94 Corolla, basic as basic can be. Automatic transmission. 278,000 miles.
Have replace both front axles already and it sounded like the CV axle had gone again so I went about changing it. As I am getting ready to put the new one in, I see something hanging in the female end of the transaxle casing. There was what looks like it used to be a very tightly wound spring that was just all mangled up hanging out of the hole.
Was worried about it but proceeded with putting the axle in. Got everything put back together but now have the same originating sound....a metal on metal sound while turning and sometimes even straight too...almost feels like gearwheel teeth are broken but at least on the side that I replaced i didn't feel anything.
Any ideas, folks?
I own a Toyota Corolla Hatchback Ascent 2002 model.
I have recently being experiencing problems when changing gears as it makes grinding sounds and i struggle to change gears.
When changing into reverse from a stationary position the gearbox makes extreme grinding sounds.
When engaging clutch it makes a loud clicking sounds.
Could anyone with any experience please help identify the problem? Thanks in advance.

I know there are probably a lot of people with great car knowledge in this forum, so I'm here to ask for your advice.
I have an automatic 04 Corolla with about 75k miles. About a month ago, I noticed that my car started having trouble switching gears. At about 2500rpm, the transmission would kind of rev without moving the car along.
My dad (who only thinks he's a mechanic) took a look at the transmission dip stick and noticed that it was a bit on the low side. He added some transmission fluid, and shorty after, my car drove drastically smoother. About a day or so later, it returned to it's unusual rev'ing self. Now the thing is, about two months ago, I took my car to my mechanic and had an transmission oil change, so where did the rest of that oil go? I park my car in my garage, but there is no oil collection on the ground.
What do you guys think?
thanks for the help.
