DIY How to Service a Sealed Transmission: Easy, Safe and Proper Procedures
Disclaimer: What I am going to show you here is my own DIY project. I did a lot of research before I embarked on this project, and all of my car DIY projects for that matter. I hadn't encounter any issues and problems as I was performing this task. So, if you decide to follow the steps I laid out here, and you encounter issues of whatever kind while performing your own DIY transmission service, you are responsible for those issues. I am NOT RESPONSIBLE for any issues and/or problems of whatever kind that may arise while doing your own transmission service.
Thank you for watching. Please subscribe if you haven't already! And, please hit the notification bell, so you will be notified when I upload a new video!
In this video, I am going to show you how to properly and safely service a sealed transmission. I heard a lot of people talking about sealed transmissions not having the need to be serviced at all. They thought sealed transmissions are made for lifetime. There is no need to change the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and/or the transmission filter/strainer. But, that is a misconception or misinformation.
Sealed transmissions, just like transmissions with dipsticks, need to be serviced too. In fact, Toyota is recommending to change the ATF at 100K miles for the first time, and every 50K miles thereafter.
Just like all oils and fluids, the protective properties of ATF break down as time goes by. As they are subjected to constant heat when you drive your car or truck, the transmission fluid becomes less and less effective in protecting your transmission. So, they need to be changed too just like your engine oil over time, only it takes longer for transmission fluids to be changed.
And if you wanted to have your transmission in pristine condition, then replace the transmission filter as well every time you perform transmission service. The transmission filter, which is also called transmission strainer is made up of metal. Inside the transmission filter, there is metal mesh whose primary function is to filter out and prevent, as the name suggests, debris from going back to the transmission where the main components are located, thereby preventing any damage to the transmission. The meshed strainer will clog up as it ages. So, it needs to be changed too.
The goals of this project are: to change the transmission filter and to change the automatic transmission fluid. For this project, I am going to use our 2014 Toyota 4Runner Limited. It is a 5th Generation Toyota 4Runner. It is a rear wheel drive (RWD). It has Aisin Transmission. It has the A750E transmission. It's a sealed transmission.
Aisin Transmissions are known to be ultra reliable transmissions. I never had any issue at all. Neither do I hear issues from other people on their cars with Aisin transmissions.
My 4Runner already has almost 100K miles on it. Actually, this is already the second time that I changed both the transmission filter and automatic transmission fluid. I did the first one at 70K miles. It is my strong conviction that automatic transmission fluids and transmission filters are way much cheaper than having to have my transmissions repaired or rebuilt or totally replaced in case it becomes inoperable due to damage done by not servicing my transmission.
For this project, as I always do, I am using OEM parts from Toyota. I got my parts from www.toyotapartsdeal.com. Here is the list of the parts I used:
Strainer: #35330-60050
www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toyota~strainer~assy~valve~body~oil~35330-60050.html?Make=Toyota&Model=4Runner&Year=2014&Submodel=&Filter=()

www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem/toyota~ring~o~for~oil~strainer~90301-31014.html?Make=Toyota&Model=4Runner&Year=2014&Submodel=&Filter=()

Make=Toyota&Model=4Runner&Year=2014&Submodel=&Filter=()&Location=power_train_chassis/transmission_case_oil_pan_atm,,35106B
And for the automatic transmission fluid, I used Amsoil 100% synthetic, fuel-efficient Signature Series.

I hope this video help you in your Do-It-Yourself (DIY) transmission service. You are going to save a lot of money, and when I say a lot of money, it's really a LOT OF MONEY. So, why don't you have your hands get dirty. Do your own car repairs and maintenance yourself.

Knocking Noise, Still There After One Year? Let's Find Out

This is an update on the repair work I've done on our 2007 Toyota Corolla S a year ago. I replaced the steering yoke. It was damaged. It was causing knocking or clunking noise whenever you turn the steering wheel. Though it was still very safe to drive the car, I decided to replace it. It was so annoying to hear those knocking sound, not to mention the embarrassment it caused to my passengers w...

      @autorepairdiywithsam4523 Рік тому

      It seems that you know a lot about airbags or supplemental restraint system. But, do you know that an airbag can be deployed unintentionally or accidentally if you short circuit an electronic component of the supplemental restraint system. You might be correct that an airbag can only be deployed with the vehicle having a minimum speed of 14 miles an hour, but can also be unintentionally deployed if you short circuit an electronic component of the SRS while working in your car.

No effect on movement of wheels and no play in link between steering and movement of wheels. Going to apply silicon grease to both lower universal joint and top joint on shaft and see what happens.

      Hi Philip! Thanks for watching! The part, which is called Yoke Sub-Assy, costs $117.67 from www.toyotapartsdeal.com. The part number is 45209-02041. I don't know if that's what your Toyota Dealer in UK was talking about when they said intermediate shaft. If you go to www.toyotapartsdeal.com, they have intermediate shaft with part #45221-05011 listed different from the yoke sub-assembly. Intermediate shaft, which I believe, is called steering gear input shaft, costs $165.36. That's the part that connects the lower part of the yoke. In some other year models, the intermediate shaft includes the yoke and shaft together as one assembly. In my case, the one causing the clunking noise whenever I turn the steering wheel was the yoke.

      And, if you do the service yourself, please don't forget to put bungee cords on the steering wheel, before you disconnect the parts to prevent damage to the spiral wires located in the steering column. This part of the process is extremely important.

If you adjust the steering wheel so that it is fully out, the rattle disappears. So it is the splines on the intermediate shaft that are worn causing the problem. I will check your link. Thanks
