Drain and fill for life. Been with Toyota over a decade. Put in what you take out every time
Hey Vinnie , I found your channel by accident . I’ll never forget you were always the level headed guy on OCC !! You continued to work through all the Chaos in that toxic environment . Your a good guy and well respected.
He is so wrong on this one 😂
Vin, I don’t know if you’re reading this. But my guy, thank you so very much for taking the time to make an easily understandable video and to show us step-by-step!! That’s invaluable my brother! Thank you so much for your time
Makes it look way easier then it is but that’s what years of experience does
My Pleasure my friend
@@dimartinoindustries6026 click! lol...right on point my brother
Vinny, I had no idea you had a RUclips channel. You were one of my favorite people in OCC. I am about to do my wife's trans fluid. Thank you so much for making this video and for you time!!
From the UK here, it is that easy & i'm no mechanic by far. I got a 2015 1.3L Yaris CVT with 88,000m 2 yrs ago (I assumed it was never done) I did a drain & re-fill 2x in 2 weeks. Rather than taking the plastic cover off by the inner wheel arch i used a 24mm spanner from top of engine bay,used a garden hose pipe & a funnel to pour in the fluid like in your movies about college kids at a party,them going "Chug,chug,chug", there is room there for me. The fluid i used was the proper Toyota FE,cost £58 for 5L bottle & that's why i did 2x drain n refill....each drain was 2.2L. It drives smooth as silk 2yrs later.
awesome video Vinnie! Getting ready to change the trans fluid on my 2019 Camry with 80k on it. The dealership wanted $700 for the fluid change. I'm mechanically inclined so, no way am I paying that for fluid changing. Love how you keep it real and straight forward.
About to do my wife RX with 88k. Debating whether to change the filter too?
Yeah, my dealer quoted me $600. No thanks. $55 for 4 quarts of Toyota WS, and I did it myself.
I agree with that comment for sure
When Vinnie left OCC, it was a huge loss in my opinion. Superb all around mechanic, diagnostics guy & fabricator. Salute to you Vinnie.
He showed up in my feed. Thank you for saying that, was driving me mad. I know this guy! Where have I seen him before 😂😂
SOB
Was it this guy I somewhat know brother? No. Hmm gotta be the guy from the shop from the town over. No hmm
Lmao I know the face and voice but couldn’t figure where. 🤯
Oh man, thank you! I'm sittin here like, where do I know this guys from? Did I work with him a long time ago?! Freakin Vinnie from OCC!!! Unreal. Talk about a blast from the past! 😅
You explained the procedure properly sir!!very good
Saweet I found the Vinnie Channel!
Confirmed: True Automotive Authority!
Great video.... tells you exactly what you need to know. Just did my 2017 Sienna. 3 quarts out, 3 quarts back in.
Vinnie!!! So glad to see you still out there and active!
Owned a transmission shop for 25 years...and you are right, the whole "never service it or it will blow", bullshit. The reason people think this is the transmission is acting up, they service it hoping it will cure a problem...it will not. And when it does fail completely, they blame the fluid change.
Vin looks great....notice how direct and to the point of the matter he is with exactly the correct info . OCC wuda been nothing without him
I'm almost certain that you need to measure the fluid to a trickle within a specific temperature (105F-115F) to make sure that you don't take out too much when the oil expands. This transmission typically drains 2.5qt of fluid from the pan. Also, that tube you pulled out is not for show-and-tell. It's part of the official procedure to check the transmission fluid level when the temperature is between the specific range. Car Care Nut does a very good job at explaining in detail how to drain and fill this same exact transmission with the 2ARFE engine on a 2016 Toyota Camry. I recommend anyone to also take the time to watch his video before moving forward with the maintainence.
"How to change your Toyota Sealed transmission" by Car Care Nut
105 to 115 is the right temperature to check it at.
I don't know what you mean by "show-and-tell" - you don't remove much fluid unless the overflow tube is removed, and it's essential to remove it if you're dropping the pan to replace the filter.
@@atticstattic Vinny says the only purpose of that tube is to indicate where the fluid sits while the car is at operating temperature, so he's basically telling us that the tube is useless to the procedure, right? Showing us the tube and telling us that it serves no real purpose in the demonstration. The tube has a purpose. You need to make sure that after draining by removing both plug and plastic tube with a 6mm hex drive, put both back on, add about 3 quarts back into the transmission, and either use a temp gun (in a very specific area of the transmission pan) OBD2 scanner or the official Toyota procedure to find the temperature range that many have already said.
Please refer to an actual Toyota technician for a deeper analysis on changing the transmission fluid in a sealed case. I own a 2ARFE engine and do all of my own maintainence with the guidance of Car Care Nut.
It's not rocket science, and I would appreciate it if you didn't respond to this comment because I'm not here to educate or debate you on this.
@@junglejuice23
You agreed with me in your original comment and now you're _disagreeing_ !?
Reading comprehension is essential- work on it.
I love what you do for us. No one else tells it so honest and with confidence.
Woah! We need more of these type videos Vinnie! Man.. how time flies! Remember when you were in that toxic work place on TV. Lol
Thanks for this video. this video gave me the confidence to do the transmission fluid change myself. there are other videos out there, which show you a complicated procedure getting the transmission in the right temperature range (with a very small margin of a couple of degrees). I can't imagine that with a manual that explains about self-service so much that this is really so complicated.
Anyway, I did it, and my transmission is more 'alive' now, shifts back quicker and smoother. it was necessary despite it has only 30.000miles on the odometer after 6 years. greetings from Europe with an american imported 2017 Toyota Sienna (8 speed)
Remove the fill plug first. Just in case you can't get it off.
Blah
Agree. You are screwed after you drain and find that you can't remove that 24 mm.
Smart tip; thanks!
Us Technicians have to get everything off . You just end up making more money.
Diy
I would add onto the advice Vinnie gave by strongly suggesting that you FIRST crack (but there is no need to fully open) the fill plug BEFORE you open the drain plug and drop the old fluid. If that fill plug is seized there is no point in draining the old fluid if you cannot fill with new - you shouldn't drive the car with no fluid.
Now Vinnie stated he did this exact service earlier so he knows that the fill opens and he is the one who torqued that fill plug the last time. For others - possibly doing this service for the first time - crack the fill first as it could be torqued from the factory or torqued by some newbie mechanic or Quick Change tech. It might save you a tow to a shop with a lift and possibly specialized tools to extract the seized fill plug.
you can use an impact wrench to get it off, but hand tight to put it back on.
I been a tech for 11 years. Your honesty is extremely admirable. Hard to find tech like us anymore.. 💯
What type of technician are you? Im pretty sure there are 100's of thousands like you
Vinnie, it's awesome to see u doing so well. Looking forward to seeing ur videos in the future
You will under-fill it if you open up the drain (with orange pipe installed) if the transmission is anything hotter than just barely warm. ...... You are supposed to run the car, and get the TFT (tranny fluid temperature) on the OBD scan tool to read between 104F to 113F when you are letting excess fluid spill down the installed vertical orange pipe here. Also, make sure you shift into D and R a couple of times while it's running to get fluid into all the circuits. The required range of 104F to 113F is barely warm for a tranny. ..... Notice that full hot operating temperature (150F to 190F or so) is TOO HOT for the orange pipe, so if you do that you under-fill the thing.
You are right, it more complicated that what is shown in this video.
generally, if the car is relatively cool or barely warm and if you pour in roughly the same amount that came out, with a tiny bit extra 50-100ml, it's fine.
nothing will happen. shift it through the gears after before going for a drive, and you're good to go.
This dick does not do any reaction to what people write to him
@@snivvelslurderagementai2560that’s what I did my car was sitting for 2 days I drained and filled I put back exactly what came out
This was great! I’d bet you would have an immensely popular series of DIY car maintenance. There’s a lot of guys like me who just never got into or had the time to be handy around cars, I’d love to be able to do more on my own. Take care!
and so many cars have NO drain plug. So it's off with the pan and putting a new gasket,magnet and filter in. That is not so easy. However, if you had that done a while back, now you can buy a pump and stick the hose down the dip stick and suck it out.
Well wow, Finally You Tube recommended an excellent content Chanel instead of the usual TikTok junk. Great to see you Vinnie, dam a little time has slipped by since watching OCC. Love this kind of content Subscribed and liked right away. Keep the videos coming, don’t ever think they won’t want to see this or that, if it involves using tools it is worth watching. I can see you smashing that 100K button soon, no problem.
I'm from the UK,i learned from guys like this on youtube & did a few jobs on my cars over the years...saved so much! I just invested in some tools & carry them in a laptop bag. I did this job myself, i panicked but followed this & other vids,nothing to worry about.
Imagine, your father or other family member is a mechanic (& one you know won’t cut corners) & treats your car, the way he’d treat his! But Vic, even though we’re not related… I wish you were my mechanic. Liability, honesty & quality etc., generally aren’t words you can use for the average mechanic
Hey Vinnie, great to see you again. Stumbled across this by accident. Nice to see your calm demeanor outside of that old toxic environment. Stay in it man.
vinnie great to see you on utube! since the occ days, great work! god bless
Vinnie, did you know you had a fan base in NICARAGUA?, Wooow! I found you channel out of luck! So happy to see you're doing good I remember you use to be the guy to fix or complete the repairs when everyone else was done and gone The great Guy everyone should have learned from!
I never knew Vinnie was so naturally funny!!! Great video. He knows his stuff.
Can’t believe it’s been 20 years since I first watched you and jr building custom bikes.
Had me nervous for a sec lol. I've been adding fluid 1st with dipstick plug in it, then turn vehicle on and raise it back up then fill it again when the trans is at running temperature. But I think I'll be doing it ur way now, it is just as efficient and faster too. Ur a great mechanic brother Vin 👍
Those Words Of DiMartino Wisdom WITH a sip of coffee afterwards are Priceless AND Comical too! Great share Vinnie. No surprise you helping your daughter with her car and in the process teach her and your other children the Number One Rule of Ownership....Take Care Of What You Have AND It Will Take Care Of You! We should ALL be so lucky to have a Friend or neighbor like yourself Vinnie! Cheers From Ohio to You Vinnie and Your Fan Base in here!
We need more mechanics like you vin
It’s cool to see I’m not the only one who’s not scared to get in there and make it happen. Also cool to see you again. And I whole heartedly agree about Toyota. That’s all I’ve driven for years. I have a 2006 scion XB with 327k
Good to see you in a calmer situation.
I like the way you explane how to do drain n refill transfluid on a Toyota Camry no dipstick watching you from Los Angeles you have a good day master techI
That guy right is Orange County chopper and is one hell of a mechanic Thank you Vinnie
Just ran across this randomly and it’s great to Vinnie again. Subscribed!
Vinnie, Thank you Sir great Video... I've had great results using Amsoil Fuel Efficient ATF in my 2013 Tacoma.. For people who don't know it is a low viscosity ATF just like the Toyota World Standard ATF.. Only a far more superior product In opinion.. Not knocking on Toyota WS, just like it because its a step up in fluid quality..
Maxlife for me. Never an issue.
@@cyoungso Always good to hear what everyone is using
I also use Amsoil Signature Series ATF ony 06 Toyota sequoia 4WD.
Change fluid and filter every 20,000 miles drain and fill drive it 10 miles and drain and fill. I do this three time and that's when I see full cherry red color as it drains. That's when I know I have about 90% old fluid out and replacing with clean
AMSOIL is the best.
@@Costarica-mq8el Does your 06 Sequoia have a strainer or a common paper filter
I’m glad to find your channel, really enjoyed you and Rick on the show, I stopped by your shop a few years back, but unfortunately you weren’t there at that time, would have liked to say hi. To bad your shop is on the other side of the state from us, I am a muscle car fanatic, and as I recall, you have an interest in the older muscle cars. I have one left, a 1972 W-30 442, that I ordered new in 72. If we ever travel to your corner of the state again, I will try to say hi again. Be safe.
Dude, you're the only person ive seen with a straightforward drain and fill Toyota transmission video. Everyone else is doing all kinds of crazy bs.
Drain and fill - only for dummies. Most of dirty fluid will stay in transmission
@@AlexV-pf3io you don't want to completely drain all fluid, that material in the fluid is actually clutch material and helps. When the debate is lost slander becomes the tool of the loser.
@@donniev8181 Sludge is clutch material?..
@@AlexV-pf3io not sludge, the particles that make up the sludge is actually clutch pack material. The proper way of changing your ATF fluid is to do several drain and fills. You do one drain/fill, then drive the vehicle for a few miles, then you do another, you repeat this process 3 or 4 times. What you actually want to do is replenish your cars transmission fluid, you never flush the system. When you have a transmission flushed, you run the risk of forcing that material into places it would've never normally went and then you're screwed.
@@donniev8181 Тhank you. But by flushing you mean method with the use of flush machine or natural way of draining with engine running and disconnected trans. cooling line?
He makes it looks very simple. Others make it more complicated
I’m sure Vin is happier doing this stuff than the BS he had to put up with on the show, but I sure miss him and Paul Jr doing some of the most creative entertaining shit on television.
OCC is the best thing that ever happened to Vin.
Robert Fernandez Are you guys buddies?
OCC pauls were all fake, just acting
@@stoweman34 No, but who would care about what he is doing if he hadn’t worked at OCC.
Way Happer!!!
glad to see you're still at it. it's better to be doing something than nothing at all also this video helped me learn something new and save some $$$.
Thanks my man. Very helpful. About to change my 2011 Sienna transmission fluid. Maintenance place wanted $380.
Vinny , Good to see you doing your own thing after the OCC bs.
Glad to see you're doing well. OCC was a trash show and I was glad you got away from that Hollywood filth.
Nice job Vin 👏 👍.
Correct procedure given....must watch to the end.
I like using the cooler lines to get all the fluid out. Pump out 5 quarts from the cooler lines, put 5 quarts in. Repeat 2 to 3 times and youve got fresh fluid throughout the whole trans and torque converter
Yupz this is where we want Vinnie! 🌹♥️⭐😄
Keep making content, i wish there was more from the old OCC crew.
hi Vin just bought a 2020 avalon with 3100 miles for 30,000$ first avalon and love it,getting 31MPG on V6....stay safe
I had a twin turbo bmw as my daily, it sits in the driveway now. I bought an 02 Toyota Highlander with 160k miles and it runs smooth as butter.
Vinnie you seem like a genuine guy.
Hey Ven didn't know you had a channel and when I seen it I just had to watch because I knew it would be informative and must be my lucky day because I have a Dodge Caliber with no dipstick and they're bad about overheating in summer and I been worrying bout getting it changed. I had a mechanic but died from COVID and he really was a good one and honest one too. He told me he wouldn't fool with changing the fluid because there wasn't anyway for him to know exactly how much came out and was afraid wrong amount may do damage. At the beginning of your video you were talking about knowing how much to put back in and then after your fluid had stopped draining into the mop bucket you said ahh that's about 2 and half maybe 3 quarts and then when you went to check the dipstick after you filled it and as you were waiting on that little bit to drain you said this why I just go ahead and over fill it some to make up for this. Once again it seems that exact amounts aren't that important just as long as you don't over fill it or under fill it.??? Seemed like a pretty easy job but I'm wondering how much is not overfilling and how much is under filling. Didn't mean to write a book on the subject but just need to know. Sure am glad I stumbled on to your channel. I had just watched a documentary last week on what happened to the characters from Orange county choppers.
Vinnie seems like he'd be a cool guy to work with...or for.
Nice video Vinnie. Wish I lived closer to your shop I would bring all my cars to you
Wow Vinnie you look a lot different, healthier and happy since the last time I saw you on TV. I said to myself I know that voice and then I saw your name tag. Looking great Vin and stay safe and healthy.
Holy shit! Vin! It's fantastic seeing you here on you tube! I watched you growing up and have wondered where your journey has taken you. I'll be tuning in often most definitely!!! Happy to see you Vin
THanks for the video. I"ve looked at a couple of other RUclipss on this procedure and apparently there is a proper tranny oil temp involved in order to get the right amount of fluid back in the pan (109 - 113 degrees). If you run the vehicle up to operating temp, the temp will be alot higher and you'll have a higher amount of fluid in the pan, and potentially drain off too much.
Hello Vinnie from North Carolina. It's great to see you doing what makes you happy in life working a job you actually enjoy instead of one you've got to do with little choice. Thanks for the tip on changing the tranny fluid. My Dad was a mechanic from the time he got out of WW2 until he sold his Texaco full service gas station and I learned a lot from him but with these new cars that knowledge don't do me much good unless I'm working on a car that's a "classic" like me. Lol...if I lived up where you do I would definintly take my cars and trucks to you because I feel like I can trust you and I don't even know you. I've got a '96 Chevy S-10 LS that has the 4.3 Ltr V6 in it and the motor don't burn a drop off oil and its for 203,000 miles on it. My fuel pump went out and a guy was gonna charge me almost $900 to put a $100 fuel pump in so I said not just no but hell no! I've been told many ways to fix it but I'm thinking because I have no lift, no forklift for the tank because it's full of old gas that I don't want in my motor, so my idea was to unhook the gas line near the chassis, tap the old pump to get it working long enough to pump out the old gas in the tank, then take the bed bolts out, lift the bed up just enough to get the fuel pump out and install the new one, then simply hook it all back up and bolt the bed back down. I pray this will work because I'm about to start on my truck since we're having warmer weather now.
I know you can't answer everyone's comments Vinnie but what are your thoughts on changing out a fuel pump and filter in a '96 Chevy S-10? Keep in mind I have no lift or forklift to take the full tank out and even if I emptied it I'm not sure I could get those bolts loose holding the straps for the gas tank. Thanks Vinnie and keep making these videos my friend, I subscribed a while ago as soon as I saw your first video. May God bless you and your loved ones and always watch over you and keep you safe from all harm!!!
✝️❤🙏🇺🇲
WWG1WGA!
Thanks for the clear and well explained instructions. Love your torque wrench click !
Are you Vince good to see you again I did not know you had our own personal channel glad to see you once again I’m going to continue watching your channel because I love seeing you on American chopper are the best to you
Vinnie - wow. Looking good. Great to see you again. Took me a minute - "where have I seen the guy?" Glad I found you.
I remember when you worked for the teutals' OCC.. Great to see you doing good these days 👍
I do this the identical way you do, I just did an A/T service on a 2016 Es350 the other day at my shop and I have the exact same filler as you minus the valve stem, the extension hose & the 90º end, sure be nice to have those! nice video.
Good to have these to show and for some one to listen too.
Just stumbled onto you Vin!! you were always hands down,, THE best favorite on OCC. I knew you opened a shop. You seem so at ease doing your own thing brother! I'll go sub for you now! I plan on flushing my Sienna this summer.AWD just turned 70K. Never ever towed anything.
Glad I found your channel, after watching you for years on tv you and Rick were always my favorite and really glad to see that you are happy and doing well. Best of luck to you and your family you deserve it?
Thank you for sharing Vinnie. 😎🏍🏎 Dave L. From Massachusetts.
Love this guy spirit ! He’s funny as heck
Your temperature advice is spot on....but it doesn`t take long to hit the check temp. I just slip on my bluetooth OBD sender and watch the temp rise while on the rack and as soon as the temp is hit cap it all off. 290K on a 2010 Camry. Only things replaced so far has been brake pads at 210k (autostick saves brake wear), drivers side rear wheel bearing at 50k (freak), tires, fluids, and a clockspring because of my own stupidity. the last thing replaced was the heat shield toward the middle rear of the exhaust (long aluminum piece of crap that corroded and broke the mounting tabs). Dorman replacement is, surprisingly, heavier gauge.
Good job. Easy to follow and concise.
Vinnie, I wondered what you been up to after american chopper, it's good seeing you again, keep up the good work.
It’s like being ten again watching these videos. Lol Nice to see you back!
What you said is so true. Everything everyone else said is full of crap!😮
Hey!! Good to see you kid!!! Glad to see you still wrenching. I do agree and is good practice that I learned from my Pops is when you buy a used car or bike just drain all the fluids and pay close attention to the tranny. My daughter just bought her first car and is a 2009 Toyota Prius. First thing was to drain the enginge oil and tranny fluid....made a pump for the tranny and flush it out and 5k miles later, flush it out again. Now it nice and clean... Good to see you are doing well. Be good and all the best!!!!😁
I like that you're taking care of you're baby's vehicle. When I'm working on my mother's vehicle. It's like I really want to double check the brakes for good measure even though I'm doing a oil change. And my mother is great. My grandmother's the greatest. That's when the entire truck needs a great inspection. But my sister. Yeah I let the midus company handle her. But my services are always free for my mother and grandmother. And my sister's husband is an engineer. Those guys don't us very much.
Right! Vinnie I missed you buddy love your work
Hey Vin missed your input good to see here, good content I'll be watching every post. 👍
Hey what’s up any huge fan I see you and your family in Dominican Republic I’m checking in
You are so right! My dad was a mechanic. Many a time he had to convince customers to flush trans fluid. Sometimes he would spend 30 minutes or so to convince people.
Did mine a few weeks ago, it went well thanks your straight forward tutorial.😉 The hardest part was removing the drain plug and the fill plug because they were pretty tight. To remove the drain plug, I used a hex key with a cheater bar. To prevent snapping of the key, I used the box end of a 6mil wrench inserted in the key on the other side with a cheater bar on it too and twisted counter clock-wise with both arms.
I used part of an old vinyl garden hose I cleaned prior, to pour oil in the transmission. It fit perfect in the hole!
What I don't like of the trans. in my 2010 Camry, is the fact that it doesn't have a transmission cooler. If I drive at speeds under 50km/h on a hilly gravel road and the weather is hot it sometimes reaches over 200F. That's when I have to turn on the heat full blast and open all 4 windows!🥵
I always remove the "FILL" plug before I drain any fluid from anywhere, diff, gearbox, transfercase A/T etc. Just in case.
That's a good idea, that way the atmospheric pressure will help push out the old fluid. @@ronaldpretlove3109
I'll shadow dancing to you too, Vinnie! Thanks for sharing.
Very nice tutorial for Toyota's CVT. I recommend getting metric sockets when dealing with Asian / European vehicles. They're worth it.
He wasn't working with a CVT.
Nice job and nice ending music Led Zeppelin Kashmir
Im gonna have to make an oil/ air equipped like that !! Works perfect
Me too, good to see you Piasan. Don, CA. 2-26-2024.
Years from now, long after humanity has died out, our Toyotas will still be here, waiting patiently for some new civilization to show up and turn the key.
I agree Ive done 117k on my 4runner lifetime my ass, Ive changed the fluid 3 times changed the filter once about to do it again.
No idea about cars and how they work internally or external but in Vince I trust!
The Toyota factory service manual gives a specific temperature at which to check the fluid level and it's not the same for all models. For instance, the A750 transmission suggests to check the fluid level between 97 - 115 degrees fahrenheit. Quite a bit different from the 150 degrees temperature you mentioned. So, people bringing there trans to 150 and then opening the drain plug will end up draining out more fluid than they should and they'll have an under-filled transmission. I recommend people get the accurate spec at which to check the fluid level. You can get that info by accessing the Toyota Tech Info website and paying a fee. $20 will give you a 2-day subscription.
Hey Timmy, What would happen if drain out exactly 2.5 quarts and re-add exactly 2.5 quarts, but a lot of it seemingly drains out when you hit operating temperature? Wouldnt you be low? Do you have to do the heat drain step?
@@shawn011274 If you drain out 2.5 quarts and add back 2.5 quarts, AND, your fluid level was perfect before you did the drain and refill, you would be good to go. But, you don't know if the level is currently good, right? That's why you go through the procedure of getting the transmission to the proper temp to check the level. You could be perfect, overfilled or underfilled.
But, I'm not sure if I understand 100% what you're asking. I have a video on this subject on my Timmy the Toolman channel. I don't want to link it here, because I don't think it's cool linking videos on somebody else's channel.
Hi Timmy, I am talking about a new car ( 2020 Lexus es350) that has never had the fluid changed. It would be the first change at 60k. Can I assume the factory has the correct fluid level?
@@shawn011274 It's probably a safe assumption provided there's no transmission fluid leaks anywhere in the system.
@@TimmyTheToolman Yes, no signs of a leak. I was hoping to just replace the old fluid with the exact amount that comes out the pan with new fluid. I would guess if the level is correct from the factory, none would come out when at operating temps are reached if I replaced the same amount?
What's up buddy. It's good to see you doing well.
I think this way gets you close enough and remember-keep it changes👍👍👍👍
Oh God I'm glad i come across your channel Vinnie
Thank you for the great Vlog. From all your fans up in Beautiful Vancouver British Columbia Canada. 👍😎
Nice work Vin. Good to see you doing something you love and being your own boss.
You may have broken the record for number of times saying tranny post 2020. Look forward to see touring with staind again, but i love your solo work also
You lost me but I think I get it now. That crazy plastic dipstick is actually a tube that controls the height of the tranny fluid in the pan.. Vinnie knows what's best, change that tranny fluid often. Consider how hard today's transmissions work, it is no wonder they wear out so quickly. I have questioned all the online folks who say never change/flush the fluid claiming it will wreck it.... Even flushing the tranny moves the fluid in the same direction as it normally flows, so how would that loosen up crud inside. Your explanation does make sense now, it is the detergents in the new fluid that might free up the gunk inside. None of this will be an issue if you change the fluid regularly.
I got the 5 speed in my 4cyl camry to avoid wrecking the automatic, but getting to old for that now in stop/go highway traffic. Will have to have an automatic in my next car, but it will have a bigger engine. Wish I could find another 2000 Solara V6 like I had before, should have kept it.
The plastic tube is actually part of the official Toyota procedure for checking the transmission fluid level between the temperature of 105-115F.
@@junglejuice23 I guess it makes sense, plus it is easy to drain if it is slightly overfilled.
I was watching and said out loud I know this guy from somewhere. Then it hit me Orange County Chopper
Vinnie good to see you in action again.
i was gonna say.. you look like the guy from that Chop show.. WAIT, that is the guy lol
Vinny you are doing a good job keep it up
