My mom has a 1992 camry, 2.2 5sfe, it's got 260k km on it, the last 100k (if that, 10 years she's owned it) has been mostly city driving to and from work, and all of a sudden the tranny has taken a big E36 M3! At first, reverse I was told, seemed to be slipping , and now everything apparently is sluggish..
I'm very surprised, since I hold toyotas in high praise, such as my 620,000 km tercel.. Lol!
Anyone have experience with this?
I know that era of rolla (4afe) the slush box trans was a common dead thing... my '92 prizm's trans let go around 140k and I ended up buying an entire car with a known good trans (and a bad engine from a spark plug falling appart inside a cyl) from a friend as it was easier/cheaper then buying from the JY (not many to be had)
The slushbox isn't as long-lived as the manual. Time to convert to manual and build a rally cross car!
i might do something like that.. she's getting rid of it, but the dealer isnt going to give her dick squat on trade in, thats for sure.. and i'd hate to see a minty car go to the wreckers..
If you want to get REAL dumb with it, it has the makings of a decent open class stage rally car, too. (Celica GT4 stuff isn't hard to adapt to that car, relatively.)
But at that point, i'd just start with something AWD. 
Yeah well my uncle has more than enough alltrac to go around.. Plus Toyota used the all trac bits for the awd camry

Different bits, not as strong. 
But should still hold around 300hp without much complaint. Just don't try it with a Corolla AllTrac.
