Hi all,

I am hoping someone can help me here....

I have a 1999 Toyota Corolla with an automatic transmission and about 91,000 miles on it. It has been sitting at my mom's house for a few months because I travel for work and am never home. During that time, it was never started so the battery died.

Last week, I had it towed down to a shop to get a new battery put it in. The guy at the shop threw new brakes in it as well (it needed fronts).

I drive it for 1/2 a day and all seems well. Then I noticed a little slip of the tranny. I drive a bit longer and it is slipping worse and worse. I went into a store, come out an hour later, start the car, put it in gear and nothing. Car would not move in any of the gears, including reverse. I was able to feather the gas and get to to barely slide into gear to make it the 2 miles home.

I think the transmission is shot. Can a tranny go as quickly as that? A few slips and then nothing? That day was the first day I ever felt the tranny slip at all. If it needs replacing, how much will this cost me?

Thanks,
Wayne
