If its a Automatic i presume it is, Locate the Dip Stick for your Transmission.Once located pull the Dip Stick Out wipe it off ,And toward and on the Bottom of the Dip Stick you need to Read it. It will shopw a mark (FULL) and it may tell you to Check when its Hot.If so go on a Short Drive come Back Pull the Dip stick out and if its below the Full mark ,Just buy a Funnel to fit the Small Hole the Dip Stick was It and Add a Little at a Time until it Reaches the Full Mark.(DONT OVER FILL IT) and Check to Make sure you put the Right Type of Fluid in. Your Local Parts Store Should beable to Guide you to The Correct Fluid: From The WYOCWBOY

Changing transmission oil 1991 toy camry

OK auto. In that year the transmission fluid and differential fluid are not joined (although both are ATF), and have different drain plugs and fill points, so you have to identify them. First see here p 30 and p 54.

http://www.turboninjas.com/camry/ax1.pdf

Note the transmission (but not the diff) is filled through the dipstick tube. It is convenient to buy the ATF (Dexron II or similar) in a container with a tube in the cap which will do this easily, or use a long necked funnel. The final check of the correct fluid level in the transmission is done with the engine warm, and RUNNING. Move the shift lever right down to 1 or L, then back up to P, before checking.
Then in a car this age it is worth checking the diff fluid level is OK as well. You may even want to change it at the same time, which is a good idea. It should be level with the bottom edge of the fill hole. Also good is the have a hand pump like this

Starter relay

I could not find one on my 1988 Camry either but if I read the shop manual correctly, there is no starter relay for cars with an automatic transmission. Cars with a manual transmission use a starter relay. There are other obvious errors in the shop manual wiring diagrams but this is what it implies.

Transmission filter 88 camry

it could be, or the valve bodies could be getting worn out, or the servo could be having an issue. the ****** filter is a cheap part and easy fix so it would be worth trying it. simply remove the pan and replace the filter.

Adding transmission fluid where does it go

You need to put it via the pipe where the meter stick is, it is a long process as the transmission oil is much thicker but that is the easiest way. Just take the stick out, check the level, add the oil, put stick back, wait a while, check again.

What type of transmission oil do i use for my camry

look in the manual that came with the car. it also may be written on the tranny dipstick. if it's not going in reverse, it's not the fluid type that is the problem. possibly the fluid level, but most likely a larger issue.

Power streeing oil leeking under from car

Your Camry uses ATF ( Automatic Transmission Fluid). Your going to have to get the leak repaired, common cause is the high pressure hose is leaking and soon it will fail 100% and your going to lose your power steering. Worst is the ATF is flammable and if it hits a hot spot like the exhaust manifold, it will catch fire. Good luck and hope this helps, and don't let the fluid get too low. Low fluid in your steering pump will cause damage.
