$76 Tranny Service

[landtoy80]

The Toy dealer has a coupon for a drain and fill (up to 5 qts) clean screen and adjust throtle linkage for $76.95
I am due for a change and I tried to adjust the cable but the cable in my FSM is not the one in my 80.
I paid $125 two years ago at a tranny shop.
Is this a deal or what?
Its about $10 more for the 80

I also get TWO FREE MOVIE TICKETS from Toyota USA

Be careful, the movie might have subliminal subtexts...encouraging you to spend more money at the stealership. Here's your popcorn

I thought the name of the movie was strange "Ta Coma DeDouble Cabay"

Landtoy80 that is a riot.

By the way, have you seen the new Tacoma they are coming out with. Looks pretty cool.

According to the article the TRD Off-Road Package contains...

"a thicker front sway bar," ....................... "and a locking rear differential".

Ummm... the two don't seem to go together...

I no like the new Taco. I no like the old Taco. I want new or old HiLux

With my milage and the last change was 40,000 mi (2 1/2 years ago) should I have Toy do the change or should I just drain and fill the pan a couple of times?

 

[RavenTai]

at the last change (40k ago) the pan and filter cleaned? or was it just a drain and refill? if the former you should be fine with a few drain and refills during you normal ouil changes, the later you can drop the pan and do it your self for a lot less, all it costs is a tube of sealnat, some solvent and fluid, plus your rig is not in the hands of someone with an unknown skill level who does not care about your 80

It was a full tranny service ,removing the pan and fluid exchange.

I just did a fluid exchange. This is better than a drain and fill. It hooks up to a machine and uses the tranny pump to move the fluid. There is a lot of fluid that does not get replaced on just a drain and fill. Don't do a flush, that places pressure on the tranny from an outside source rather than using the tranny's own pump.

The prices was $129, but they had a coupon for $99. It was at a place that specializes in Toyotas and lexus. You know your in the right place when the use Toyota Red antifreeze instead of yellow Prestone.
