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

think about the long run. you made a mistake. you changed the fluids. you changed the fluids again after hearing it. you then changed the diff and did a bunch of other stuff. you then had a "guy" tell you its fine. you will continue to spend more and more time and money. if you decided to tow it to the toyota dealership and paid for a diag and a fix RIGHT WHEN you made your mistake then it would prolly have saved you a ton of money and a LOT of time.

 

Yah take it fridau

 

then try not to worry about it and keep it parked as much as possible until then. its a waste to try and diag online or with people who think they know it

 

When I take it to toyota do I tell them to drive it around or what

 

just tell them exactly what happened. to the teeth. then let them do whatever they have to do. report to us what they say as well

 

Yes sir thank you.

 

OP I'm worried about you. Do you know what the definition of insanity is? Look it up....this thread is over a month old and you've had tons of advice; mostly people telling you to take it to Toyota. However, you keep doing the same thing over and over with the same negative results.

Take it from someone who made the dumb mistake of mistakenly draining the tranny before realizing what I was doing. After realizing what I'd done wrong by driving 20 feet in my driveway (tranny slipping), I parked it, had a flat bed tow truck take it to the TOYOTA dealer, spent $250 to get it all corrected, and then licked my wounds while feeling like the dumbest fool in town.

Let the bashing begin, I deserve it and I can take it like a man hahaha....

 

Have you checked the fluid level?

There are a few link on here to detail how to do so.

 

Help us first.

Year? Miles? Trans type? Last time was serviced in anyway?

 

I just changed my rear differential fluid hasn't done it but has 80k miles 2008

 

Why are you starting a 2nd thread on this?

Not sure how that relates to the original post?

 

OP started another thread on same subject.

You should check with this guy:

 

I'm just going take it to transmission shop to get a diagnostic test

 

That's a different group of users over there, he's sure everyone from this thread is wrong and doesn't have a clue why he's destroying his transmission. And obviously we're not smart enough to find his other thread.

 

Epic troll

 

Wow, I've read all six pages of this trollathon and this has got as far as him not knowing if it's his tranny or diff slipping after spending several hundred dollars it seems like......

 

The advice on this thread is exactly the same as your other thread, you need to take the truck to TOYOTA before you destroy the transmission. If your spool or axle were broke you wouldn't be going anywhere, the problem is in the transmission, you figured that out the first day over a month ago when you dumped the fluid out of it and overfilled the crankcase on the engine.

How you got from thinking the problem which developed when you inadvertently drained the transmission is the rear end is a mystery but continuing to chase ghosts by changing fluids in other components is not going to fix the transmission problem. If you wish to continue chasing ghosts you might try changing the windshield washer fluid, the power steering fluid and the fluid in all 4 shocks, sooner or later you'll change the one that fixes the transmission.
