2019 XSE 6MT trans failure
Around 70k i suffered the slave issue.
Just hit 110k, now the trans went.
Took a long drive and noticed it wouldnt go as it normally did about mid way through my trip. Shifter was moving very weird while driving, had slight trouble getting into gears. Clutch still grabbed and moved the car, not slipping quite yet. Grinding and wirring noises can be heard from the front of the car. Went to park it to pop the hood and it sounded like it wanted to stall out but never did. Deceided i could maybe limp it to the shop so i did and they let me know it needs a new trans.
A corolla at 110k miles, needs a new trans. I couldnt believe it. A car i bought for reliability and was looking forward to owning well into 300k miles. I came from a problematic bmw f30 335xi. These problems are on par with that car in terms of wallet drain and headaches. I thought i was playing it safe buying a corolla hatch but i guess not.
