89 tranny goes bye bye today
ok my 89 camry's auto tranny went out today AND why does it not tell you "dam!!" right in the middle of traffic and all .
to replace it should not be hard i have found 3 already. What do i have to look for on an 89 base model 4 spd auto that might be different on all others of diff years (ie 88-91)
yes i know i have to fig what i have first but i thought i would get a jump on it online first.
thanks all

If no forward or reverse gear might be the torque converter one-way clutch.
Can not help much on specifics but the following may help eliminate the wrong trans. All trans below were used in Camry around this time.
Compatible listings are for 88-90 and 88-91, don't why the difference.
There may be a sticker on the drivers door with the trans number would guess A140E. This trans is electric controlled shift having electric solenoids.
Toyota offered an all trac trans for the 4-wheel drive. This trans also has an output shaft for the rear differential.
There was a A140L having hydraulic not electric shifting. Has no electric shaft solenoids.
Some trans had two speed sensors, over time Toyota changed to one.
The drive axle attachment to the differential had two methods.
Some diffs had axles stubs with flanges where the axle had a matting flange that bolted to it. Later models had the more typical plug-in design.
Sometimes the wiring harness plug changed thus not fitting the one on the car
Check replacement trans flex plate bolt pattern that bolts to crank. Also check for flex plate cracking.
Inspect the trans you have then confirm the replacement is within the years above (the closer to your year the better) and compare to the proposed replacement trans.
Another tip is to make sure the torque converter is filled with fluid before installing as the trans pump will not prime an empty converter.
When installing the replacement trans make sure the converter is fully seating on the oil pump drive shaft. It uses a tongue and groove system which needs to be engaged. If not engaged the converter will extend slightly out of the bell housing. Just enough that when the trans is bolted together the clamp up force will drive the converter oil pump shaft into the oil pump body and damage it.
