Thanks for the video man, I'm trying to keep my 07 tc alive and this is the next step. great angles under the car.
is your tc still alive?
Is it ?
Lol it lived but I sold her some years ago. Thanks again!
@@pablomoreno1206 What was the mileage on it when you sold it? i have a 08 auto tC, also trying to make it last. currently at 157k miles.
@@slugzkea mine was puttering at the 200k range
actually do more videos on scion tc they are very helpful
scion tc 05- 2010
thank yu
To replace the filter do i need to drain out all the oil first? Might be a dumb question
Yeah there is no way to get to the filter without the oil coming out.
@ aww and i just got an oil change
@tony9099 are you talking about the engine oil filter or transmission filter?
@ the transmission filter, well i went to get an oil change and they said i also needed a transmission filter change but i said no i thought i could do it myself, or i have no idea what im talking about is an oil change and transmission different things
@ very different things
I am having trouble getting a hot reading on the dipstick is it ok to go off the cold reading as the line is clear first thing before turning the engine. Noticed it is above the cold reading does that mean it has too much?
Great video, I am embolden. Thanks
+Robert Suffecool glad to help. Good luck
Guess i need to do mine as well since im on 135 thanks for the video
My 2007 tC is 100k miles. What brand is your filter and how much it cost?
+Dennis Vuong you do not have to change it but it's cheap insurance if you're already changing the fluid,

Good video, thanx. Did you replace the pan gasket with a new one?
Yes
What’s the refill level?
@@AlbertoGonzalez.. Oh man. It's been a while since I've done this. I think it was about 4 qts because I ended up buying a whole caae of Toyota brand fluid and I've got 4 qts on the shelf. Looking back, I won't do this job again. It's easy enough as this video shows, but it can get quite messy if you're doing it in your driveway. And the mess and disposal of the old fluid isn't worth it imho. Also, the pan gasket screws are installed with factory red Loctite. So, they can be really hard to get off.
Can you please do a video on the AC control panel? I recently got a new one but when I connect it and turn on the car the control panel doesn’t turn on and I can’t use the AC at all. PLEASE HELP 🙏🏽🙏🏽
You have to remove the control head, take it apart and rub alcohol on the circuit board. The waterfall will most likely crack.
@juanito_2sad437
What drain plug did you get as a replacement? Is there a certain size/specification? Google isn’t helping me unless i’m overthinking. Thanks in advance.
he meant replace as in put back in the pan
Thank you..you are Awsome!!
What happens if you accidently over fill it??
And what would need to be done if that happened?
Overheating of the fluid and/ or fluid aeration is the most likely result. Unfortunately there is no graceful or easy way to remove a little bit of fluid, extracting it though the dipstick tube is one way.
@@jecustoms52 couldn't I just open the drain plug and let a little out??? Would that be an option??
You could, just hard to meter how much you are removing and stop it quickly without making a mess
What was pan torque?
Pan torque is 6 ft/lbs.
Filter torque is 8 ft/lbs.
I've got a manual, anyone know if they use a different filter from the automatic model?
Is 90,000 miles to late to change transmission fluid for the first time, will transmission be damaged if changed because of mileage?
There is no way to tell if there is going to be an issue or not but I changed mine after that.
No it's not too late.
That stuff stinks. You really just heroed through that job lol. Great vid
The cap on my scion says not to change the transmission fluid .Ever .I know some cars can get damaged if you do .Scion TC is one of them .Anyome have info on that .
Rogelio Hernandez i don't have any info but i will say all fluids eventually wear out. Depending on how you drive and where you drive you might be able to get away with not changing your fluid for some years. If your transmission starts to shift funny you can try to change the fluid and hopefully that works. Personally i do mine every 100k with a tuneup. My current car now has just over 200k with no issues.
Rogelio Hernandez
Rodelio we live in the beautiful time when long lasting cars are not profitable capitalism what can you do. it should be changed at 60k drain and fill only never flush. Russians do it every 40k miles or 60k kilometers. If you can do it then do it, I personally had volvo 2001 with 100k on it transmission started shifting rough, oil change fixed it, drives good still may glitch once in a while but totally can last another 60k, dealer said don't change it or you'll ruin it. I suggest if it was done at 60 maybe I wouldn't have problem with transmission since in 2001 volvo was buying Aisin transmissions (transmission manufacturer for Toyota) I'll probably do transmission oil change video on 2011 scion tc. I just never thought somebody would be interested in it.
I have a scion tc 2013 it has 138k miles, i just got a new engine with 78k miles, should i change the transmission oil?
I always think it is a good idea to keep fresh fluid in the trans before it gives you a problem. A lot of people think it is bad to change after 100+k miles if it hasn’t been changed before.
I have a 2015 Scion tc manual trans, with 72K miles, does it have a filter? Because i was planning to change fluid.
It should not have a filter
Thank you, nice video.
A question to the group here. Seems there is always one bolt that you can't get to. There is one on the 2013 TC transmission pan that a subframe part is in the way of. I'm guessing I need to jack up the engine slightly but wanted to get confirmation. What do you think?
That’s the fluid check bolt, take that down with a hex, that just to drain, but remember you also need to open the fill plug and and drain plug to allow all of it out … and since there is no dip stick you need to either pump it up from the bottom or fill it from the top fill plug, try filling to 3 quarts and leaving the cock Pan open while having the car on
What kind of blue is that color of your car ?
I am not sure the exact color. It is a tc rs 2.0 edition.
I'm having a code p0741 "torque converter clutch solenoid circuit performance or stuck off"
Change the sensor pieces, torque and other one. It's just 2 of them
Very helpful. Thanks.
Hello after change transmission fuild does your transmission break down within 2 weeks or a month or a year yet ? Or it's still runs good
This one is fine. I have heard stories about people having those issues but have never experienced it myself. I think most of those stories come from people who are having issues with their transmission in the first place and are hoping a fluid change will save it.
@@jecustoms52 what if you over flow put in too much transmission fuild let's say its 3 quart then u put extra half quart in it ?
how do i do this in a 2006 manual transmission. I CANT FIND THE DIPSTICK
Did you ever figure out how to do this. I’m just as lost with my 2006 manual tc
Manual transmission doesn’t have dip sticks
Does anyone know the torque specs for the trans pan bolts??
Do you know what the torque specs for the filter bolts and then the pan bolts?
I do not sorry
@@jecustoms52 No worries.. I found it in the Camry forums since they share the same automatic transmission. So for the filter bolts it's 8 ft/lbs and for the pan bolts it's 6 ft/lbs.
Do they have the torque pattern on there?
@@shahalaescano5079 as long as your torque it in a criss-cross pattern you should be fine.. Not sure if they have a specific bolt pattern.
Hello How are you? How many quart did you put in that 2006 Scion TC? Because I put 3.7 quarts Toyota ATF Type-IV and then I put the rest of 4 quarts in total because it wasnt on the hot mark after it has been driven over 1 or 2 hours. It still below the hot mark after 4qts. Do you think my rear engine mount is very bad that cause my ATF Type-IV is not on hot level mark on the dipstick? Because it happen to my in the past and then i replaced my rear engine mount and then it got on hot level mark. Or can it the transmission dipstick is not a OEM parts? I got this car used from someone else. Let me know ASAP. Thank you. @John Elliott
Unfortunately I do not fully know the answer. A motor mount could cause it to some extent but I would check the level at cold too and see what that shows. If it is good at cold I would leave it alone. Overfull can cause it to leak out the vent
@@jecustoms52 I check the transmission dipstick when the engine is cold it is on the hot mark level on the dipstick. Is that good or bad? When engine is running it is hot it is under hot mark level. I am thinking replacing the rear front engine mount like the one u replaced and to see of the level will changed because to happen to my 2005 scion xb. I know overfill will ruin the transmission and the pump. Thank you @John Elliott
When you are checking it cold is the engine running and in park? The cold level check should be performed the same way as warm, just before it has run for too long.
@@jecustoms52 I check when the engine is not running it is on a little over hot mark level and then when engine is running it is little under hot mark level and both of them in ground level in park. Is it good or bad on the mark level? I am sorry to bother you and thanks for your respond and help from you. My fluid of transmission is total up to 4.5quarts now. Is it correct? Because owner manual say 3.7quarts. It seems odd. Let me know ASAP. Thank you. @John Elliott
Check the trans fluid with the engine running on level ground in park.
I have cion 2010 90 thousand miles should I change the filter too??
I always change the filter if I am taking the time to change the fluid. It just provided a little better piece of mind that it has been done
What oil did you put on it?
Type t transmission fluid
how do you position the magnets?
There are markings in the oil pan that show where they go.
does the fluid pan gasket require silicone to seal?
+Rudy Salas no, it is actually not recommended to put it on this style gasket
John Elliott i work on my hondas and so i am unfamiliar with toyotas. i just bought an xb and it seems the same like the tc. but good to know that i dont have to add silicone, it makes the job messier. thank you
+Rudy Salas yes Hondas are sealed up mostly with hondabond sealant, the Toyotas/ scions are a little different, thank you for the comments, I just ask you give the video a like.
Soft gaskets usually don't require a separate sealant, they're soft for a reason. Looking at the video the gasket looks pretty soft. Proper torquing is important here as not torquing all but one or two bolts with not enough force might get you a leak.
What was the mileage on your TC when you changed the transmission fluid?
It was 150-160ish
@@jecustoms52 did you notice any difference in shifting? my 08 auto tC I did a fluid change recently but forgot about the filter. It kinda sticks when shifting sometimes...overall not so bad but I feel I should do it again and replace the filter this time. my scion has 150k'esh miles on it.
@@danaquatics4031 there was no noticeable difference to the shifting after the fluid change, I would make sure you have enough fluid in there.
@@jecustoms52 Did you change the fluid at any point before this change?
I did not. Acquired used
The Owner's Manual doesn't say anything about recommending changing Transmission fluid every 60k miles. Are you sure that is a good idea?
I have a 2015 xB with about 27k on it, I use it a lot. I have been researching the Toyota WS ATF, seems that most (not all) Toyota enthusiasts agree that this fluid is crap, many Toyota guys replace their WS right away with something like Redline D4/D6 or Valvoline MaxLife ATF. Plenty of other alternatives to WS out there. The problem isn't the filter or the internal parts, it's the fluid, WS breaks down easily and in no time your getting the dreaded "red light bump." WS ATF, IMO, should be flushed every 25k-30k, depending on weather and driving conditions. For example, a 70 year old lady in Florida that drives her Scion/Toyota 3 times a week to bingo and 2 times a week to Publix, putting 5000 miles a year on the ODO, may not need an ATF change EVER. Up here in Jersey, our winters go down to 0F and our summers up to 100F+. I drive tri-state, includes all the hills in PA and stop and go traffic in major cities like NYC for example. I can easily cook my ATF. Every car that uses oils/fluids, all of them need to be changed eventually, no such thing as "lifetime fluids" unless you live in a fantasy world where the clouds are made of cotton candy and the tree bark is really dark chocolate.
Its fine there's never any harm doing maintenance to a car. I changed my 08 tc after 30k cause used an i like to know my cars history now 95k runs great but probably change again because didn't do the filter last time.
@@justacinnamonbun8658
I'm also from the NJ - PA area. We have a 2009 RAV4 w/ 2.5 liter four cylinder and 4-speed automatic. I have Scangauge to monitor ATF temperature. There is one route with a long hill that comes into our city. We don't travel it often but last time we came home on that route the ATF went up to 226°F. Those temperatures cook the ATF. Once the ATF is damaged it doesn't perform as well at both lubrication and dissipating heat. Yesterday we had a transmission cooler installed. I'm hoping that will make a difference. Last year I did a single drain and fill on the tranny and yesterday a second one was done (less than 17,000 miles between them).
hi how fluid 4 litre -1galon its ok not to much ?
+Joh Ny it might not take all of it, pour 3 quarts, then check level and top up accordingly
John Elliott ok tnx I out old fluid and put the some level new oil .My new question inside stay a little bit old oil in conventer transmision thats is not problem with new fluid ?
+Joh Ny no a little old fluid should be fine, as long as you keep up with regular changes.
John Elliott my next question I have problem with my scion tc 2006 automanic hi lost a power aceleration is very bad ,one day is ok and one day bad its lottery sometimes car wake up but not to long .When is bad I must slowly push pedal gas and its better but when I harder push pedal gas lost accelerator .computer dont see check error
My oil on transmision is old dark color ,my milage 74 .000mil ,I thing never change fluid first driver
do scion tc 2005 operate with transmission bands?
+John Cajahuaringa I am not entirely sure how these specific transmissions work sorry.
HI great video
can u do video of stering wheel flush thanks
+Gabriela Carrillo I don't currently need the steering serviced but I will include a link to a forum post discussing this topic, hope it helps and thanks for the comment.

Don't all the Scions & Yaris have electric PS?? Toyota is moving away from hydraulic PS.
@@justacinnamonbun8658 Not really. Over 2008 and up Scion XB, XD and Toyota Yaris is Electric PS but 2008 and under still have hyd. PS.
What's the year on this tc?
06
@@jecustoms52 what type of trans fluid does the 06 tc require?
Type T
Man I hate the 2012 and up, there is no easy way to put it transmission fluid just … have to take driver side wheel up level it and and find the drain plug and fill plug … that’s just BS Im Toyota’s design
Where the hell you put the new oil?
Through the transmission dipstick hole
So with new filter for a refill 3 quarts maybe lil more ?
What's the trick to getting the old fluid out of the cooling lines
Without an actual flush machine the best you can do is disconnect everything and hope for most of it to bleed down into the pan, more frequent changes will slowly make sure there is less original fluid present.
