You also need to research the transmission that is in your vehicle. With some, what Scotty did, a drain-and-fill will do it. With other units, the filter or screen may get clogged. In that case, you will need to remove the pan and clean or replace the filter or screen. Use your common sense in this matter. If you can simply rinse out accumulated particles, you can reuse its. If it has solid filter element, you should repleace it. There are different designs, and I have replaced a filter or cleaned a screen since the days of rear wheel drive three-speeds. If the fluid look really bad (dark, brown, an abnormal red, orange) you should drain and fill more than once. If it doesn't run the first time around, however, you may need a new unit. Or there might be some other type of repair that could be done. But don't go any further than drain-and-fill and cleaning or replacing a screen or filter unless you seriously know what you are doing.

My boss had an 08 Range Rover Sport with 175k miles. Transmission going into safe mode with fault codes. He told me it wasnt shifting out of third but it didnt slip. Original fluid that they say is good for 150k miles and the trans has been leaking he told me. Dealer quotes him 12k for a new trans. I tell him get a second opinion. Another shop quotes 7k for a new trannny. I find a new pan with filter and all the oil as well as a sleeve that tends to leak for 300. Send him to another shop and they say the fluid is low, dirty and burnt but changing it wont help. My friends dad bought the car for 500 and changed the filter and fluid and now it drives and shifts with no problem. Dont listen to these shops just try to change the fluid and filter before dumping the car. Dont know how they say they dont think it would help by having the proper level and clean fluid.

My advice, for all automatic transmissions is an accessory tranmission cooler. It gets installed inline with the transmission lines right after the cars radiator. Going back to the transmission. Most transmissions fail because of heat. Cars are not built to sit at traffic lights. They are built for air passing through the radiator at all times. Nowadays most dealerships offer them, as an addon called towing package. When buying you next car, i would recommend thr towing package, even if you are not towing. The hitch makes a great place to mount your bikes, for the summertime.

Scotty, I have an 06 Toyota Corolla. I did the first transmission pan drop, filter change, then refilled it with new oil at 137, 000. It was reddish before I changed it. It was grimy and had lots of metal filings on the magnets. All cleaned up now. Quieter and smoother too. I am thinking about doing the whole thing again after 3000 mi. Is that overkill to pan drop, clean, and filter change? Or just drain and refill? About 58% of the fluid is new after the first time. A second one would bring it to about 84%.

Love your truth Scotty, ignore the haters. A friend spent 16k on a new fiesta, its on its second engine after 5k miles. He's a mechanic. Another friend bought a vw golf. The passenger door freezes shut in winter. Dealer suggested vaseline on the door rubber to fix it. Yet another friend bought an old audi for 800 quid, spent another 2k fixing all the stoopid things that even a 20yr old car shouldn't have. Then the radiator fan disintegrated and he gave up on audis, bought a ford.

I got this code on my Toyota Camry 05 4cylinder. I just bought the car, but the guy I bought it from somehow disabled the check engine light. I'm going to try this out myself. Now the car does have over 195 k miles on it. Is it too risky to do this when there's that many miles on it? I heard that you're better off leaving the transmission fluid alone after a car reaches a certain age. Should have watched before you buy a used car video before I bought my used car SMH. Thanks

Bit of a half job. Just draining the pan, and leaving the rest of the ATF in the system youre not changing all or even most of the fluid. In my vehicle, only a 1/4 of the fluid is in the pan. A proper drain or flush of the whole system is whats needed. Should also mention changing the filter if vehicle is equipped with one. I agree though, for a car that value and age this is the best option along with a prayer.

I had some slippage in Overdrive on my 1990 LINCOLN MarkV11LSC Didn't chance changing the fluid ( it was fine ) just drained out a Qt. And added the Lucas Stop Slip I was one of the lucky ones 6 months ago. Shifts smooth as silk That stuff is great I only drive this car one hour per week She's mostly for show Wether or not Lucas would work on a daily driver, depends on how long there's been a problem

Occasionally after a full stop e. g. traffic lights my rpm rate suddenly drops and I get a trouble code with says p0750: Shift solenoid A malfunction. This happens after accelerating at around 40-50 km/h. There is no pattern or anything. It seems to happenen completely randomly. Car is a 2001 Toyota Avensis 1. 8 vvti. Any idea what this could be? Changing the fluid hasn't helped anything.
