Topics of discussion range from fuel economy, safety, modifications, performance all involving America's favorite family car, the Toyota Camry.
okay guys, the car is 1992 toyota camry LE 4cly, recently my old trans took a dump so i replaced with a used one from the yard, everything went well, got everything together and the car wouldn't start! put the car in drive to let it roll down teh drive way, for some odd reason the flywheel/torque converter doesnt spin, starter gets very HOT. is something seized? dhelp me out guys
If starter hums and getting hot, disconnect the battery and try to rotate engine clockwise at the crank bolt. If engine does not spin, the tranny should come out to verify that torque converter cut-outs are properly engaged with front pump drive.
If you were removing the flexplate check the spacers on the crank flange.[if switched around, the TC will be pushed to the pump drive preventing it from rotation].

okay, converter cut-outs, flexplates? what spacers and where? this is my first auto trans replacement, i've done many manual honda trans replacement but never a camry, thanks for the help, i'll try and rotate the engine tomorrow.
the spacesrs located on the crankshaft flange;they usually put like this:
spacer-flexplate-spacer- bolts or flexplate-spacer-bolts without spacer between the flange and flexplate;

those were not touched at all durning the whole process
okay guys, motor does not turn by hand, i took off the trans, and there are two shafts, on big and one small on the trans, the bigger one goes over the smaller one, i tried turning the bigger geared shaft and it does not turn at all, i tried putting it in different gears but no go, the small shaft spins freely but the big one doesn't, does this mean the trans is shot?
The big splinned shaft is not supposed to turn [hence the name"stator shaft"]
you need to inspect the cutouts in the torque converter for damage and you also need to make sure the torque coverter cut outs are the same on old and new one.

torque converter was the one that came with the new trans. im thinking the flexplate shifted when i put the torque converter and trans on, so looks like i'll have to take it apart again! ccutouts looks to be fine
The number and size of spacers under the flexplate may be different between JDM and american market cars. it can be very good idea to check the distance between tranny mounting flange and torque converter to flexplate mounting pads using staight edge and ruller on old and replacement tranny.www.camrystuff.com , gen 3, , AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE – ASSEMBLY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION page

"Using a scale and a straight edge, measure from the
installed surface to the front surface of the transaxle
housing.
Correct distance:
13.0 mm (0.51 in.) or more"
