Thanks! Understand and confirm

It's a metal pick-up screen, not what we think of a filter. So I do not replacing screen. Which to do so, would be a waste of time and money, even if dropping pan.

I going to repeat myself.

Number one reason to do a full 12 qt flush at one time. I don't know what fluids have been added in vehicle A/T over its history. Mixing modern fluids is a bad idea. You think all fluid, ares the same, because D&F done at Dealership. Thing again! Many use bulk. I, also have no way to knowing, what some PO may have added.

The hose I disconnect from A/T oil cooler return hard line pipe. I've never had leak afterwards. If it did, I'd replace with OEM hose.

Over the years, I've done full 12 qt flush at least 400 times in 100 and 200 series. I've had only good results.

My feeling is, if one ever did fail afterwards. It was a bad transmission. May as well find out during PM, than 200 miles from nowhere.

Where can I find a write up of how to get all 12 qts out of a 2002 lx 470?

Scored 00LX w/557,333 Km, Emerald! No start condition. needs a ton of work. No Problem!

Differentials and transfer case gear lube. I found the rear input of front differential weeping a bit. So I add some AT-205. After driving for minimum of 5 hours. I cleaned (de grease) the area, than drove some more. Leak did not return. While work on front diff replacing side seals, I do loose...

On the 4 speed (trans with dipstick) there is no OEM gasket. The pan calls for FIPG (part # 00295-01281). There are some aftermarket gaskets available for the 4 speed. On the 5 speed (no trans dipstick), there is a true Toyota OEM gasket.

I think I feel pretty good about not dropping the pan on this service. I'm going to do the cooler fluid exchange method. If things start whining or it's not shifting right I'll drop the pan at that point and assess the situation.

Thanks guys for all help and info!

I must be a unicorn because I have a five speed and a dipstick. Best of both worlds?

2003 had both.
