I was wondering if it would happen to be the Transmission fluid needing to be changed? because it seems to have trouble shifting into 3rd or 4th gear when going above 45 mph on the highway
If it is not going into overdrive or lockup it could be the fluid or an electrical problem. Some of the shifting is controlled by solenoids now.
You may have to get a transmission shop to evaluate it for you.

Synthetic fluid is NOT recommended for your transmission. The best advice I can give you is to go and have the transmission completely flushed, and put the correct fluid, from Toyota, into the transmission. If you keep driving it with the synthetic fluid, you are going to damage the transmission beyond repair.
Also, get your money back from Sears.
I hope this helps you out. A FixYa rating for my assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for choosing FixYa for assistance.

First thing to do is check the fluid level if that ok you may want to think about having the transmission filter and fluid changed, there are other possibilities but check these first

could very well be the problem ,together with band adjustment

your transmission is in need of a rebuild. Almost EVERY manual Corolla has transmission problems between 85-100k. They are JUNK! if you don't believe call your local dealer and check availability on a new manual trans. Ours went at 85k. There is a weak link (part) that has been upgraded to fix the problem at YOUR expense. Did you know that there are sludge issues in that motor that could cause it to go at 100k. Again, Toyota takes NO responsibly for this and say's it is uncommon?!
Unfortunately the days of Toyota making a great car are OVER. Buy a Honda. That's what we did.
