#4838 of 4944 Re: 95 camry differential fluid change question [toyotaman9] by vcheng Jun 26, 2009 (3:43 am)
Replying to: toyotaman9 (Jun 25, 2009 4:22 pm) I believe that the transmission and differential in that model of Camry have separate drains (10mm Allen) but the differential fills through the transmission, i.e. drain separately, and fill through the transmission dipstick for both until the level is correct. If you drain or flush the transmission only, the differential oil does not get changed, since it remains full of the old oil and will not accept new oil from the transmission unless it has been drained prior.

Replying to: pbrower (Jul 04, 2009 4:15 pm) There are several articles about VATS and bypassing. Resistors are wired into the two wires at the bottom of the steering column connector that replace the circuit up to the steering wheel and lock cylinder. Resistors from RAdio Shack in series or alarm shops bypass this regularly and they get packages of resistors of the right values they use. Why do you think there's a problem with your VATS?

Replying to: pbrower (Jul 04, 2009 4:15 pm) I thought I put a link in the previous post: link title Bypassing VATS. The two thin wires go into a single larger tube that looks like a wire itself as they leave the connector at the base of the steering column.

Replying to: ar1458 (Jul 08, 2009 8:17 am) if you can't find an answer online, take the wheel off and look at the caliper. It will either have one piston or two...pushing the brake pad out from the caliper. It's a two minute inspection.

Replying to: ar1458 (Jul 08, 2009 8:17 am) Mo book shows a dual piston. Here's info on ceramic pads: Ceramic Brake Pads, pros and cons And also HERE

Replying to: kiawah (Jul 08, 2009 8:46 am) thanks I will look...also when I take off the rear brake caliper should the rotor come right off with a slight tap of a hammer ????

Replying to: ar1458 (Jul 08, 2009 11:29 am) Yes with a large rubber mallet. Be SURE to support the caliper with wire BEFORE you disconnect it. Don't let it just hang there.
