There is a drain plug cock valve behind the radiator. It looks like a big PLASTIC WHITE wing nut (OEM radiator) located just under the grilles about 3-4 inches from the left of the radiator looking down on it. Just turn it CC (lefty loosey), a pair of pliers may help.You can't see it from the bottom because of those black plastic guards. Hope this helps. Good luck! |

| Just wondering if anyone of you out there has had a similar problem with their A/c's - the A/C front panel button "light" starts blinking after a short period of operation. Of course when the blinking starts, the cooling stops - fan continues to blow. I can push the A/C button to turn it off, then on again, and the cooling begins but only for a short period of time. Then the whole terrible cycle starts again. So far no one can figure this problem out. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. | |
| anyone ever have small oil leak down the back of the block? 4 cyl 94 engine? | |
| 1997 Camry 4-cylinder. I needed a new valve cover gasket, which was replaced under warranty. No further leaks. | |

Thanks for your information for changing transmission oil, I have checked both my 99 Camry and 01 Sienna, but unable to to find differential check/fill plug, could you give me more information? and do you mean I have to drain transmission oil and differential oil seperatlly. |

| By the way, I think Toyota do not have a transmission oil filter, it is just a frame. do I need to change it also when I change the oil? | |
| Mine is located in the housing directly behind the tranny pan. Drain plug at the rear , filler up higher on right if you are facing front of car. Mine has a filter like a screen if you drop the pan but I have not had it changed in 100,000 miles, I just do a drain and fill. | |

I've only cleaned this twice since I bought the car ( Jul 4th '92). It doesn't need replacement. Take it off and clean it with solvents, i use mineral spirits/WD-40, then air blow it dry. Purolator makes one if you want to replace it, comes with the gasket kit around $15 ( '92 Camry V6 ) at Pepboys. If you plan on doing this job, I recommend getting the transmission pan gasket from Toyota, it doesn't need that messy Permatex. And don't forget to put back the magnets. Yes... The diff check/fill plugs use ALLEN wrench ( 10 mm ) to take off and located just as armtdm described. |

When you cleaned your tranny screen can you describe how bad the debris was. As I have not replaced/cleaned mine since I switched to synthetic at 25,000 miles (now 135,000) I am curious as to whether I need to look at it. Fluid has been drained and filled every 30,000 but no screen. My last drain and fill a few weeks ago I saw some metal on the magnet of the differential plug (that one was 50,000 miles since the last change) but tranny plug is not a magnet as it appears to be in the filter area. So, how bad was the screen after how many miles in your case?. |
