I need help. I'm having trouble with my transmission.

Okay man just question asking for advice thanks bud

 

Hey we all f***** Up relax guys..Help not hurt remember???

 

You have to read all the posts in the thread before posting. Your question has been answered. Take it to a reputable place that knows Toyota transmissions as they do not have a dipstick and have a very specific (not difficult) procedure for checking fluid. If "you" feel your dad did it right and you used the correct Toyota WS spec fluid then you are all set. If you don't have faith in the work that was done then take it to a shop you trust who knows these transmissions. Don't have a trust that does, then take it to Toyota but expect to pay quite a bit more than a smaller shop for the same job.

 

Yeah I'm taking it Thursday morning. I have a friend thats a mechanic works on toyota a lot used to work at hotel fox

 

I think you mean Hoy Fox which is one of the two major Toyota dealerships in El Paso. Be sure your friend follows this procedure or your transmission will be toast soon.

Haha, I totally did this on my cavalier. Luckily my dad had a suction tool... I felt dumb...

True, but you didn't have to point it out. Yes would have been just fine. And to the OP... Yes. Maybe take it to Toyota, and spend the money. Yes it'll be more expensive than the 10 minute oil change place, but It may be done correctly...

 

Thank you show him that information Thursday

 

Here is another good place that can check the transmission fluid. He is a small independent shop that specializes is Toyota and Lexus repairs. He worked as a master mechanic at Toyota for many years before opening his own shop.

I hope you get your truck fixed man! Shit happens. I have a 08 as well and I don't think there is a transmission light!

 

Thanks brotha! Think it drives good and everything it just sliping when I turn or sometimes when I stop and I go it doesn't catch

 

You get it looked at by the Toyota dealership?

 

No there's guy that I know that he used to work at hoy fox toyota but now he has his own shop. Specialty is working with toyotas. Take it to him Thursday morning. Told him what I did and and everything he's going look at it see. I mean it runs good drove it today trying not to drive it but it runs good.. but not going drive it until I can get it fixed

 

Good idea. When my front diff seal went bad I didn't drive my truck at all try and keep it in the driveway haha!

 

Thank you Loco!!

 

Yup that's where it's at as we speak my friend going pull me to where I need go Thursday I honestly don't wanna drive it. I just hope it's nothing big where I have to spend a lot of money because I don't have very much money on me

 

I don't think transmission service is that much usally 140$

 

That's not too bad. Thing is should I show him the link that we have her about transmission. Or should I just let him do his thing. I mean don't wanna make him think doesn't know what he's doing get me?

 

This guy sounds like he knows what he's doing if it's just filling it up with fluid it shouldent be that much

 

I would tell him what happened completely! And maybe ask for a estimate in price
