    Your part number for the transmission filter is WRONG.

    35330-60030 is the wrong filter. Youll get a filter without the circular opening.

    35330-60050 is the correct filter. Please make this correction...it cost me money

    Well, it depends on which engine you have. The -30 is for the 2.7L and the -50 is for the 4.0L. I’ve updated the original post, thanks for the correction.

    You couldn’t return the -30?

    Send me your Venmo, or PP and how much $ you’re out and I’ll hook you up.

    Thanks for the offer but I cannot accept your offer, this was my mistake. I should have had the Toyota Parts folk verify the part number would work. Always give them your vin for them to double check.

    Thank you so much for creating this Guide and uploading the pictures and I'm glad I could contribute some information to the overall guide.

    @Hook78 Yo, thanks for the great writeup.

    If anyone is doing this job and wants to just go ahead and put new bolts in, I picked up 25 stainless flange head M6x1.0x12 for a couple bucks - eBay link here https://www.ebay.com/itm/222548680528

    Glad it was helpful! And thanks for the info on the bolts, some people have some seriously rusted out ones.

    Just bought a set. Hit 120k miles this week, so it’s in my near future. Thanks @deanosaurus

    If you want to replace the pan bolts, I'd recommend using regular steel. I know the idea of using bolts that won't rust like the originals is pretty appealing, but stainless bolts on an aluminum pan or threading into an aluminum transmission is asking for some issues. Galvanic corrosion of aluminum pieces in contact with the stainless is pretty likely. And probably more problematic or expensive.

    That's a good point, but here in Salt Hell I've had more problems with heads rounding out or snapping. The mild steel shafts everywhere I've had issues (with a few exceptions) looked fine - it's the heads and "necks" that get eaten up, so I personally am not as concerned about the threads corroding.

    You end up paying the salt tax one way or another, I guess!

    Edit - after doing a bit of refreshing and reading (this is not my area of specialty), I believe that stainless fasteners in this application will not be certain doom. This is due to two things:

    1) the surface area ratio of exposed aluminum to stainless is VERY high, and

    2) while the fastener head is exposed, little to no electrolyte (road salt spray) should make it into the threads, due to the pan and gasket forming an effective seal. This mirrors what I noticed when extracting the broken factory bolts - the threads actually looked great, it was the heads that popped. Guidance in a few industries (based on BPs and common applications in marine and mining) is that isolating the threads from electrolyte intrusion with e.g. a neoprene washer, gasket, or various types of anti-fouling applied to the threads is important, and that using an aluminum fastener (typically a rivet) in stainless sheets is verboten.

    We'll see in another 250k miles or so, I guess!

    I’m not in salt hell, but sand just came out my bathroom and sink drains this week. Broken drainage pipe, obviously.
    +1 for Sand hell!

    @Hook78 thanks for taking the time to outline and post. This helped me a TON, everything from ordering the correct parts to the actual work. I just did mine yesterday, everything went smoothly. Having my Scangauge 2 really made it slick when it came time to check proper fluid level.

    Glad to hear it man! Yeah I would trade a Scan gauge for the temp mode game any time.

    Awesome walk through. Just used it today and the hose to the engine bay saved a lot of crawling around.

    I Just wanted to point out an issue I had following this and maybe someone else that knows what they are doing can chime in because I am by no mean a mechanic. So I followed these instructions except the only thing I didn't do was measure how much drained out of trans. I then refiled it with 5 quarts like the write up says too. Everything seemed to be fine while I was cycling through the gears and then it came time to get the truck into temp check mode. While I was cycling between D and N I had a couple of hard/rough sounds shifts. Once I crawled underneath to drain the over flow I noticed that there was a drop of trans fluid hanging from this part of the transmission (pictured below) coming from that gasket seal. Those pictures are after I wiped the drops of oil off.

    So I guess Im wondering, was 5 qrts to much? Did it create to much pressure and force oil out of the seal? I drained at least a half qrt maybe even a full qrt from the overflow plug.

    Transmission seem to be shifting great now and the leak appears to have stopped. Im going to drive around for a while tomorrow then check to see if it appears to be leaking at all again.

    The 5 qts was based on my experience of losing 4.3 quarts in the process, so it’s important to measure out what you drain in total in order to know what to replace. I’ll update the instructions accordingly.

    Isn't that where the trans meets the t-case? A qt over for the fluid level check procedure shouldn't be a big deal. Id just keep an eye on it for now.

    Interesting the pan gasket you used seems to be cork. I think OEM and most aftermarket ones are a synthetic rubber style
