How to Service a Sealed Toyota Transmission

[@shendereh3910]

Auto makers should put the damn dipstick back in the transmission!

[@frisbee544]

WHY? So you could check the trans yourself and save tons of money from being ripped from you by the dealer? How is the poor dealer going to keep his mistress happy or send his kids through medical school if car companies do what you say? How politically incorrect of you. And possibly racist.

[@meanodustino9563]

As a Technician at toyota as well. This was EXACTLY how it is done for Toyota. Great job. For anyone wondering if a quick oil change place would be just the same. NO. Go to the dealer. Seen Too many blown transmissions due to over filling because they use a machine which just cycles through fluid and engines has to be running for it to work. Fluid gets hotter and expands so it’s usually .5L to 1L too much. By the time the service is over they don’t check they rely on the machine for the amount.

I took it to an auto/lube shop that said they couldn't do anything and I needed to go to Toyota because I needed a special adapter to fill the fluid.

This is an AWESOME video of how this miserable and seemingly terrifying job can be done "easily" and affordably (the most important items needed are patience and lots of time). Yeah, the garages and dealers are NOT interested in doing this job because it must be done at a specific temperature (requiring time for engine cool down, etc) and some interest in wanting to do the job right... all too often the shop will just SAY they did this job when they did not. Even worse, they do the job WRONG (by checking the fluid level when it is too hot (and "heat expanded"), letting the fluid out and thereby starving the tranny of needed fluid, and then telling the customer the fluid is at the correct level (and maybe even believing it), but having actually made the situation WORSE and more likely leading to tranny damage.

After watching you on TV you’ve gained my trust as a technician. I’m 69 and had my right shoulder replaced from a 15 ft fall, hitting a cinderblock wall breaking 8 ribs and had my right hip replaced July 3.

Great video Faye! I actually work for a Toyota dealership, so they kinda frown on us doing the transmissions this way because they don't want us to trust the amount of fluid the vehicle came in with. There's a whole process of draining, making sure the fluid is at the right temperature (using our "techstream" system) when refilling and topping it off. It's such a pain in the butt. Bain of my existence... lol ...So much easier if they'd actually let us just measure and replace as you show here. Awesome recommending the actual Toyota fluid, their transmissions are so finicky about aftermarket. Keep on wrenchin!

[@zankerdj]

If you’re a Toyota tech, surely you know it’s not actually a Toyota transmission? Why would the transmission be “finicky” about other fluids when Toyota WS is technically a third party fluid too? The A750F is an Aisin transmission, not Toyota. It is ABSOLUTELY IDENTICAL to the Mitsubishi Pajero/Shogun transmission, except Mitsubishi call it the “A5AWF”. Surprisingly, Mitsubishi techs also say don’t use any fluid other than Diaqueen ATF PA 🤣 Mitsubishi Diaqueen ATF PA, Toyota WS, Penrite ATF LV, Fuchs Titan, Castrol Mecron LV, Nulon, Valvoline have all been used successfully for years on the A750F/V5AWF. If you insist your customers use genuine fluid, you should be filling their cars with Aisin ATF+ Wide Range VI fluid 🤪

Shes the young female version of scotty Kilmer channel

[@richardjohnson9702]

I'm looking at this video, the 3rd one of hers in a row, and wonder how you and the others commenting on here about putting Scott Kilmer's whining half screaming persona anywhere NEAR this woman in a video!!!! Is it because she's from Texas!! Still, she DOES NOT need Scotty Kilmer!!

[@roberttroxell4006]

Agreed. Eric O. of South Main Auto would be a better pairing . . but I bet Mrs. O ain’t havin it! 😆

If only she worked on Hondas too 😔

This video has made me decide to to tackle the fluid change on my truck with the same transmission! You have a gift with these videos. One question: thoughts on Idemitsu WS fluid? I too normally like and buy Toyota/OEM stuff, but it seems the Toyota WS juice is mineral based and the Idemitsu is full synthetic (which I generally prefer). Thanks so much for making the channel, as a guy who does most of his own repairs and learns “on the job”, you are really able to break down (including the how and the why) the steps you take to complete a job the right way.

absolutely great video and explained it clear as day. I've watched soo many other videos that made no sense to where I was going to just send my Toyota to the dealer but not now, thanks

2 issues. The customer supplied fluid said it met toyota ws..and ford mercon 5. Which scares me because mercon 5 and the toyota trans fluid are not the same... Second...you are putting in what you removed ... however that depends on the current level being correct which you have no way of knowing.. so if the trans started a quart low.. or overly full.. you continued the poor level. Glad you checked level. overfill a half qt and warm the engine and trans 10 min.. check pan temp with an infared thermometer.. and release the fluid check plug if the temp seems close. Is the best method.. Which i see you did. So awesome job.

Wow! Really well done both in content, delivery, tips and accuracy. I really liked how detailed you were and how you provided comparisons between methods of checking temperature and fill level.

Nice job, Faye. Really like the comparison part between the gun and the sensor pid data. Don't think i've seen someone do that before, but good to know the gun is fairly accurate.

If I am paying for the service, I would want it done the right way. If I were going the DIY route, and the vehicle were not spanking newish..... the heat gun would be acceptable, as the head range is generous enough. Of course, a lot of build-up on the cover might act as insulation.... and skew a heatgun reading, and cheap 10.00 thermal guns can be way off. I do not even change my own oil... too messy when I can pay someone to do it, and focus on MY business!

Good morning, Faye! I recently saw your Working From Home videos on MotorTrend which I enjoyed. You mentioned working at an Audi/VW shop. My love of cars began after high school (1981), when I apprenticed/worked for a friend of the family that ran a VW/Subaru repair shop. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher; he was always patient (which is rare these days), taught me customer service, always do my best and work ethic. I inherited the car bug from my dad and now my son has it. We help each other out trying to figure out automotive mysteries.
