'03 transmission lifekieran4004 10-24-2009, 08:30 AM What is the life expectancy of an automatic transmission for an '03 Corolla? Thanks for your time quick69gto 10-24-2009, 01:15 PM I don't know what the life expectancy would be, but we have an '03 Corolla w/auto trans that has 295xxx miles on it. It is all hwy miles though (around 250 miles a day). It is a medical courier vehicle so it gets well maintained. roadrunner2 10-24-2009, 10:56 PM There you go. Regular fluid changes and consistent preventive maintenance is what keeps vehicles practically trouble free. FWIW, I have an '04 Matrix and change the tranny fluid every 30k miles. I'm one who does not believe in waiting for the manufacturers mileage time. Same goes for engine oil/filter changes, every 3k miles or 3 months. Coolant replacement every 3 years. Most of our driving here is stop 'n go, but to some that seems like overkill but it works for me. quick69gto 10-25-2009, 02:40 PM There you go.

I am the mechanic that maintains the fleet for the above mentioned medical courier company and I believe in the same maintenance schedule as you do. I professionally don't agree with how far vehicle manufacturers have stretched out regular service intervals as of late. Not going to happen if I take care of the maintenance.:nono: dorman68 10-26-2009, 10:09 AM My wife's 03 Corolla has 180,000 miles with original trans, never had any issues, still has original fluid in it. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
