#126 of 155 '99 Camry Fluid Change by rfg99 Dec 18, 2007 (9:18 am)
I'm planning on changing the tranny fluid in my '99 Camry V6 LE which has 60K miles on it. The manual recommends DEXRON III but I see Castrol makes a new Import Multi-vehicle ATF equal to DEXRON III(H) and a whole lot of other ATF fluids. Am I asking for trouble using this product in my '99 Camry?   Any insight appreciated!

#129 of 155 Changing Transmission Fluid by dchen2003 Dec 25, 2007 (4:28 pm)
I brought my 03 camry to the dealership for 30000 mi maintainess. The people at the dealership suggested me to change the transmission fluid, but I said no. I checked my service manual and it doesn't mention to change the fluid at 30000 mi or any milage. I opened the hood and there is a sticker says "No need to change transmission fluid" right beside the transmission fluid deep stick. I am kind of confused about this. I don't mind to spend some money to change the fluid, but on the other hand I don't want to waste my money. I really need your suggestions on this, I should follow the manufacturer's suggestion or the dealership's.   Thank you in advance for any suggestions and opinions Replies to this message: wwest (Dec 25, 2007 9:04 pm)

Replying to: dchen2003 (Dec 25, 2007 4:28 pm) I would use the dipstick to check the ATF condition at each oil change interval. If it remains clear and pink then ignore the dealer.
#131 of 155 Transmission motor mount issue by mcar2 Apr 06, 2008 (10:57 pm)
1994 Camry 6 cyl 114k miles. Regular trans service. Suddenly lost power to wheels both in drive and reverse. Engine fine. Could a broken motor mount cause this, or is the trans the problem? Replies to this message: fordfan_17 (Apr 12, 2008 8:43 am) wwest (Apr 12, 2008 9:25 am)

Replying to: mcar2 (Apr 06, 2008 10:57 pm) you say that you suddenly lost power to wheels in both drive and reverse do you mean the car will not move in fwd and rev ? if the answer is yes check the atf level is it real high on the dipstick?

Replying to: mcar2 (Apr 06, 2008 10:57 pm) That question, initially, confused me.   But no, now that there is no mechanical connection between the shifter and the transaxle the motor mounts should not have this effect.
#135 of 155 '05 - Transmission Fluid Change by camry2k5 Apr 19, 2008 (5:27 am)
I just did a drain and refill over the weekend 43k. I used CASTROL IMPORT MULTIVEHICLE MTF instead of Toyota T-IV. It needed 3.5 qts. I got 4 3.19 each at Pep Boys. This MTF outperforms the original fluid. I noticed that it shifts smoothly and does not abruptly downshift when you step on your gas and driving uphill . This works on my Camry and might solve the tranny issue with 5th gens. I wish I had changed the fluid earlier. I plan to change again at 60K. Replies to this message: camry2k5 (Apr 19, 2008 6:39 am)
