Thanks for the video. I have an '87 Toyota base pickup. The fill plug bolt head was stripped, just like yours. I heated it up with a MAP gas torch, then used a 17mm bolt extractor. Came right off.
Thanks for the video. I have 1 comment to add: Initially upon removal the drain plug didn't look dirty, just smooth and a little slimy. But I dug deep into the top of the plug with a screwdriver to reveal a magnet, and the slime that I carved from it is actually fine metal shavings scavenged from the fluid. When the plug is clean, you can clearly see the magnet and you have to clean the recess around the magnet to get all the shavings out of it. This step should be mentioned in the You Tube video.
Mike Lerner thanks for the feedback and input. Your point is well taken but not all of the 22R engines shipped with the magnetic drain plug. Some later models may have. I know Toyota does make an OEM replacement for the drain plug that is a low profile magnetic version with a hex head. Im curious: is yours the original bolt type or the hex kind? Thanks.
My plug is a hex kind. I doubt that it was ever replaced because everything else that was done to the truck was totally losersville. So please if you can update the video to warn viewers that the plug may be magnetic, and if not, they should consider replacing it with that OEM replacement. By the way will any 17 mm plug work? If so there would be a wide range to choose from. Just thinking maybe 1988 parts might no longer be available.
Zach Whitman thanks for the tip. It actually does have one now! Not during the filming of this video. Definitely one of the best performance and efficiency upgrades for the money.
I apologize if this is a stupid question. Do you have to jack up the truck to do this? I am wondering if it is an essential step to help the transmission fully drain. If not, I plan to do it right on the ground. Thank you for the detailed video!
Hello, you don't have to jack up the truck to access what you need to. If you do decide to jack it up, make sure you raise the rear also so it's level. But I would just leave it on the ground! At the beginning of the video I do have it on ramps, so good question and sorry for the confusion.
I know this video is old, but I have a 1994 Toyota pickup and was wondering if this was similar to that year? It's the automatic version and only had 133k miles. I need to change the trans fluid and filter. Any tips?
Hey! I think it would be very similar on that year. Your truck probably has the W56 transmission and the process is the same. I'd go for it, it's easy and very similar to what you see in the video.
I have an 86 toyota 4x4 that probably needs this (about 350,000 miles and I don't think it's ever been done). Lol. I do have a question that I can't find an answer for on the internet so far. My truck has driven fine for months now but it's not an every day driver due to needing a new carburetor. The other day I cranked it to move it and it would not go. Running and the clutch feels fine, but no matter what gear it is in, it is like it's in nuetral. Any idea on what this may be? Any help will be much appreciated.
Sounds tricky! Have you checked the obvious things like slave and master clutch cylinder and drive shaft? No signs of leaking? That's frustrating when things happen and you're not sure why! Good luck.
@@Greenredfield , no I have not slowed down enough to check into it since I have another truck to drive. A friend who had a 2 wd one years ago and is familiar with standard shift vehicles said it could be the synchronizer. Not sure, but he said his mustang did the same thing once and that was the problem. Just can't believe it went from doing fine to nothing! I'll check those though and see in case i have a slow leak. Thanks.
@@Greenredfield , I did get around to checking my slave cylindar and master breack cylindar and both appear to be fine. Plan to get a mechanic buddy to look at it in the next couple of weeks (hunting season starts this weekend! Lol)
Hi, today we're going to teach you how to ruin the brass synchros in your early Toyota manual transmission by using GL-5 high sulfur content gear oil...
Thanks for the video. I have an '87 Toyota base pickup. The fill plug bolt head was stripped, just like yours. I heated it up with a MAP gas torch, then used a 17mm bolt extractor. Came right off.
The good ol fire wrench! Glad you got it busted loose.
I also have a 91 Toyota pickup and it has 257k miles on it, definitely need to flush out the trans fluid. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. I will change the t-fluid from my 1990 toyota P-U. Which is with me 18 years.

Mike Lerner pretty interesting for sure! What year is your Toyota? Thanks for the comment.
Mike Lerner 1988 is your year I assume. Toyota still makes the OEM part it’s currently manufactured.
ok, thanks
Thanks! Just about to change mine . I have a 1981 toyota hilux 4x4 longbed! Thanks again man
_prospeed_rc__ _ good job. This truck is an 81 longbed as well.
I got an 81 rwd dually , would this be the same for that or did you change the gear oil on the trans case ?
Don't hear too many 4x4 longbeds...did they make em in a Xtra cab I wonder?
Good video, thanks!
Probably good idea fill with some regular oil run around, drain again... It'll take the rest of the old nasty stuff out then put the good gear oil
Looks like your trusty old rig would love a weber redline- my 2wd 22r '88 sure did!!!
Zach Whitman thanks for the tip. It actually does have one now! Not during the filming of this video. Definitely one of the best performance and efficiency upgrades for the money.
thanks a lot for this video.
Believe me my brother. I know the feeling. 87 Toyota 4x4 gear oil never been changed by previous owner
I poured mine in through the shifter lol
I'm doing that now
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Nice video,.
280k on my 84 🙌🏽

@@Greenredfield Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I appreciate your time and for making this great video!
What is the part number of the filler plug?
No one seems to answer the question, 'which DIRECTION' does this dam bolt loosen? Counterclockwise or clockwise?
Jason Barraza you're the first to ask brother! Counter clockwise.

@@Greenredfield automatics are different and require different fluid, not gear oil, but atf.
Im sorry this is a stupid question but is there not a bip stick so you can check the transmission fluid?
Not on these old trucks unfortunately.
I’m about to do this on my 93 4wd...I will run Lucas
Run Amsoil
@@billythomas4527 why Amsoil?
You can get a small hand pump that screws right on the bottles for less than 20 dollars. a lot faster!
Faster than a funnel,,, nah

@@anthonygreer3724 Sorry that didn't do it, glad you have the help. Let me know what you find out.
@@Greenredfield, will do!
I was wondering do 22RE automatic transmission have a filter inside the pan ?
Yes
@@sleeks9939 Haha I found out before. Thanks anyways dawg
Don't forget the rear diff.
🌵🌵🌵👍👍👍
Driver side or passenger side
Wheres the overflow or fill plug
Fill plug is on the driver side.
Ok cool
Don't you have to do the transfer case separate?
Yes, it is separate. Even easier to do. A few models out there.
I have an 86 automatic, is the process roughly the same?
Yes, but you may have a filter you need to change and different fluid/fittings etc but the process roughly the same indeed.
Hi, today we're going to teach you how to ruin the brass synchros in your early Toyota manual transmission by using GL-5 high sulfur content gear oil...
Александр Перчов where in the video do we tell people which gear oil to use? Enjoy your hatorade.
What size is the fill plug
17mm
You know to only use gl-4 gear oil in the trans, right?
Adam Wilson that's not what Toyota said or the FSM has in it. Interested in your perspective if you have more to say.
