#4073 of 4692 Automatic Transmission Maintenance by byumgr Jul 15, 2007 (5:47 pm)
Alright, I have a 2005 Toyota Highlander Ltd. with automatic transmission with 35,000 miles. No where in the 'Passport' can I find where it is regular scheduled maintenance recommended for the transmission. Can someone please tell me when it is recommended and how often? Thank you. Mike.

#4074 of 4692 removing roof rack cross bars by mmccloskey Jul 18, 2007 (1:26 pm)
Greetings:   I've got a 2007 HH Limited and was wondering how to remove the roof rack cross bars. I know they can be adjusted fore and aft but I can't figure out how to take them off. I will never use the roof rack and the cross bars make it more difficult to clean the roof.   If any of the Highlander owners out there have done this, I would certainly appreciate your guidance.   Regards - M.

Replying to: mmccloskey (Jul 18, 2007 1:26 pm) Check message number 578 in this forum or search "cross bars". Follow the excellent directions. I used a paint can opener with the little curved tip to get up underneath and pull it out. Regards, BGood Replies to this message: steve_ (Jul 18, 2007 6:02 pm) mmccloskey (Jul 19, 2007 3:35 am)

Replying to: byumgr (Jul 15, 2007 5:47 pm) 35K to 40K is ideal if you live in a hot climate. There is no filter so tehy do not have to drop the pan. They can flush out the old and put in all new fluid with about 16 to 18 quarts. Replies to this message: steve_ (Jul 20, 2007 8:04 pm)

Replying to: dominor5 (Apr 28, 2006 1:06 pm) I was told by a Toyota mechanic that the best solution to stop the braking vibration is to have the rotors "turned on the hubs" and also replace the brake pads. He said you can replace the rotors but the hub rotation will cause them wear uneven and the vibration will return. Anyone else heard of a "turning the rotors on the HUB?

Replying to: dchouston1 (Jul 20, 2007 7:43 pm) Some of us don't believe in flushing out the transmission fluid. But people define flush differently too.   I wouldn't do a power flush. If you are draining and filling so that you wind up replacing ("flushing") all the fluid, ok.   Read too many posts like this one I guess....   amigo_john, "Isuzu Trooper" #8070, 30 Jun 2003 7:46 am
#4082 of 4692 Toyota Highlander Visor by rwong2 Jul 22, 2007 (11:30 am)
I had a problem with my 2002 Toyota Highlander driver's side visor not holding up, like some of you on the forum. Instead of spending $700+ at the dealer to fix this problem, I am very happy to tell everyone, that I have found a more economical way. I found OEM visors with the Home Link system at a place called Auto Intelligence for $50 + cost of shipping (Both driver's and passenger's side). You have to be a little handy, simple instructions comes with the visors. It took me an hour to put it in, tested the home link system, programmed the home link to my garage doors. I have new visors and saved $650. Check them out at www.autointelligence.com or call them. Phone number on the website.
