2006 Matrix, 2nd to 3rd grindy in the mornings. Sometimes going into 1st as well. Anyone had any luck with different oil additives?

Can't be fixed. The guy that wrote the program for this generation toyota wrote it so it would time-out at 299,999. I have a 2006 Matrix that's been there for about a year.

Thanks

I'll try it, thanks

Yea, I don't get it. An earlier post from jolly, who is 6'1" says that his seat goes back way far enough. I feel like his knees would be up in the steering wheel in mine.

Nah, there's no way. I need to get under it and see why it's not going back very far

Well then something isn't right. I can put my feet flat up against the firewall. Maybe the stopper under the seat is to far forward.

Is there a way to make the driver's seat adjust more to the rear? I am not very tall, 5'10" and I have the seat all the way back, and it's still not far enough? Can you move the rear stop back so the seat will adjust more to the rear?

Well........alrightee then. I reckon, I'll get used to it. Thanks.

It accelerates normally.

So let me get this straight, at times, (not always), when I have the Cruise Control engaged and I am on the down side of an over pass or hill, the RPMs will go up to about 4500 RPMs, like the trans is in neutral, (the engine seems to be racing), and then when I get the bottom of the hill, or...

Strange o_O

2015 Corolla S. I was I the highway, with the cruise on, about 70 mph. When coming down a hill or overpass, the trans acted like it was in neutral for about 5 seconds. RPMs went up to about 4500; it finally re-engaged. Is this normal? CVT Trans.

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a test drive in sport/manual

Yep! Kind of seems like it's slipping, but I was assured that it's not. Toyota tech told me, if something goes wrong with the trans, it will pop a code and you will get a light.
