    I have an '01 3.4L Automatic Tacoma that I recently purchased with 155k miles and I do not know if the transmission has ever been flushed, is it already too late or can I go ahead and replace the transmission fluid?
    Thanks guys

    If you aren't sure, do it. Never too late unless it's toast...

    Don't "flush" it at an oil shop. All that does is push allllll the shit through your torque converter. Take the time in your driveway to pull the plug, drain it. Re fill it through the dipstick. Drive for ~50 miles. And do it all over over again.

    That's the only REAL way to get rid of everything. Be sure to buy an extra quart of oil if you have an additional tranny cooler.
