Great video. Clear, concise, and I liked the commentary on the difficulty in serving modern vehicles.

I love how informative this video is! So excited to see the new shop!!

Solid video, thanks! Gotta say, I love my tundra. 2007 with 265k miles. It still runs like new. It's insane.

Thanks man! Simple and to the point!!! Much appreciated!!!

Great content. Some of the best I've seen for diy vehicle repair. Thank you..

Thanks for the informative video. Doing it myself this weekend on my 2007 sr5 5.7l. She’s at 407k now and keeps on trucking. 😊

Straight to the point awesome info, subbed.

Badass video man and congrats on a second location thats shop is sick.🙌🏻

Great vid subbed. Keep it coming !

My 2008 4x2 was hardshifting and after i did this it worked as good as new. 321xxx miles. Best video ever!.

thanks for the video. I just did mine myself (and my 12yo) for the first time today. Really wasn't bad.

Thank you very informative.Keep up the good work you answered my question.

Subscribed ! Great video 👍🏼 clear and right to the point. Just got a 2011 sr5. My first Toyota. Love it so far. Only have 1 problem with a humming noise in front left at about 35mph. Hoping axle fixes it.

A great "How to" video that everyone can relate to! You can save the used ATF, filter it, and mix 50/50 with acetone to make a cheap but effective penetrating oil! Congrats on the new shop location. If you are already outgrowing your current place at home then that's a good problem to have!

The amount of concise info here is off the charts, thanks a million!! It appears ive got a bad leak on my transmission but noticed in the video when you overfilled the pan, the fluid leaks from the seams just above the bolts. Im noticing a good bit of dribble from just in the last week here however just today out of nowhere experienced multiple hard shudders from 1 to 2. Would you recommend a fluid change or straight to the mechanic? The leaking fluid appears to be good, light golden brown at worst & this trans was just replaced not 6 months ago Thanks in advance for any tips

Hey at what operating temp do we do the level check? And are you saying it would be ok to add the 20oz of Lucas without letting any fluid out? Great video thanks man!

Hello young man, I have a 2007 tundra 5.7 liter at approx 170 k from pulling a 22 ft fishing boat. Drain and fill make sense. Flushing sounds dangerous. Great video thanks. Stay safe bro and have a merry Christmas.

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to see the new shop. I have a 07 Tundra 5.7 SR5. I have big wheels and tires (35). I tow about 6k pounds of trailer and horses. I’m seeing my transmission temp gage rise up when I go through the in the only hills we have here in North Florida. Have you ever heard of installing transmission cooler? I bought one and was told by a friend, who is a mechanic, that it’s not possible to connect it. Have you ever installed an after market transmission cooler? Feel like making a video. LOL. Thanks for the video.

Thanks buddy for your time..

I have an 07 Tundra 5.7 w/ over 248k miles. I’m the second owner and bought it when it had 201k miles. The truck is great, rides great, healthy engine and all but the acceleration is pretty inconsistent. It has many days where it lags in acceleration. It has a detailed service history. I know the truck has had at least 2 trans fluid exchanges. The first one was with WS and the 2nd one was done with Type IV fluid (which is the wrong fluid). The second change was done at 182,420 miles from what I saw. I honestly don’t know if the mistake was caught before I purchased it but it seems like that could be causing the slight shifting issue I experience. It seems to hard shift out of first and be ok after that. Overall, it seems to lack a little throttle response and slower to get up to speed. Everything seemed perfect when I first got it but I believe they must have done a hard reset and the truck was much more powerful than it is now. I had 3 drain and fills done since I had it with WS. It seems like I may have WS and Type IV fluid mixed together. I know most of the fluid is in the torque converter. What should I do if I’m in this situation?

I needed this video so bad😂

Thanks for this video, clear and to the point. I have 114,000 mile 08, 5.7 Tundra and trans fluid was changed 6K ago at a reputable shop. I Pulled a 5,000lb camper thru Louisiana over terrible bumpy highway and had a P2757 code pop up 2x. I cleared the code. Past 500 miles had lots of hills and I've noticed a shudder in 4th and 5th gear at 1800-2300 rpm but, NO engine light. No slipping, and runs strong when hard on the gas. What do you think the shuddering could be?

So. I did a filter change on my tundra yesterday and did the exact same thing you did for my level check, but then started over thinking things, so I searched KZfaq and found your video! Just wanted to verify that once it was to temp you pulled the check level plug while the engine is running? Thanks ahead of time for your answer!👍🏻

Great video

About to replace some solenoids and do a drain and fill this weekend. I have a 2011 5.7 with AB60E tow package with trans cooler. Just curious about proper temp for checking fluid. Have seen 115 to 130 and 99 to 111

So you put back the same amount of trans fluid that came out but a little more. Then you warmed the truck up for 20 mins. While running, took out the hex key tiny hole and let it drain till it dribbled like yours did? 2013 4.6l work truck pkge

I do a gentle flush, by removing cooler hose and start truck and let it pump out fluid. Pump out one liter, then replace. Repeat until fluid runs clean.

So, when you bring it up to temp, are you watching the trans temp gauge? Or engine coolant Guage? TIA, and awesome video!

Will this also help a transmission that is not going into drive? 2008 sr5 4x2. I have park, reverse (sometimes) and neutral but no drive. I was thinking the fluid level was low but not sure.

So when you do all this fluid change you don’t have to put a paper clip or something to push in the transmission solenoid? Or When checking the fluid ? I have a 2012 tundra.

According to All Data, the AC needs to be turned off when checking the transmission fluid level, I have no idea why but I noticed that your air conditioning was running in the video

Probably a dumb question but did you pour the whole quart of Lucas transmission conditioner, and then “top off” the rest of the measurement with the new transmission fluid? Also is it best to drain it when it’s cold? Thanks for the helpful video!

Great video but I have a question you don't replace the strainer? or filter? and why you didn't

Thank you for the video. Is the process the same for 2007 Tundra that has the trans cooler?

my torque converter has been vibrateing then my reverse has gone out before that the transmission slip and speedotemer ben bouncing up and down please tell me that my tranny not messed up and fluid just need change i havent had truck long

I have a 2014 5.7 Tundra I just bought with 203k miles. I did three drain and fills in the last thousand miles just so I could get the fluid to a color that was decent. However, I do not know if it is at the right level. So you are saying I can just warm the truck, pull the check plug until I have a slow dribble just as you demonstrated and I am good to go? That would be such a relief! Can I use a temp gun on the pan and get it to 103 to 118F or something in that range or do you just run the truck and check it? I have been stressing about all the steps shown in other videos. Thanks so much!

Hey man! Nice video, I just bought a 2013 with 280k miles it was a one owner, the guy wasn’t too rough on it a lot of hwy miles, some light pulling. However, the ATF has never been changed and I was wondering if it was too late to do a drain and fill?

Thanks for the tutorial video. I now have confidence in changing my transmission fluid. Just one question. Does the transmission need to be at operating temperature when I drain the fluid?

Thanks for sharing. - take care

Hell yeah brother *CHeeRz*

My fill plug isn't a 24mm head, it has an allen key in the top of it.

Love the channel. I have a 2008 Tundra with 310k. Having tranny problems now. Just had S4 solenoid changed because it would not shift into 5/6 gear. That problem is fixed. Now, when I first start the truck, it has trouble getting into gear. Will move forward, but not full power. Will last about 3-4 minutes, then normal power and feels solid. Sometimes, as I accelerate, it has a revving issue about 30 mph. Revs up and down for about 30 seconds. Get through that, then drives normal the rest of the day. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Toyota dealer told me I needed a new tranny. Hoping they are wrong. Thanks.

I have a 2010 tundra 4x4 155,000 miles. Do you recommend the OEM transmission fluid only or is there just as good or better available?

Good video. I have 2007 Tundra 76000 miles. At about 300 miles on a trip felt clunk in rear. Next time abut same mileage happened again but noticed felt like engine died but did not. Happened third time but clunk got worse and barely got home. Dealer said bring in when it happens again but might not for another 300+ miles. Any thoughts?

My 5.7l 2007 tundra shifts hard while cold from park to 1st, but no issues after running a bit, could it be the seals?

My 2007 toyota tundra pops in gear when I shift and when I put it in R or D it doesn't go in gear. When I leave it in R or D and wait a min it pops in gear. Would that be low transmission fluid?

I have 07 toyota tundra 4x4 i have hard/slow shift 1 to 2 gear when is hot, its like big bump change after 3k rpm only (after 15 minutes driving) and sometimes i lost my 6 speed and need drive in 5 speed! 206 miles last tranny flush 35k miles ago No codes or warning lights, any ideia?

Just did this should I be worried that I put in less than I took out? It started dribbling out the other hole with about half quart to go.

Hey man, great video! What’s the clear fluid leaking near the pan?

Hey! Great video. Can you let me know what you consider operating temp?

I don’t recall hearing but how long do you recommend waiting before doing the change a second time?

I bought a used Toyota tundra 5.7 currently it had 270000 miles. I don't know when the trasmition fluid was replaced . Do you recommend changing the fluid or leaving it alone? Thanks

My 2011 tundra 4.6l, just started not accelerating. Rpms go up but can't go past 2k. First thing it said was transmission fluid is low. Sound correct?

There is a temp the trans needs to be, theres a mode you can put it in by playing with the key. Is there a reason you didnt show that? Honest question. thanks.

Good video

Nice video but I'm not a mechanic but I have started recently working on my tundra. The only thing I don't understand is why did you drain fluid out after putting the new fluid in?

Nice ,I replace the 3 sensor for code P0979 ,but the code came back I checked the wire the wire checked out but code is still there ,any advise? Thanks

Thar was an amazing video. Thanks

JD lawn tractors are the same way. They say no owner serviceable. The transaxle does need an oil change every 200 hrs. Owners manual doesn't tell you that.

Lol mom bounced fast lol.

Recently got a 2012 tundra with 130,000 miles. no previous transmission service recorded. if it was yours would you still drain and fill? i've heard some people say to leave it alone

If you do a drain and fill you will need to do it a dozen times before it’s all new. Still works ok.

HEY MAN I HAVE THE SAME TRUCK. It kicks hard going into drive from park, u joints are ok, any clue what it can be?

So when you say you did a drain and fill a couple times to get the old fluid out, do you mean you drained it then pumped the old fluid back into transmission, then drained it back out?

How do I know if my Tundra takes the WS ATF fluid?

I just bought a twenty thirteen toyota Tundra with 188000 miles. It runs And shifts great. Transmission Has never been serviced, do you think i'm safe to do a drain and fill without messing up the transmission.

Does the 2008 tundra have a transmission dip stick ?

Should I shift into all the gears while waiting for transmission to warm up?

what type of atf fluid is that please

Why u didn't change transmission filter

At 7:30 do you have to have the engine on to wait for the dribble or can it be off?

About to do this on my 2008 with 210,000 miles

Bro mine. Drips water off the tranny pan just like that one I never could under stand it

The forbidden soup.

Is this process the same on a 4wd tundra?

You can flush a Tundra transmission with high millage, those trans have a great clutch pack, the only thing you have to do is rub a strong magnet on the solenoids screen to remove metal shavings, usually metal shavings get in your solenoids and get them clogged and they stop working... the flush is good to clean the valve body channels. Also to check the fluid level, you NEED to check it once the transmission is warm...at 107-115 degrees, ATF expand when hot (this is why transmissions have a breather on top)...old fluid do not expand as new fluid so your fluid level will be off and your transmission will not work properly.

What kind of fluid did you use?

Nothing To skip this Is the only video a Tundra owner should watch if they are Trying to research The steps to take I Am severely grateful For the engineer Who Designed this You can replace anything On that truck.

So im confused, how do i check the tran fluid level?

What was the operating temperature?

I've owned two tundras a 2020 and 2010 both have a jolt between 1st and 2nd ether that's how the transmission is or I got both duds lol

How did you know when operating temperature was?

Toyota tries to say the fluid is lifetime I believed under normal operations. The question is who's lifetime?

OK but what's the benefit for not being able to check the level without draining it?

What oem fluid does it use?

What city and town are you in ?

You look like a cross of sean omalley and phil anselmo

You leave the truck running when you check the fluid?

lifetime fluid is a joke haha

Complete lunacy toyota went to sealed transmissions in 2005. Why?@@!!!

Hey at what operating temp do we do the level check? And are you saying it would be ok to add the 20oz of Lucas without letting any fluid out? Great video thanks man!
