I have a 2000 Corolla LE with right around 95,000 miles. I was running through my manual and saw it reference changing the manual transmission oil around this time. Well I can't find anything on the Internet about this...plus there is nothing in the manual about where to find it. Nice, huh? Anyway, has anyone ever done this themselves? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks. |

Replying to: joeyjoejoe (Jun 09, 2008 5:06 am) It's the kind of job I personally prefer to give to someone else. They put the car on a lift, drain it and pump in the new oil from a pressurized hose. Bing-bang, ten minutes. As for mileage, I wasn't able to find any mention of when to change the manual transmission fluid. It might be fine for the life of the car. But if you're the type who plans on keeping a car 200K + miles, I think it's a good idea to have it done around 100K or so. You might think about using a synthetic transmission oil. If you don't have an owner's manual, if I were you I'd pick one up on eBay or at the dealership so that you can have a complete maintenance guide. In any event, nothing you have to worry about. visiting host |

Just go to Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts, tell them that you have 2000 Toyota Corolla with manual transmission. They will tell tell you what fluid they have got for your car and how many bottles you need. If you do it, please go with synthetic gear fluid. Next, check with a few local repairing shops, and there will be one or two of them at least who can do it!!! I used to have a Toyota Tercel and did change my gear fluid once. Car started running much smoother. Good luck!!!

Car still giving me trouble. Mechanic just replaced new fuel pump/relay(???) and water pump was recently replaced as well and still the engine light comes on and the car jerked and sometimes it stall. Before it stall, it gives me warning, like car will jerk and then the speed decreases and can't pump the gas nor accelerate, it's just slowing down until it stop completely. When i tried to start it, it's starting but not going so i waited for few minutes. After 20-25 minutes it will start and go as if nothing happened. It does that occassinally and can't figure out what's wrong with it. Also, mechanic tried to replace the distributor with either rebuilt or new one, but the car rejecting the parts. It gotten worst than before, so mechanic put back the original one and it works. Pls. if someone out there who can diagnose the "illness" of this car, I will appreciate it and eternally grateful. Can't afford to take it to the dealer (too expensive) much less buy a new one???? Thank you. primetime

Just replaced new radiator/thermostat due to overheat once.Had it flushed (ran through machine) to clean the system. However, everytime we drive it, gage moving up above normal and don't understand why it's doing it. Will someone out there understand the problem, pls. we could use your advise/input. Do appreciate whatever suggestions you can give us. Thank you.

Replying to: 4primadonna (Jun 11, 2008 5:56 am) Let it sit and idle or check after runnig and let sit,watch and see if fan cycles on/off. If it does, radiator may be clogged,or waterpump may be worn out. Last would be a possible headgasket failure. Oil in coolant/or water in oil, bubbles in coolant reservoir are tipoffs. HTH.
