How to Replace a Transmission | Toyota Camry

- Here's how to replace an automatic transmission in most front wheel drive Toyota and Lexus vehicles!
In this video the transmission of this 2006 Toyota Camry SE V6 was burnt up by getting stuck in the snow. More on the background of this vehicle can be found here:
• Stuck in Snow = Blown ...
An attempt was made to try and save the transmission with over 360,000km on it by flushing the fluid, cleaning the valve body and using Lucas stop-slip transmission fix:
• Can Stop-Slip Save thi...
Regardless, the transmission had to be replaced. A used U151E transmission was sourced from a 2003.5 Toyota Camry V6. The only thing that had to be swapped over was the dipstick and the neutral safety switch.
Transmission replacement on this car involves dropping the exhaust, the subframe and steering rack, removing the CV axle (and thus suspension on both sides). Up at the top, the air intake assembly, wire harness, dipstick, cooler lines, shifter cables, starter, battery, air resonator and bell housing bolts need to be removed. The engine must be supported (in this case using an engine hoist), before the subframe can dropped down. The flywheel bolts are then disconnected from the torque converter before the transmission can be slid off the passenger side CV axle.
While the transmission is out of the vehicle, use the opportunity to replace wear items such as the rear main seal, power steering hoses or rack, rear oxygen sensor, engine mounts, sway bar bushings and end links and control arms, which would otherwise be difficult to replace while in the vehicle.

What an outstanding video. I really appreciate your short, snappy delivery. The first time I did a heavy job like this, I gained appreciation for a transmission jack, because it can tip independently in two planes. Only thing is, floor transmission jacks often need more room than you can find with the minimal clearance gained from standard car jacks, ha ha.
Good tip.
I had the crane to help do the heavy lifting.
Ive seen some people just manhandle manual transmissions up and on there because they are light and don't have a torque converter
Wow!!! That was a huge job to do in a garage, without a lift. Awesome work brother!!!
Thanks...not to mention in the February cold.
@@speedkar99 😨
@@speedkar99 I am about to do this for my daughters car, 92 camry, but its warm and I have a lift and a trans jack... thanks for the vid!
"Hey honey, Im going to swap out our transmission. Looks easy enough, a guy did the whole swap in 18 minutes on TH-cam."
Do you take me for an idiot? Obviously he edited the whole thing. It should take 1 hr tops.
@@mrsargemeister It would be 13 minutes, if it weren't cold outside, and if I didn't have to record myself doing it.
Funny thing is my raw footage was just over an hour.
@@mrsargemeister I think most everybody understood he was joking.
Totally worth it! Most comfortable car I ever owned. My next will be that Camry or an ES350.
I recommend the Camry for driveability
I had the ES330, beautiful car but the transmission tuning is so laggy
It is worth it cause it will inspire many people to fix their own cars for small failures. Bro trasmission job is really hard even for auto mechanics. My mechanic twisted the whole engine to disengage transmission from the bell housing and one month later my transmission mount ripped apart in half on low speed, the engine dropped down on to the metal engine lower cover and I drove 500 meter with huge vibration. Because my mechanic told me on the phone it was no problem if car goes :DD So I wondered what the problem was since this would kill my whole family at high speed. I started watching videos and looked up books, I saw one of your videos and watched most of your repair videos. Now I can repair a car if I had enough tools. I am not overstating myself because since my childhood I worked as a laborer in industry repairing another type of machines and I have a mechanical engineering diploma now. I didnt know anything about cars but I learned a lot of things from people like you. It is worth it. Thanks brother.
I'm glad my videos inspire you to work on cars!
Hooray, you saved this car from the junkyard. Mother earth thanks you for all your hard work!
Very hard work indeed.
@@speedkar99 , thank you...saw how you added many new parts. Makes a great beater car that won't attract thieves don't you think?
Love this guy... As always, detailed explanations..
Yeah
Exactly
Glad I could lay the groundwork to hopefully help others
Doing these kind of jobs on heavy equipment I always questioned nature's judgement as to why we were "not" given 2 more arms and hands. Still waiting for Speedkar99 toothbrushes. At 0:44 it looked like the wiring harness had rubbed the loam off the wires contained inside. Great job and thanks for taking us along by dragging the camera to record. On your back in a cold garage always adds to the enjoyment. Again thank you oh northern neighbor!
Thank you! It sure was a very difficult job in the middle of winter in my tight unheated garage. But I got it done
I've been a DIY home mechanic since I got my first car. Plenty of suspension and other work. But this makes my head spin. You have to appreciate good mechanics.
Yeah it sure is alot of work especially if you aren't equiped like me.
RIP brother's old sock
@@joshb5480 hopefully it wasn’t one of his special socks
The craziest part is this guy has no idea what he’s doing, he should’ve done a lot of things to make his job easier.
@ElmerFudd1911 how many transmissions have you replaced? I know a lot of mechanics and they dread this task more than anything else
Nice job, respect for that. Next video: "Why do Toyota Automatic transmissions fail?".
Lack of maintenance honestly
More like "why you shouldn't get stuck in the snow and burn your transmission" or something like that. These transmissions don't die on their own
Facts lol
The amount of work put into this vehicle is priceless. This is a forever keeper.
Yeah if I had to pay a shop it would have been totalled
Yes, multiple times over lol
Yes, I'm glad you did it Like many bigger compact sedans, with engine and tranny mounted to the subframe, this one is no joke to to work without hoist. Definitely not easy to swap the tranny in the driveway. And thankfully you didn't have to use acetylene to free up seized bolts, something that very common in our 'rust belt'.
My biggest fear was rusty exhaust. That's why you see it's already unbolted in the beginning of the video. If I couldn't get that off I wouldn't have tackled this job since exhaust work would have totalled it way out of budget.
Can mapp gas canisters be used to try to free seized bolts?
This was an amazing video. Most important lesson from this video... Change your transmission fluid at the recommended intervals, because changing the transmission in this vehicle is 100% not worth it.
It was getting stuck in a snow storm that killed this one.
I’ve learned a lot from you. I log on to TH-cam, this is the first video on the list for me to watch. You’re the bomb
Thanks I'm glad I inspire you
You always do a fantastic job..nothing seems to phase you..Well done..
Thanks!
He's def a beast
… absolutely a fantastic video and a super job ! … personally, to me, it’s not worth the effort - sell the vehicle for whatever you can get, and buy another one … … the REAL key is: service your tranny every year, especially if it’s FWD, and don’t abuse it …
It was hard work doing this in a cold garage in the winter.
I took apart the burnt transmission and will post soon. It's a mess
Spooky timing this vid comes out nearly the same day my 04 Camry gets a P0776 pressure control solenoid B code. It's a sign. Props bro, looks like an insane amount of labor. Having to lift the engine and trans to remove the mounts to replace the lower control arms on my car was very annoying.
Great job. I personally would never imaging tackling a job like this, especially without a lift even though I work on my own cars. The most difficult work I've done were a timing belt, crank seal and paint job. This surpasses all of them.
Another wonderful video. Straightforward explanation, no nonsense. A lot of detailed work, must have taken you hours. In future, if you may, please investigate how to replace the PCV valve on 2018 and later Camry 4-cylinder engine. Thanks!
Hmmm these PCV valves aren't near as easy to get too as they used to be. My PCV valve froze during the recent deep freeze and caused an oil dilution problem. 2019 4cyl. Changed the oil and all Seems well now. No more rising oil levels.
Thanks
@Handyman, it's unfortunately under the intake manifold, easier to get to on the v6 2018
More power to you for doing that on jackstands, brother. Was a time when I could do that but my back and hips just won't allow it. Great informative video, as always. I've told my teenage son that he needs to be watching your videos because they're informative and well done overall.
Thanks! I feel like I'm getting nold and not as manuverable as I was years ago myself. I probably won't do a job like this on jackstands again
Man, that was incredibly involving! Thanks for making this.
You are Welcome. Your turn 😉
Me: "Why would he do this? Maybe resale?"
Speedcar "This job took a lot of time and money, obviously not worth it for a car this old."
OK. 👍
It's nice to learn things so that in the future you know that changing a busted transmission is completely not worth the time and money.
My rule of thumb is that if you need an engine hoist to do whatever you're trying to do, it's not something you should do yourself unless you're a serious DIY person.
Just to show all my commentors out there who wanted me to save the car just how much work it is...!
@@speedkar99 I hope it's understood that we, clearly, appreciate the effort. I just chuckled that as I thought of the question, you closed your video with 'This was a waste. Thanks for watching! ' 🤪
And he does all this without a lift...you're EPIC bro!
I did it! I can say I finally fixed something
@@speedkar99 Yeah good job dude, looks like a pain but if you have the right tools for the job and don't want to pay a garage thousands of dollars go for it. Again great work buddy👍
@@speedkar99 surprising, as you usually have tendencies to brake things. 🤣
Brilliant video. Such a hard job but you made it look easy! Thanks for making and posting.
This is very easy wow, men you really know your stuff good demo. If dealer did this you might as well buy a new car haha. Keep it up👍 the voice sound Familiar in the end of the video :)
I agree, if I had to make the decision again I wouldn't have tackled this job
Wow, as soon as I saw you posted the video, had to thumbs up without even finishing the video, nice to see you still posting these videos!
Great video!
Trying to deal with a leak in ATF cooling line, and glad to see that’s only the first step in your project - seems relatively easy lol
That's like a 10 second clip of this whole video haha
"Make sure to dip the bolt in anti-seize for the next guy" LOL like that is ever going to happen again!
You never know how long it'll last
Why can't they make a better design for the torsion bar end-links than an internal puny 6mm hex?!?!
Almost every car I've worked on has this same design, with the same issues getting it loose. Even with good quality hardened hex, heat and using an impact you'll just have about 50% success getting them loose.
Agreed
The TTX links I put on have wrench flats on the back that make it way easier to remove and install
I hired an Eastern European man to replace my transmission and he did it on his driveway and wrestled the new transmission into place on his back with the transmission above him!!
Strong guy. Was it a manual or automatic transmission?
Can you imagine you have to do all this work if a $10 engine oil seal fails?
I know! That's why I replaced that seal while I was in there
Really cool, not many videos out there show work on a "real" car. Not worth it for a car this old... but awesome you did it anyways and saved one from the crusher.
That Camry will run for many years. Well worth fixing.
Thanks. While the car is a great on, my labor (without a hoist or helper) made it not worth it. If I was properly equiped then sure
I have a 2003 Camry LE 4 cylinder and I just replaced the engine or more like rebuilt. I took the engine and transmission out together. Is the V6 any different then 4 cylinder? By doing the way you just showed much faster and easier or what? Just like to have your opinion. I have learned a lot from channel and a very well explained and details. Please up the the good work you are doing great.
The easiest way is to take them out together. More so for the V6 because there's less space.
If I had to do this again I'd go the extra step of draining ac fuel coolant, wiring etc just to drop them together. Too much fingling to get them to align in the car.
If I we're changing the transmission, might as well change the rear main seal when the transmission is out. Save a lot of headaches later on
He did change the rear crank seal @ 11:20. Not sure if he changed all the input/ output shaft seals on the ATX though.
I did change it
I didn't touch the transmission. It was a used transmission from a low mileage wrecked Camry
Might not be worth all the work time-wise, but if you enjoy the work, you need to factor that in when determining if a project is worthy. Also, a V6 Camry SE is pretty fun car.
Not worth it. You are right the SE V6 is my favorite trim (I have an 04) but not worth the work for such an old model
Good job brother. That was painful to watch. Man:1 Machine:0 . I just hope that didnt take too many years off of your life.
I hope so too. I am not doing too well after this 😞
i like all your videos please keep them coming
Sure will....when the snow melts
Well done! Now you have running driving Toyota that looks nice.
Yep! Cleaned up well too
A really fine video.
Awesome thanks
that 3,3 L engine is bullet proof
It is really absurd that my AWD 2013 Lexus RX350 has the same mounting architecture. Same design for control arms, ball joints, bushings, sway bar bushings and links, etc...
For some reason Toyota/Lexus decided to bury one (only one) control arm bold under engine mount. So you need to take all engine mounts, lift up your engine, raise lower engine mounts, just to be able to reach that stupid control arm bolt!
Same goes with front lower ball joints. You have to take off front axles, just to be able to reach that stupid 19mm nut.
Not only that, Lexus manual instructs to drain trans fluid before removing axles! WTF?
All of that for one stupid nut located directly under front axels that smart Lexus/Toyota designers couldn't increase the clearance just a few millimeters!
No only that, you will have to make the same party once you change engine starter and alternator. Oh yes, you will have that party for sure since Toyota starters will live ~110k miles, and alternators will live ~130k miles. Tell me otherwise and I will fix it for you for free!
In short: Lexus/Toyota are cheap and reliable cars but they eventually bust you back with expensive parts and labor.
Agree. That platform is from the 2002 Camry.
Much harder to maintain than prior
"gotta get my toothbrush."
YOUR toothbrush? Are you an impostor, sir?!
Well it's MY toothbrush NOW!
@@speedkar99 Touche....touche.
I'm still waiting for old transmission teardown. Would really like to see what went wrong.
Sorry. It's sitting here and summer started. Still gotta get to it
My brothers got the 04 Toyota Camry same as this but has the 3.0 his transmission clutch disk or trash it don't shift as gears and the fluid stinks shop told him it was the transmission so he just ordered a good used one so next weekend we will be changing it removing it I can do but putt the new one in is harder
How did it work out?
Thanks for the great content you're providing us with, they really help me alot getting to know most of car stuffs and taking a good care of my car.... I have a question to ask if could find a way to guide me through on what really is going on with my car... I have a 2006 Toyota Mark X, the problem is its transmission is not quiet smooth, mostly coming from higher gear to low one there is bit of delaying to engage. what could be the problem on your perspective?1
Sometimes it's just the way it shifts. Toyotas (old and new) are still funky with the shift patterns
Thanks for the reply... i really appreciate
Wow. I'm impressed with the work that went into it. You summed it up nicely at 17:03 obliviously not worth it for a car that old.
In this crazy car market?
Totally worth it.. a running and driving Toyota? gold!
Idk those 3mz camrys are bulletproof. Definitely worth it, it will drive for a couple hundred thousand more miles
I value my back breaking labor I'm the cold of winter without a hoist or a helper more than this. However if I was better equiped, sure. This car sold within a day. Had it been pre-shortage, it would have been a no brainer and gone to scrap (after me tearing it down on videos haha).
@@speedkar99 I actually have a spare 2az transmission in my shed i just need a broken car.
I'm just thinking about how difficult it must be to change the transmission without a lift when a team mechanics with lifts, several engine hoists, and specialty tools can still take several days to change a transmission.
Are you using the car for personal use or are you trying to sell it? These Camrys are boring but they are good transportation tools.
I already have an 04 Camry for myself. I sold this one.
Going off how the car looked underneath yes not worth it
Then you probably never seen how cars look like in our 'rust belt'. This one looks fine.
This wasn't bad. I was surprised the exhaust just unbolted.
@@pliedtka I live where it’s dry most of the year except winter
Your determination is admirable. I got a sore back and skinned knuckles just watching you! Yes I've been there and done that on a gravel driveway.
Thanks. I sure was motivated to get it done, but not encouraged by a cold, dark tight garage. Beats working in the snow.
What about the timing belt? I hope its been done after the work of replacing the whole transmission.
Yes it was done a while ago
@@speedkar99 ok good enjoy your stuff man, I can’t do any of this stuff lol
Is that a '05 Camry SE 3.3 V6?
How many kilometers you got on that bad boy?
360,000km 2006 V6 3.3
Very graceful removal to that transmission. Im glad no one got hurt. 😅
I'm wondering what your specific issue was with getting out the passenger side axle. I've had to take out the passenger side axle on my 99' Lexus ES300 twice, once to replace it, and another time to replace the engine mount bushing. The most difficult part was getting the snap-ring back in place. Maybe because of the rust? I live in Florida so it's pretty much rust-free.
Either way, great video and I love your channel!
New camera? Looks a lot different
Yep canon m200. See video description
Hey Speedkar99, can you please do a video for nissan xtrail T32 steering system
No it wasnt a waste. This was how it should be. Talented and educated idiots designed that car which made the job a huge pain. It could be 20x easier if somene designed it for people who repairs it later.
Thanks, though my labor was too much for such an old car. If it was a newer one it wouldn't been a waste.
@@speedkar99 it wasn't a waste. You could just make more money doing something else. But that never ends.. There is always something else which can bring more money. You gained our respect. Sure you can't make your payments with our respect but it is more valuable than money. If you are healthy, if there are people who loves you, if you have someone to hug and cuddle at the day you are one of richest person on earth anyway.
Your brothers chuckle was great
Yep he heard me lol
Just a wee bit to fast for me, this should've been a two parter.... So whats with the toothbrush, is it to fight covid, high gas prices, promote world peace, or maybe a way to tell folks that your willing to go around the country side fixing their cars below dealer cost,,,,,, put me on the list.........
It's my brothers toothbrush I use for cleaning things
Thanks for saving it
You are welcome
Next time get yourself a motorcycle jack. Transmissions sit pretty nice on them unless you like that stuff falling on your face.
Thanks for the tip
Great video. I watched start to finish. I love your sense of humor too! Even us non-wrenchers get satisfaction from a job well done. I felt so productive.
Thanks! It was alot of work and more so to film while doing this in my cold dark garage. Glad it gone done but I wouldn't do it again without a hoist.
Why not leave the rack attached to the subframe?
Now I know for next time....I wanted to avoid decoupling the lines but ended breaking it
Awesome man. Straight to the point without wasting our time and good camera work. Keep it up
That's my style. Hopefully it was easy to follow along
where is your shop i need you to work your magic on my car please
My own cold one car garage 😞
Appreciate the instructional video. It seems a lot of work that may not be worth the cost of the car as you mentioned 17:03 -- I'm curious, so why'd you work on it, is it just for the video?
For the experience, and getting to save what is otherwise a decent car.
for those listening at home - 'replace' = 'reinstall'
Ya ya same thing lol
God bless you for saving this xv30
Well thanks
Was that last voice the Mrs.? I am just waiting to hear these words: "I made a mess so I'll just use my wife's old wedding dress....". Heeheee.
Oh my ... Nah I don't think she'll let me get near the wedding dress ever again.
Can you start a gofundme so we can buy you a heated garage?
We replace the same one for about 25 miles then, the clutch don't catch 3rd,and 2nd but reverse works properly.
Did you check the fluid levels? And adjust the clutch?
How long does it actually take to do a job like that, that you condensed into a 20 minute video?
Probably 10 days of working in the evening hours after work and a weekend or so
Hard job there - you made it look easy.
Yeah I'm not trying to downplay how hard it is, this video was more of documenting my experience
Did you have any trans codes? How do you check trans codes?
Yeah. See my previous video on the diagnoses using Toyota Techstream
The channel popularity is very high, it might be time to upgrade to an electric tooth brush 😉
Too much bulk
At 17-18 video . Looks like the chassis is cracked.???
Ahahaha “obviously not worth it for a car this old”
It’s 1milliom miles in
Yep! Thing runs good
How similar is this to doing it to a 2grfe engine u660e transmission camry?
It should be similar. Subframe drop
gah damn just sell that car
I sold it
You should scream: "Fire in the hole!" then drop the Transmission, otherwise it's dangerous. For the running red fluid, did you used your brother t-shirt again?
Your fuel indicator was bottomed down, is your fuel pump still alive? or the FI just doesn't work?
This video was awesome.
Thanks
Nice to see the actual work to understand the charges the shops demand. Excellent video.
Wow big job but worthwhile because it’s a V6 Camry, probably good now for another 10 years, lol.
I'd say it's too much labor for a cheap car. If it was worth $10K or something then sure...
@@speedkar99 Yeah a lot of labor for sure, I know it depends on the car but the way prices are going I reckon it's becoming increasingly feasible to spent a few hundred, or even a couple of thousand dollars to keep an older car going.
Hi my friend. What your shop called. Where in Mississauga. We from TH-cam come and use your services
I don't have a shop. Just my cold single car garage lol
@@speedkar99 ah ok. Are you mechanic by day. If not. What you do
You didn't find it necessary to Mark the universal joint that you took off the half shaft so you could get the orientation back correctly?
I agree that pulling the whole engine and transmission at the same time is the way to go even though it might be more work up front. It will be less tedious work than trying to do what you did here in the video. If you can't stop from dropping the cradle anyway, then why not bring the engine with it.
I don't mark CV axles....that's more of a driveshaft thing.
You are right, Besides draining AC and coolant, it's best to drop the whole thing.
@@speedkar99
My 1999 Solara never had air conditioning when I bought it so that would have been one impediment I would not have had to worry about breaching.
@@speedkar99
Coming back on here after a year. My transmissions developed while driving a clunk while going through the gears. There is no slippage but there is an audible sound and I can feel the clunk. On my prior cars which were over 15 years old and over a hundred thousand miles, it's usually a ring gear in gear and related bushings and bearings issues.
I think if you take the air conditioner compressor off you might be able to get the the air compressor by the radiator. I think it's only if the body comes off you would have to drain the A/C freon.
Impressive work, especially for DIYing without a hoist or a helper obligated to help. I definitely had some PTSD flashbacks there. Hoping to see more updates on the Camry in the near term.
Yeah without a hoist it's Terrible. Not again for me
I don't know if you'll find any solace in what I have to say next but here it is anyway;
I was able to get a link to download the A541E transaxle workshop manual.
The manual instructions to do everything pretty much as you've done it in this video except for the power steering rack. The manual says to completely disconnected and lay it on top of the cradle that's holding the engine.
This surprises me cuz it still seems like it would be easier to drop the engine and transmission as one assembly. I guess it means a couple more motor mounts in a few more wiring harnesses to be disconnected.
With my Solara, I haven't had air conditioning since I bought it 7 years ago so I don't have to worry about EVAP-ing the freon. I still think one could take the air-compressor off the engine and hang it somewhere with all the a/c lines still attached to avoid this issue.
I was at a Totota dealership over the weekend in West suburban Chicago this past Saturday. The shop manager on duty told me that it would be about an 8-hour labor charge to drop the sub-frame assembly. Currently in febuary 2024 at the shop labor is assessed at $185 U.S.D. per hour. So close to 1,600 schmacks just to drop the subframe assebly.
The aforementioned also told me that on a warranty claim that came into the shop a few months ago on a 2019 Toyota where the shop had to go through the transmission was about a 29-hour job.
He then said that with my old 23-year-old Solara that the labor could go up beyond 35-hours because of all the corrosion at age. He says for a job on my car, there is no flat rate. It's basically a stopwatch when the mechanic punches in on the job until when he punches out.
Thanks. I was trying to avoid dealing with rusty power steering lines but I had to anyway. They aren't easy to connect when the rack is in the vehicle.
Next time, I'd probably lift the engine and transmission out the top as an assembly. I recently engine swapped a Lexus ES350 and found it easier to go out the top.
Outstanding video and outstanding work. That was a massive job to undertake.
Thanks. It sure was a big learning experience
Haha, with the way you were cleaning the subframe, I can tell your back must be aching from this terrible oily mess of a job … especially without a lift!
Big time!
"and there you can see the transmission is removed" had me rolling. great vid.
Literally dropped it
Wait so do you have to remove the rack and opinion to drop the trans??
Kinda. The rack is attached to the subframe and the subframe has to be dropped. You can leave it in (I did) but it hung from the PS lines and broke one
Well seems like it’s easier to maintain a transmission than replace it lol
Yeah...and to treat it nicely and not burn it up in the snow.
That's why I like manual transmissions
Manual transmissions can have issues too. And this transmission was pretty badly abused. In a pervious video he said the previous owner got stuck in the snow and tried to floor it and change gears to get it unstuck.
Not if you need to commute daily in stop & go traffic for over an hour each way!
@@pcnepal that's what 98% of cars has in Europe.
@@mecanicageneral615 I see your point. I once had a Polish friend who told me that automatic transmission was a luxury option in his country buying a new car. I do enjoy driving my manual cars more if not going to work.
Manual is good for reliability (if you are easy on the clutch, light traffic) but automatics have their advanges too.
This is the second 2002 camry i had had that transmission just went bad out of nowhere, fluid is not discolored or anything just started groaning and started slipping meanwhile every 90s toyota i had got 350k before transmission issues, and there was warning signs but anyways my boyfriend has replaced everything ever in my cars besides the transmission and we have no way of buying another car. And my hub is destroyed because it would not come off when we did that... funny enough you had the same issue he said he "cant" without a life you do not have a lift and we have a cherry picker.
next video, show us how to build cars from scratch
Lol no thanks
You saved a good make and model.
Yeah it will live a good life later on
Stupid drivers should fix their own vehicles.
Yep. Learn them lesson
I’ve removed a 3mz from an rx330 through the top since I didn’t feel it was safe enough to drop the subframe without a post lift.
Would it be possible to remove the engine and then pull the transmission out of this vehicle to get the tranny out? Or if not how would you recommend one drop the subframe without a two post lift?
Yes the engine can be removed from the top. It's not a whole lot more work...just the heater, vacuum and AC hoses and engine wiring harness.
Not a single lost finger, hand, or tooth, amazing testament to your luck!
Thanks! It sure was alot of effort, without a helper or hoist.
@@speedkar99 Well maybe you should buy your brother some new t-shirts and he might be willing to get them dirty himself?
7:15 that one way to do it...
Hello, my 07 Avalon makes a thud feeling/sound. Feeling it when I press accelerator pedal after coasting at low speeds & highway speeds. Previously had a shudder between progressing 50-70mph. But it’s seemed to have gon away after fluid/filter change (came back months after but lubegard instant shudder fix seemed help. Do you know if it’s need replacement or leave alone? I’ve got 210k.
It's crazy how a video for my exact spec camry pops up when i'm having issues with my transmission leaking and shifting weird. I have changed a filter and tried lucas slip fix and redid the pan gasket but it still has issues. i was pricing out a repair and then... with no other decent videos online of the job decided to just drive it til it breaks. i still have 5 gears. maybe if it gets real bad i'll refer back to this video. for fun, more than out of necessity.
Yeah keep running it as long as you can. Stop slip didn't help this one either. Get a roadside assistance plan and don't drive too far out.
What year and engine is your Camry and why did it fail? These aren't known for transmission issues. Previous owner burnt this one stuck in the snow n
@@speedkar99 I have a 2005 SE V6, so also with the 5 speed auto and the 3mz-fe. I'm not sure of any other difference between the two years...
The car was neglected, and maintenace on the transmission was never done. I purchased the car and drained the fluids and was going thru everything to get a baseline for maintenance on owning the car and the transmission fluid came out brown, and not a lot came out. I flushed it and put new fluid in and that got it shifting better but then i went to drain and fill tranny fluid again a week later and it was still a disgusting brown. Toyota said when these cars came out to never service the transmission, and I really have no idea why. If this transmission got a regular drain and fill im convinced it would have no issues today... but it was neglected at some point and service was never completed. It's a shame, because otherwise the drivetrain is very good! I feel like the motor is as strong as brand new, no seals leaking, everything is just so tidy other than the transmission that slips sometimes.
