminated. A common problem cited is a lack of transmission fluid, which can significantly affect shifting performance. Additionally, misaligned throttle position sensors and malfunctioning shift solenoids may contribute to these shifting difficulties. Owners have also noted symptoms such as rough shifting, jerking, shuddering sensations, and loud noises during gear changes, indicating potential transmission problems. Unusual noises like grinding, whining, or clunking during shifts, along with delayed shifting, may further signal transmission trouble. Given these concerns, it is recommended that owners seek professional diagnosis to identify and resolve any underlying issues affecting their Toyota Corolla's transmission.
