    Transmission fluid types

    I have an automatic 98 1KZ-TE and I’m looking at changing all the fluids. Brought it back from Japan not too long ago. Everything I see looks like it requires D-II fluid. Seems somewhat difficult to get in the states. I see threads elsewhere saying T-IV can be used in place, but I’m skeptical...

    GX 470 Hard Downshift, help diagnosing

    Hoping to get some insight on what direction I should go with a shifting issues on my 08 470. The issue: when asking for acceleration around 30 MPH, the car seems to hesitate a bit and then harshly downshift. The feeling ranges from a slight thud to feeling like I got lightly rear ended. It...

    2000 LX470 ATF Fluid Exchange

    I'm new here. Hi. I've owned 4 Toyota's over the last 15 years and currently have 2 in my driveway. My wife's 2000 LX470 (195k miles) and my 2019 Tundra Limited (73k miles). I have vowed to never take my cars to a mechanic again. I feel competent on the basics (fluid changes/brakes/spark...

    Need help determining how much trans fluid to refil

    Just paid what is probably a record high to get my trans rebuilt, the genius forgot to torque the drain plug back so it fell out somewhere on the highway and I drove the gx a couple miles while it leaked all over the place. When I finally parked and turned it off is when it really started...

    FJ62 Transmission Cooler Lines

    Currently working on cleaning the transmission filter and swapping the fluid out. Been taking the time to clean up and repaint the pan and skid plate while I have it off, but noticed the rear braided rubber flexible trans cooler lines are soaked. Not sure if they're leaking or if it's some...

    '99 Cruiser trans fluid drain and fill questions

    Hi all, I have a '99 LC100 with almost 226k miles on it. I'm not sure when the transmission fluid was last changed so I'm planning on doing a series of diy drain and fills rather than taking it in for a flush, but I have some questions. Should I go for synthetic? The owner's manual says to use...

    Chirp when shifting under hard acceleration

    Hello all, I have 2008 4Runner V8 4WD. Recently, I noticed that, under hard acceleration, when the trans upshifts there’s a brief chirp/squeak that sounds almost the same as tire chirp. I was due for a transmission flush, but that had no effect. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. I put...

    FJ62 transmission fluid confusion

    So when I got the truck a year ago I changed all fluids as we all do. I dropped the pan and replaced the transmission filter and drained as much fluid as possible but as we know its impossible to drain it all. I replenished the level with lucasoil multi vehicle tranny fluid which says its...

    "Party Trick" Instructional

    All, I am beginning to have some issues with engaging D and R when cold. Nothing drastic, but every now and then there is a hesitation before the gear catches. I am driving a 1990 FJ62 with 148k on the stock tranny. I am doing an ATF drain and fill this week, but have been researching other...

    To change or not to change...that is the question (trans fluid that is)

    Hey all, did a bit of searching but got conflicting results: My '06 LC is sitting with a shade under 160k miles and no record of a trans fluid change in its history. While I don't do any towing, I can't say confidently that it hasn't done some in the past. So my question is as stated...
