Toyota spread the 1977 Corolla across a wide set of body styles: a 2-door coupe, hardtop, hatchback and sedan, a 4-door sedan and a 4-door wagon, sold in Base, Custom and SR5 trim, with most of them offered with either a standard or an automatic transmission. Those variants do not all share one set of service figures, so the model year and the exact trim in front of you decide which numbers Toyota actually published for the car.

Known issues on the 1977 Corolla. One recall stands on the federal record for this model year, and it is a steering fault on the steering gear box rather than a rack and pinion unit.
