Sounds like when you pulled the cv axles you may have unplugged an electrical connector or vacuum line from the transmission. If this is not the case, did you make sure the transmission fluid levels are proper?

This could be a kick-down servo adjustment.

Refer to the service manual.

SOURCE: 99 Corolla is slow to up shift.

take it to a local mechanic and ask him to check the solenoids in the transmission, they will probably do it for little to nothing, its a quick electronic diagnosis, thats what the problem sounds like to me, hope this helps! and good luck, Please rate me!

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.

Transmission solenoid

neither
the torque converter clutch solenoid / servo will not give any drive action if faulty
the transmission if operating fine in all gears with no noises will not need replacing
save money by going to an accredited transmission specialist shop and have the fault codes read first then replace the problem sensor , servo or solenoid

Does the 1988 Nissan Stanza have U-joints? The reason I ask is because when the car shifts it jolts. And when you put it in gear it jolts and vibrates. I looked under the car and I dont see a driveline. Is...

Hi, yes you have front wheel drive. The drive shafts are on each side going from the transaxle to the wheels. each axle has 2 constant velocity (CV) joints. This is a bit different than a U-joint but serves the same purpose. There are 2 indications of a worn out CV joint. Id the boot is torn, the CV will wear out due to dirt getting in. If you hear a popping noise when making a sharp turn, that is a worn our CV joint. If your boots are intact and there is no popping on turns, the odds are the problem is not with the joints but somewhere else in the drive train. Raise the car and turn the wheels by hand to see where the play is coming from. let us know if you have more questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

Make sure that your new transmission came out of a 1995. 93 and 94 transmissions are the same and 96-98 are the same but 95 is an odd ball and only a transmission from a 95 will work. i had the same problem cause i was told 93-95 were the same so i bought one out of a 94 and it wouldn't shift past 3rd. so i found out later that it has got to be a 95 that goes in a 95. two transmissions later.

Overdrive factors

When the car is just cruising along at approx.50+ MPH push the O/D button. You should feel the gears change higher and if you have an RPM guage then it should drop as well to fewer RPMs. This would be normal driving conditions. O/D will not kick in until the last regular gear (3rd or 4th depending on model)  had been shifted into. O/D automatically kicks out when slowing down and the transmission shifts to a lower gear. Thus the O/D has no function at slower speeds/gears and does not need to be shifted ( on or off ) except in the very first example given here.

Sounds like the shift solenoids. A common problem, but before fixing that, try swapping the fluid with Multi-Vehicle type fluid. That transmission, mine included, seems to work better. If no improvement, then shift solenoids
