MR2 Automatic Transmission Problems

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven't checked the fluid myself yet. Can you tell me more about your experience? Was it the transmission oil, and what did you do to fix it?

Yeah, for me, it was the transmission oil being discolored and degraded. Given your symptoms and mileage, worn oil is likely. If you're not comfortable checking it, get a workshop to take a look. They can check for low voltage too, and tell you if you need a flush or replacement.

Thanks, I'll take it to a workshop to get the oil checked and replaced if needed. They quoted me about 240€. Appreciate the help!

I have an MR2 too, and that sounds familiar. I had similar shifting issues and the transmission light. Emergency mode is definitely concerning. Have you checked the transmission fluid level and condition? If it's low or dark and sludgy, that points to a fluid issue. These transmissions are sensitive to oil condition.
