- How to drain and replace the transmission fluid and the transmission filter on a automatic transmission for a 2001 Toyota Corolla. This will work for years 1998-2002 for the 4 speed, and same concept for the 3 speed.
Finally someone who mentions the torque! Thank you
Yes thanks to this person!! I’ve seen a lot of other YT videos of people saying 22ft lbs and over 13ft lbs in a lot of online threads as well. I broke one at 10ft lbs so please torque to 4ft lbs or use a 1/4 ratchet and hand tighten!! I’m not a mechanic nor a professional and if someone says 13ft lbs and have mechanic videos I’m going to believe them, but I’ve learned to do my own research or call the dealership themselves!
@@mosthated8190 Thank you. You are NOT "most hated" after all😆
well I have the corolla 97 -22 manual in front of me now, the oil pan is 9nm, the valve body is 10 nm, the rocker cover is 9nm, the trans drain plug is 17nm , the oil drain plug is 37nm. Nothing about transmission filter or pan but I would be surprised if it wasn't 9nm, which is 80 ft pounds. 9 nm felt about right when I did it. THAT IS FOR THE 4 SPEED 1.6 VVTI. It varies from model to model.
I did the whole job using your vid..thanks bro!
Glad I could help!
Hey thanks so much for this vid! It was very explanatory and I understood everything! I can finally do this myself on my 02 Corolla CE 1.8L
Just made my atf change and this video helped me a lot to do this thank you !
Great video! Straight to the point, great explanations, well done sir!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
You can also use thin thread sewing thread to tie each corner and maybe beach center on every side and it will hold down the seal while you put the bolts
Great video very informative and helped me get the job done thank you...
fishermanroly I asked a mechanic and he said he turns the key in the ignition to flush the trans fluid out
Yes it has a mark to cheak when cool but u always wanna cheak it when its hot for better more accurate reading
Great video for what it showed. However, this wasn't a flash. You still have old fluid in the convertir. The tile is misleading. This is a Fluid change oil.
where is the flush part of the video?
exactly pieces missing
I asked my mechanic how they do it was turn the ignition just a lil to pump trans out
@@AMInvesting yes, flushes free up all that crap in all the little spots and spaces which can cause leaks on high mile vehicles and it also can stir contaminants into the trans. Drain and fill on high mile vehicles.
Random question that might be dumb. My son's car started having some issues that seem to be transmission related. Background: I bought him the car about a year and a half ago. In that time the only stuff been done to it was by his dad, none of which are transmission related stuff.
The issues just started a few days ago and got dramatically worse pretty quickly. He started noticing it seemed to not be shifting the same from 2nd to 3rd and then down shifting. His car is automatic but he said it just felt off. Then the other day it got so bad that he was worried about driving it so I drove it. To me it feels like his overdrive is kicking in for no reason between 2nd and 3rd. So I checked the transmission fluid wondering if it's a leak or just needs to be changed really bad and it is seriously overfull. At cold it is just about the hot line and at temp the fluid is like past the words on the dip stick.
My question is, could that be causing what's happening even though it has to have been that full for over a year and either way can I just drain a little or do I have to do a full transmission fluid change in order to fix the situation?
So overfilling the transmission can definitely cause those symptoms. Kinda odd that it's just happening if it's been overfilled for over a year. Doing a full transmission drain like I show here is going to give you a lot more insight into the seriousness of the situation. If there's giant chunks of metal in the fluid drained and on the transmission pan then there's a good chance you'll need a full transmission rebuild. If it's just small shavings like i show then you might get away with just refilling it to the proper level and cautiously driving it and monitoring it closely.
CAUTION: If your car has over 100,000 miles and transmission fluid is dark then it's very possible a transmission fluid change will cause the transmission to slip. This is very real and well known. If that happens then search youtube for Lucas transmission fix.
Correct! The plates are worn and those bits are in the trans fluid which does still help the shift. It's risky changing it i agree.I changed mine at 85.000 miles and it's doing good.
With the pan bolts only being 4 foot pounds could I get away without torquing them down and just tightening without going to far in?
no
thank you. great video.
Where did you buy the pan from? I can’t find any 4 speed transmission pans to save my life! My wife has a 2000 Toyota Corolla 4 speed.
I’m having the same problem
I currently have an 01 Toyota corolla & every gears works except reverse & neutral.. do I need a whole new transmission or filter change? Because I'm getting the filter may need to be changed or my gears fixed .. HELP
Thanks bro
Thank you for the video. It's really helpful
Good video.
Well done
How many liters of automatic transmission oil carry those boxes is bad if it is over-level I have one from 1994
Hi what exactly transmission fluid did u use also do they have a synthetic version or it's not recommended thx
I saw you drop the pan, but did you swap the filter? Why not drain the torque converter?
Will this be the same specs and method for a 2008 corolla? Also, what solvent did you use?
Unfortunately, I think it might be a different procedure for an 08 since I believe they changed the transmission by that year, however it will be a fairly similar procedure. And I didn't use any solvent for this job.
I saw a video saying you have the change the Differential oil too on these type transmissions & that they have their own drain and fill plug? is this true?
How would you know if your 2001 Toyota corolla if you have 3speed or 4speed?
So if it has an overdrive on/off button it is a 4 speed, but if it doesn't then it should be a 3 speed. Look through the comments here and someone else mentions that you can look under the hood as well.
@@Handy-Mann OK thank you
thank you very much you are great
glad it helped!
What type of atf fluid did you use?
It should be written on the dip stick.
Does anyone know where I can buy an automatic transmission dipstick for an '01 Corolla S?
My corolla is 98 i never change the fluid the car have 225k miles can i change with all this miles or jus refill
You should really change the fluid out.
@@Handy-Mann what can of fluid can i use for the 98 corolla ? Like what brand ?
@@m0ntr0s0 if your car has gone 225k miles without having the trans fluid changed and it still shifts ok, i'd leave it alone. Changing yours now may cause the transmission to start slipping.
Question: The last time I changed my fluid my mechanic suggested not changing the transmission filter because the pan is difficult to replace without it eventually leaking. Thoughts?
I would still change the filter. I usually end up cleaning out a decent amount of gunk off of the pan when I take the pan off that I otherwise would not have been able to clean had I left the pan on. And so long as you properly put the pan back on you shouldn't have leaks. I've done this job 3 times now on my Corolla and I haven't had a leak yet.
Handy-Mann. Much appreciated. Makes a lot of sense. I’ll change the filter!
Thanks
Love your videos! Where do you usually shop for your brake pads? I have the same car
I hate Google Plus I typically just get them at autozone. I'm not into anything fancy or any particular brand, sorry I don't have any better recommendations for you
Oh okay, so they'll know the correct part for my car I'm assuming? I was just thinking about ordering them online if I can find a good deal
Do you have a 3speed or a 4 speed? And how can you tell the difference?
Richard Delvecchio I have a 4 speed. I believe a 4 speed has the overdrive button (found on the shifter) and the 3 speed doesn't have an overdrive on/off button
You can check the model name inside the hood. The third letter of the second segment gives you the transmission type. M stands for 5 speeds, manual; H stands for 3 speeds, automatic and P stands for 4 speeds, automatic. For example: EE111L-GEPRKF-NE-, that serial should stand for 4 speeds models (P)
18 bolts pan is a 4 speed and 15 bolts pan is a 3 speed
How would you know if you have a 3 speed or 4 speed. I have a 2002 Toyota Corolla s 1.8L 4cyl 1ZZFE
4 speed oil pan has 18 bolts 3 speed oil pan has 15 bolts
Also I read if you have a button on your shifter to turn O/D off then it is a 4-speed
Try NOT use use that universal trans fluid. Get pure real deal Dexron III.
How many miles did the car have when you did the change
Samantha Pina I like to change the transmission fluid every 50,000 miles, so this change was at 100,000 miles making it the second time I've done this job
I checked my fluid today and it's not black just a little darker then red but at a 187k miles
@@samanthapina8648 Thing is if you do towing or accelerate quickly it's not good for the ATF or the gear box so changing every 50.000 - 60.000 miles is ok.Town use/stuck in traffic reduces the life of ATF which many don't think about.
@Samantha Pina & @Handy-Mann & More ... you two just saved my life.. 2 yrs ago a young woman and man wrote these comments before me to later aid a husband and father of two with a last resort transport situation during this effing bs COVID-19 fallout.. thanks y’all God Bless!
Good video, but it's missing the "Flush" part......
You are correct.
Hey so is it okay to add 3.1 litres even if I only drained the fluid from the drain bolt? Or will that overfill it?
Evan93 as long as you have the automatic 4 speed, 3.1 liters is what you're supposed to put back in. Be sure to check your level though and make sure it's within spec on your dipstick
If you only drained the fluid thru the drain bolt, 2 liters.
If you drained the fluid and then dropped the pan (changed gasket, filter, etc.), 3.1 liters.
mine is cork 19 bolt what sealant do you use?
you only changed the fluid in the pan it wasn't a flush? theres still stuff in your line to be pumped out
And the torque converter, valve body and so on........
Is it recommended to change the Automatic trans gasket with the drain and fill fluid ? Or it will be fine with just draining the fluid and putting new fluid? Any thoughts...
Any time that you're draining the trans fluid, you should also change the trans filter. You need to take the trans pan off in order to get to the filter and I'd replace the gasket anytime you take off the pan.
I’m doing 4 drain and fills and on the last one I’m gonna drop the pan and change the filter and gasket. I’ve done 2 drain and fills so far.
@@MrLightPanda I'm getting a p0770 code and im hoping by doing that same method I can eliminate the CEL. Are you doing it just for maintenance or do you have a code as well?
@@Gnoimsayin just maintenance. My manual said to do the filter and fluid every 100k. I wish I woulda done it sooner. But at least now I know how.
@@MrLightPanda ah ok...wish i knew too. are you replacing it with a new washer every time you drain it or are you waiting until that last drain to replace the washer?
Trans fluid is detergent not oil petroleum product
You didn't drain the gear oil is on the back side.
What transmission fluid does this transmission take??
Dexron III/II
I use the Toyota T-IV transmission fluid. Ahmed from The Car Care Nut channel recommends using it.
I went to the local parts store and they Recommended Castrol Transmax Import Multi-Vehicle for Toyota
What if you are more magnets?
You should just have the 2 magnets. If you have more I don't think that'd necessarily be a bad thing, so long as the magnets are low profile like the original ones.
@@Handy-Mann I mean why Just two you know? Engineers? If magnets are supposed to collect metal deposits then Few more should collect more
This is a PAN DUMP only people, not a full flush. In other words, a semi waste of time and money. Better than nothing I must add.
You only get 3.5 quarts out when draining the pan like you did. The entire transmission holds 8 quarts. Your fluid is filthy dirty. Looks like dirty engine oil, WOW.
i cant find that pan...
this is for an automatic transmission, I'm not sure if the manual will look the same. but basically the transmission pan is next to the driver's side front wheel, and in between the front bumper and the drive axel. hopefully that makes it easier to find!
No i mean the pan itself like that part mine has a hole
No i mean the pan itself like that part mine has a hole
+Daniel Gonzales oh, well what you could do is call your local Toyota dealership/parts warehouse and tell them you need a new transmission pan and they'll get you the part number. once you have the Toyota part number you can research it online to get the best price. I would purchase it online because it will be much cheaper then your local Toyota dealership unless you have to have the part today.
could be up on the side like a magna
all that wind noise could be eliminated by picking a quiet day...
Cool
