My last truck with a $3,000 transmission remanufacture at 200K still never seemed like new, so I traded it. I'm going to make this transmission work and last. I'm going with the full flush on my Tundra SR-5 when I get to 60K. I'm no mechanic, but after seeing the cutaway and the explanation it makes perfect sense to me. Flushing dislodges these particles and your super clean old transmission will slip and not shift properly. There are hundreds of very thin parts in the transmission that have broken in with contaminates on and between the parts. Flushing a transmission after 100k that has "never" been serviced is not wise. Re: your 100K quote, I have had this very discussion, several times, with most of their master mechanics and they explained the reasons to me using an actual working cut away teaching transmission model. They have a large shop that is always packed to the max and their reputation and expertise is stellar. They have been in business since the late 1960's. I have a transmission mechanic/company that I use that is family owned. I have replaced 4 transmissions over the years on various cars and trucks. If you don’t, they didn’t do a flush.[/QUOTE Just make sure you have an invoice with 12qts of fluid listed. Wasn’t bad considering 12qts of fluid was the majority of the cost. I’d have to pull out my receipt, but Toyota dealer did it earlier this year for 2 something if I remember correctly. Just speculation that contaminates can break loose and cause issues. Rumor is 100k and under full flush is recommended - higher mileage, pan drain and refill. My opinion: you replace every other fluid in the vehicle, why wouldn’t you replace the transmission fluid? You’ll hear all sorts of things when it comes to the transmission and fluid. Repeat this process 1 or 2 more times over the next couple weeks for a solid fluid change. turn off vehicle and remove paperclips from the thermostat and OBD2 port. You have the correct level of fluid now.ġ4. When that happens put the drain bolt back on. Once the fluid is the correct temp, undo the overfill bolt and let any excess fluid drain until the flow slows to a dribble. If its just right, D light will stay on and you know the fluid is the correct temp.ġ3. If D light disappears, the fluid is too cold. Move your shifter from D to N about once per second until the D light stays on when you go back to N.ġ2. lights should flash all over your dash.ġ1. use a paperclip and stick one end in the fourth terminal and one end in the 13th terminal.ġ0. A small hand pump can help a lot with this.ĩ. Use a similar quantity as what drained out + what was remaining in the pan when you dropped it. Refill with transmission fluid (only use Toyota WS ATF) via the fill hole. Spray inside of pan with brake clean and be sure to clean the magnets.Ĩ. ![]() Another 1/2 quart or so should be in pan.ĥ. Be careful not to damage gasket if you're prying pan off and wanting to re-use gasket. You may need to pry the pan off if its stuck. remove all fasteners for the pan and drop pan. Open drain bolt just like you would for an oil change. Loosen fill bolt, all fasteners for the pan, drain bolt, and overfill plug.ģ. Find transmission cooler thermostat and pin the button shut by pressing the button with a screwdriver and keeping it pinned by threading a small paperclip thru the holesĢ.
