    I have a trd sport with a tow package and im assuming the transmission cooler is the the grille below the main radiator and partially behind it in the lower valence. So is it still the 1.9 qts or is it more with that>? its a 6spd manual also.

    Im not sure,but I have the same exactl pkg. You have
    If you drain the trans pan,you will get exactly 3 quarts out every time

    I jack up the front of truck just slightly to get exactly 3 quarts drained

    Replace the crush washer on the trans drain bolt every time

    Then I pump 3 new quarts of the toyota ws trans fluid back in

    I do this once a year....

    Fluid always looks good

    There isn't one.
    Since manual transmission Tacomas don't have a transmission cooler,
    and using his description as to its location in his truck.
    I am assuming he was seeing the AC condenser.
