      Thanks for the video, I just subbed your channel.
      Quick question, I'm thinking about just measuring exactly how much fluid drains out after removing both plug and straw. Then adding that exact amount back in. My camry has 40k and the transmission is working great. So it seems as long as I'm comfortable/confident that the fluid level is correct now then it should be the same afterwards correct?

      @@18whlsrolin I changed trans fluid 6 times on my 2012 Camry bought with 93400 miles on the odometer and no trans maintenance. Car has been running better. I followed the same method offered in this video. Fluid color looked a little better after the 5th change but still not clear red. Work was done at the same time at each change - early in the morning, same jack stand height, 2 quarts out, 2 quarts in as measured. At the 3rd change the hex hole of the drain plug got rounded upon tightening and I had to pay dealer 7 dollars for a new plug. To save the hex hole I use it only for torquing at tightening on the 4th, 5th and 6th change. To open the plug, I carefully used a vise grip, which left a couple of bite marks on the soft plug. I used new gaskets on the plugs at each change.

    This video was very helpful to me when I bought my 93400-mile 2012 Camry with no trans maintenance record. I followed the presented method, and used the same funnel holding vise that rested on top of the battery. I changed the fluid 6 times, always first thing in the morning to be sure fluid is cold - same jack stand height always. 2 quarts out and 2 quarts in. Car then ran better. When I tightened and torqued the drain plug at the 3rd change the hex hole got rounded. Replacement plug from dealer cost only 7 dollars. I then used a vise grip each time I opened the soft plug, and saved the hole only for tightening with torque spec. The vise grip left a couple of bite marks but did no harm. I intend to leave the fluid pan and filter alone. Many thanks to NOBOX7! I have subscribed!

      @B B I bought a 2012 Camry with TC shudder just a few months ago. 170k miles on it and if I had mentioned the shudder to the dealer before I bought it they more than likely would've replaced it for free, but as I didn't I had to call them back and they gave me a 50% off deal for the procedure that replaces the TC. Runs much better without the shudder but I'm sure the original owner never changed the transmission fluid so I notice slightly hard shifts when the transmission is cold but they almost disappear completely when warm.

    Thanks for the info. I did the same thing I was scratching my head. Got to love RUclips. Mine has been shifting hard when turning corners. So I went to check the fluid and you know what happens from there. LOL I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. I have a 2010 we got used with about 150k. that's the one I'm working on. And I also have a 1999 we bought new it has 439k on it and still going , changed the tranny fluid 3 times. But that is not saying that you don't need to change your tranny fluid. I have since learned the importance of keeping the fluid clean. I change it now every 100k . their are some very good videos on here that explains when to change and what will happen when you don't . you will know just by the color of the fluid. And most people don't think to change the rear differential oil, Of course if you have a rear wheel drive. I can't tell you how many I've opened up and the oil was silver. The oil would get low or lose it's viscosity and the bearing all start wearing out. I like to change it every 100k also. and jack it up very high in the back when filling to allow more fluid to go in . because it also lubes the outer wheel bearings. but be safe when jacking it up very high and getting under the vehicle. This might sound crazy but some time back I cut down a tree in my yard. and I cut some 24 inch high pieces of wood thats about 18 inchs wide. better than any jack stand. My cousin was smashed when his truck fell on him in the dirt. never use jack stands in the dirt . he was pinned for hours he had to dig his self out from under the truck with a broken back. Always be safe. Jack it up then shake the car try to make it fall. then go under.

    I have a 2013 Camry. Completed four drain and fills. Remove the drain plug and straw and 2.5 quarts come out every time. Put the straw and drain plug back on. Add exactly 2.5 quarts. Car will shift fine and run smooth every time. It is an aisin transmission. I have used Mobil Toyota WS for the first two drain and fills. I used Ravenol WS Toyota for the next two drain and fills. Car runs great. The Ravenol Toyota WS is a PAO Group 4 ATF full synthetic. The Mobil Toyota WS is not full synthetic. A full synthetic will not oxidize as quickly as a non synthetic.
    In my 2001 Camry which is still running and shifting fine, I have used the Mobil one ATF Synthetic. I regret Mobil One is not offering synthetic ATF WS for the new Toyota WS transmissions.

    In several cases, if you have a shuddering issue in your transmission, changing the fluid will mitigate the issue. Use caution however because changing the fluid in an older transmission with a substantial amount of miles on it may actually cause failure.

Now when the car has set over night it kinda jerks and the rpm hand bounces when drove for the first time. Didn't have this trouble before. Dealership says they can't get it to do it after keeping it for 2 weeks. I gave them a video of it doing it. Now I'm fighting with them to make it right. So right now the extra warranty we bought is doing us no good.

    Easy way.. Just remove the fill plug. Disconnect the transmission return line. Stick a hose on it. Stick the hose a bucket. Start the car and start filling the transmission while it runs in park. When you see the new fluid coming out. Turn off the car. Clean the Standpipe.. Stick it back in. Fill to proper level. Put the drain bolt on. You're done. 100% fluid change.

    My Mother in Law had her transmission serviced recently. Started leaking fluid from the breather and was all over the engine bay. She was told she needed to replace her transmission and was quoted 3k. I told her I would look into it. Her transmission was running great before it was serviced. Turns out the shop overserviced it was extra tranny fluid. My brother had a scanner that read the transmission temp and you are correct. 104 F is where you take your measurement until the fluid stops draining at the drain plug with the straw installed. The Avalon is running great and no more tranny leaks.

    If you can get to the lines going into the cooler remove them place a tube on the end of entry line and into new bottle. Place a tube on exit line into empty bottle. Now have a helper start car while you keep an eye on new trans fluid bottle until almost empty as you don't want to pull air into transmission. Repeat process with new bottles until you see new fluid coming out of exit line. Turning car off between bottles and as soon as you see new fluid come out of exit line.

      Great idea but the benefit of removing the drain plug is that any microscopic debris (metal shavings etc.) that have settled at the bottom of the pan and will flush with the fluid. A pump might help remove the fluid, but maintenance wise, the plug route will have a better impact on removing said debris.

    Few things - transfer pump totally unnecessary using the funnel like you did works fine I’m not sure why yours is so slow mine goes fast. It’s a 24 mm fill bolt. Removing the drain bolt and the straw typically gets you about 2 quarts of fluid which is what you seem to have shown. If you feel that level was correct to begin with add 4-6 more ounces than you drained so that when you do the fluid check procedure you’ll definitely get some drainage. Make sure that you screw the straw back in properly. The straw goes in relatively easy then goes through a period of what I consider tightness and then gets easy again. Point is the straw after its flush with the pan will get another several turns before it bottoms out well within the drain plug hole. After the bottom head of the straw is flush with the pan I get an additional nine revolutions before it bottoms out on my Highlander. If you haven’t put the straw in properly the drain bolt won’t go back in properly either. Just remember it goes in fairly deep before bottoming out. You mentioned a flush and it’s fairly easy it doesn’t take a whole lot more time than this process. Remove the return line to the tranny that comes from the radiator or the external ATF cooler. Hook up a vinyl tube to that line and put it in a bucket that you can see the measurements on. Start the car allow the engine to pump 1 to 2 quarts of fluid out. Turn off the car. Fill the car with what you removed. Repeat this two or three times or until you’re happy with the fluid coming out being new. On the last fill add 4-8 ounces of additional fluid and do the temperature check at 104 deg while the car is in park and running and level. Straightforward and pretty easy to do. Thanks for posting

    @TM_Stone 4 года назад +1

    Many things were left out of this video to do it properly to include the biggest one is your car needs to be level. Just jacked up in the front and your fluid amount will be way off. Started off strong with the great drawing of the overflow tube and correct fill temp but it all went downhill from there. "You add the new transmission fluid by removing the fluid level dipstick, and inserting a narrow-mouthed funnel into the dip stick tube." Uh, there isn't a dipstick or tube for that matter, it's a fill plug.

    • @HandyTim
      @HandyTim 3 года назад

      A flush is not bad for the transmission unless the transmission has already started slipping. Flushing the transmission removes micro particles of metal from wear on the transmission due to hotrodding or wear and tear from not replacing fluid every 50,000 miles. Fluid should be flushed and replaced every 50,000 miles on any vehicle as well as changing the filter. I've seen well taken care of transmissions get to 500,000 miles or more.

    PROBLEM...The fluid is running higher than 190°F much of the time and has gone as high as 226°F recently after climbing a long hill and shifting back and forth from 3rd and 4th a number of times.
    What to do? The Toyota dealer wants to do a reverse power flush. I'm very reluctant to do that.

    I never "flush" any fluid. Drain and replace. The only filters i replace are oil, air, cabin air and fuel. Never trans filters.

    Thank you so much for your video...I have a company work car 2015 Camry , and it makes a humming sound while accelerating, WHY would Toyota make something like this ! ??? that has NO dip stick ! (so you can spend $$$ at the dealer ???)

    do you have any idea why Camry's like the model in your video all seem to have this problem where the 'traction light', "ABS light" and "Emergency Brake" light all come on and stay on? So many Camry's have this problem..??

      Anthony James it’s a throttle body electrical issue. Replace throttle body

      Programmed to do this. Just pull codes and fix. Read my other post earlier in comments. All my lights came on at 77K and it was my upper A/F sensor so I changed both the A/F and the O2 sensor and lights have been off ever since. 138K. Currently

    Can you just measure what you took out and put that back in without having to check the level.

      Yes. That's why he put the old fluid in the plastic jug and you will want to mark where the old fluid tops. Pour the old into another container and put the new fluid in the container with the mark. That's the best way to get it close, being there is no dipstick.
