Watching this video made me change my transmission fluid on my 95 Toyota Avalon for the first time👍👍👍 This is my favorite Toyota UA-cam channel keep up the great work
Im due for another ATF drain & fill on my 2002 Avalon in about 3 weeks or so. I just wait for the 30k miles to change it. The little screen mesh filter every 60k miles.
So glad I have a transmission dipstick in my 2010 Corolla and 2001 Solara Convertible. No dipstick is just another removed item (like the transition from spin-on oil filter to that cartridge filter) to discourage DIY’s and promote more services from the “stealership”
Good catch on the wheel. For the oil on the bell housing, if its dark like motor oil than yes the rear seal. Make sure its not leaking from behind the intake and running down. If its kind of red than the torque converter seal.
Would clean/de-grease area and then run truck while elevated- watch for 30 minutes. De-greasing the area is key #1. IF you have another person who can go lock to lock on the steering while its hoisted to see how badly the steering rack is leaking: I have seen power steering fluid slung around in many places.
I think the leak may be a rear main seal. I had the same issue with the last 2000 Nissan Frontier 4X4 I owned. It leaked in the same fashion. Sold that truck, which was a decent truck in March 2019. Then, used the money to buy my 2019 Toyota Tacoma SR 4x4. I REALLY like the Tacoma!
Peter, If the engine compression is still as impressive as the condition of the truck's body and frame, I think the owner should go ahead with all repairs necessary to keep this truck on the road for another 15 years. BTW UA-cam itself was on the repair hoist last night when I first tried to watch this video ;-)
Rear main seal , gotta pull either engine or trans I believe. I would pull trans. Big job, good $, but really... doesn’t *have* to be done but if the customer wants it done... do it! If it was me and it wasn’t dripping, just seeping, I would leave it alone and just do the brakes and flush trans.
There are some rear main seal products that work and don't work. I would try at least before the big job unless money is no object. I forget which people have tried them. I know Scotty likes AT-205 Reseal. And I think FixitAngel tried Blue Devil but don't quote me on that. And probably a ton more that don't do anything. Might even give Maxlife a try as well but that takes at least one or two full oil change cycles to work on the seals. Someone needs to figure out something with that. $10 seal, 100x labor cost, more or less.
@Sam S he tested products to see which would increase combustion. More in a real world application to maybe have combustion blowby with stuck or gummed up piston rings and worn cylinders. Restore showed great results by him. Legendary man. Just the stuff he comes up with to test products. If the apocalypse comes I'd want him as my outpost leader.
Sealed transmission = when the warranty ends. Trucks work, tow and haul. This puts stress on the transmission and it's fluid. Change your fluids. Also, good sauerkraut is worth its weight in gold.
Lifetime fluid = until life of transmission ends. Usually right after warranty ends. Change it. Change it at the halfway point if you tow. There's a reason transmission coolers exist on tow package trucks. Eat your sauerkraut. And thanks for watching. That should be his new signoff tag.
Love your videos. I bought a 2006 tundra 4.0L with 35k miles. Toyota changed transmission at 64k miles. I had to change transmission again at 85k miles due to radiator failure that put coolant in my transmission. Now I have another transmission and ran it straight to trans cooler,rather than radiator. Still shudders so it looks like driver side motor mounts bad. After I fix it I will trade it in for a Subaru. Tired of Toyota tundras. It was my first and last truck I ever had. Thanks buddy
I had a 2006 Tundra and I never had any problems, I was in an accident where some kid pulled out in front of me and totaled my truck but I know that the truck was well built because I was able to walk away from the accident without injury
Thinking rear crank seal, steering gear leak and a new caliper. Brake fluid flush wouldn't hurt either. I would recommend rear differential fluid change too.
Sometimes these racks leak when the fluid gets old and thins out. They require automatic transmission fluid. My 2008 4Runner leaked out one side into the boot at 78,000 miles. Flushed the steering system myself with Mobil 1 ATF, LEAK STOPPED COMPLETELY!
I have an '04 sequoia 2 wheel drive with 230,000 miles on it. I had similar brake issues. It was caused by the inner brake line liner collapsing and not allowing the fluid to return from the calipers. A very annoying problem. You have to replace the flexible sections of the brake system and pray you got the offending item.
Very good job with the transmission drain plug..... I half anticipated a bit of a disaster lol. Another maintenance item- 90,000 timing belt change on the 4.7 engine. Has it been done?
Maybe pour it on a bright white plastic sheet or on white paper... Great for video... That dirty container isn't so great, even if the inside is clean. How about clear plastic cups? When you use larger containers for a side by side, an led flashlight with a small diameter lens going through the fluid would be great.
Inspect brake caliper for being defected, also check to see if the brake line rubber section is defected. It can partially clogged and not releasing the brake pressure all the way. And as for the other leak you described it sounds like a rear main seal oil leak.
Engine Oil, I’d be thinking rear main, if it’s trans fluid, front seal to torque converter. Every time he says Sauerkraut, I miss my great grandfather and my grand parents. He started and owned a sauerkraut company, call Kissling Sauerkraut until he died. Everyone in the family was required to eat it on New Years Day, didn’t matter if you liked it or not. Needed it for good luck in the new year 😁
How can I get your services on my 2002 Access Cab and 2005 Double Cab Tundras? Its hard to find trustworthy mechanics these days and I absolutely love my trucks. I very much enjoy your channel as well thank you for all information !
At first impressions, one would think a bad main seal. But, I would also check the Steering Rack.....that oil on the boot.....is the boot damaged? -Stephen, Ohio
I had the same problem with the brakes( for one front wheel), I repaired the brake calipers,swapped brake hoses, and did much more,. I replaced the master brake cylinder, and the problem is gone.
No toyota forum has helped me. 04 tacoma headlights do not shut off, with key out of ignition, and headlight switch off. Dead battery every morning. Dealership replaced headlight stock switch, combination switch, headlight relay, corroded acc fuse box by driver seat. Same problem still
Brake piston could be corroded need to clean and sand it for smooth slide. Seal between engine and transmission may need replacement, but since it is a big type of maintenance you may need to replace some parts as preventive maintenance. Not familiar with autoatic transmission vs manual where you change flywheels, clutch etc.
Our company has/had three 2005 tundras. One right now never had a transmission flush and about 295000 miles. One had one flush and still strong at 360000, then donated it. Our only V6 is about 205000 without a flush. Just information.
My guess is a seeping rear main seal. I believe ATF would be cleaning the area better even as it collects dust. I would clean it and run it for two hours over a white sheet and go from there.
First the transmission has to be pulled. As you said it’s only the half way down, of the casing. It has no centrifugal force on it. So the fluid will not “fly”. Customer decision. To pursue.
Just bought a 2000 tundra 2wd for $2000 knowing that I am going to replace upper and upper ball joint and ty rods. Also the truck needs a new paint job. For some reason toyota makes great trucks but their paint jobs suck.
Hello! My 01 tundra has some kind of electrical problem. The brake lights stuck on and the car alarm which seems aftermarket but I don't know. It beeps but I disconnected the horn lines and I dont know what to do.
Would a trans flush be a good idea? I always hear that flushes on high mileage transmissions can actually cause them to drive worse or fail faster due to clutch material buildup or something like that.
napa auto has rebuilt OEM calipers for these trucks. i had a 2000 tundra with the smaller orginal fist gen calipers and did 2003 bigger caliper upgrade.
I have a 2004 Tundra SR5 Doublecab 4.7 V8 When I press my 2W/4W button to engage 4WD, it shifts as flawlessly and smoothly as the day I drove him off the lot 16 years ago... ... but when I press the button again to disengage and go back to 2WD, it kicks *HARD* Even as of 6 months ago it would give a bit of a thud, but that’s what he’d done since day one. This is a pronounced kick... Not sure where to start with the solution, but the only thing my non-mechanically inclined mind can think of is low fluid levels in the transfer case? But then I’d think that going into 4WD would be affected too, but it’s exactly as it’s always been...
Leaking Rear main eng seal. brake caliper frozen, remove & install a new one/ rebuilt unit. install new pads. Check pads all around. check alignment too. Changed trans fluid. Flush ?
@@apelnkn2230 It's possible, but it didn't work for me. It has slowed a bit possibly. I don't think it will work at all with some of the newer springless seals which I think are made of PTFE or something. It has to be a seal with a spring and the seal has to be hardened not damaged I think. I think it's mostly grasping at straws to avoid a very expensive repair.
Got a 2002 tundra. It's got enough of my blood from skinned knuckles to lube the engine with no oil. First, that's a seized caliper on the brakes. That model had a technical bulletin on it to replace the factory calipers with 4 inch pads to ones with 5 inch pads. The rack and pinion on these gen 1 beasts leak like a Harley Davidson. Don't mess with the seals, put in a whole new unit. Trust me. That looks like a rear main seal to me, but I've never had a problem with mine. Had some top end leaks around the head gasket. Never the main seal. The 2002 trans isn't sealed, along with no smog blower. Watch out for the radiator leaking into the trans fluid. Aka "the pink milkshake of death". Lol.
The 4th generation are unfortunately known for bad front calipers. I believe you might get 50,000 from a remanufactured set. I just replaced both rears and fronts about 6 months ago, not a terrible job but bleeding the brakes was a pain, finally took it to a shop for brakes to be bled, I paid $50 bucks, worth it since I saved so much on labor doing the calipers myself. Autozone top line remanufactured front calipers have lifetime warranty, when they go bad I simply buy two more front ones from Autozone, return the defective ones and get full refund. Don’t pay for remanufacturing kit yourself. Save yourself a lot of hassle.
@@82dupont passenger side 3rd set...drivers side 2nd...replaced brake lines as well...replace your brake lines they tend to clog restricting fluid which could cause difficult brake needing. other then brakes this truck is bullet proof.
@@thomasmaroney2657 .....I agree about the truck being bulletproof, I’m going to drive it into the ground. Changing calipers every 50,000 is not a burden compared to the peace of mind truck gives me.
I have an 03 Tundra - Rear Seal (rare problem). I replaced my rack due to the less than optimal location of the AC drain...above the rack - which rusted my steering rack out
Your driver side front tire is looking odd. Every other thread block looks different. Might be dirty, might be damp, but might be cupping. Let me know if I was right.
I’ve owned lots of Toyota vehicles and have constant issues with caliper sliding pins seizing. Any idea what lubricant you can use on these that will last?
I have a 2006 Toyota tundra four wheel drive have had an issue with the rear drum type brakes , they seem to be not totally releasing when brake are applied during normal vehicle operation. Have had vehicle on lift and tried to replicate problem with vehicle in gear and applied brakes and let off but there is no noise of brakes not releasing when experiment was done on lift . Wheels all spin normal when vehicle is elevated and rear brakes have been adjusted so that one can hear and feel a slight drag from the brake shoes rubbing on the drums . Help please !!!
Rear main seal? Steering rack appears to be failing also. I've seen worse tranny fluids. Hopefully he gets some of those issues fixed. Wonder if the calipers are shot?
Do you recommend a flush or simple drain, clean the screen and refill of proper type and amount of fluid? Thank you! Oh yeah! Could the oily pan be a loose pan bolt and/ or bad gasket
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, they are educational and very interesting. Thanks for taking the time to put them out there for us.

Yes I agree. I was in army maintenance and we had what we call ed a seep and a leak. That Toyota displayed a seeping, not a leak.

This is like Watching Auto Repair ASMR
Rear engine output seal or transmission input seal leaks.
Possibly rear main or the half case is seeping.
I think that would be the rear crankshaft seal housing leaking. Of course if your going to re seal the housing you should change the seal as well.
First the transmission has to be pulled. As you said it’s only the half way down, of the casing. It has no centrifugal force on it. So the fluid will not “fly”. Customer decision. To pursue.
So far at 3:26..Rear main seal and stuck brake pads or caliper pistons stuck or slide pins need greasing.

I use AGS Sil-Glyde brake lubricant. BK-4... It doesn't mess with the rubber and puts up with high, high temperatures.
make sure those rubber boots aren't torn OR aren't seating flush on the pins due to rust jacking letting water get in.

Rear main seal? Steering rack appears to be failing also. I've seen worse tranny fluids. Hopefully he gets some of those issues fixed. Wonder if the calipers are shot?
Do you recommend a flush or simple drain, clean the screen and refill of proper type and amount of fluid? Thank you!
Oh yeah! Could the oily pan be a loose pan bolt and/ or bad gasket
Never take the pan off in less you have to
