Yes....the shavings are from your transmission, you also have magnets that pick it up..shavings that are minimal is normal use, if your transmission is going bad, check your solenoids

SOURCE: 2005 toyota corolla s transmission fluid

The cleaning is by flushing. DO NOT LET THEM FLUSH YOUR TRANNY! It will do nothing but damage the tranny.


For as fluid. the 3.2 quarts is if you dont drain the torque converter. If you drain the converter then it will take about 14 to 16 quarts.


The reason i say do not let them flush the tranny is because they force the fluid backwards through the system and that will damage it. Also if the tranny is almost on its last "leg" and you may not know it. Then all that will do is speed the process up.

It differs with use but for a rule of thumb you can look at the fluid on the dipstick against a white cloth and if it brown to black looking not a reddish color you should have it serviced.Either a drain and fill or a complete trans flush if it is black.Your trans will thank you

SOURCE: 1993 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER Transmission fluid all

I would think that the power steering and the tranny are two different systems, unless on a land cruiser they are some how connected. If the tranny is low on fluid, then yes it will affect the tranny ( i.e. not shifting, not going into gear, etc). Have you checked the fluid level of the tranny. That would be the first thing to check out. Also, the belt that goes to the power steering pump - does the belt operate anything else on the engine. I would check that out also.
( I'm posting my comments to you again, since I responded under "clarification", but I really like those thumbs up's, so if my solution was helpful- Please rate! And I'm real glad you figured out the problem. Just to play it safe, you may want to add an ADDITIVE to the tranny, such as LUCAS, to help the tranny out a bit since it ran low on fluid. Good Luck!

SOURCE: 2002 toyota sienna change transmission fluid and

The drain plug is on the bottom of the transmission. Its torqued to 49 nM.
1. Remove tranny oil pan drain plug
2. Drain old fluid (roughly 2-4 quarts)
3. Reinstall drain plug.
4. Measure amount drained in a 99 cent orange juice pitcher from Walmart
5. Pour back the same amount drained using Toyota Type T-IV fluid (available in 1 quart bottles from a Toyota dealer.
6. Start engine and shift slowly through all the gears ending in Park.
7. Check fluid level on the dipstick. Add fluid, if necessary, to bring the level to a point inbetween the COLD and HOT marks on the dipstick.
8. Go for a 20 minute drive and recheck fluid level. Add fluid, if necessary, to bring the level up to,
but not beyond, the upper half of the HOT range on the dipstick.

As in 1973, NO FLUSHING is needed and NO FILTER REPLACEMENT is needed, NO PAN REMOVAL is needed. As, as in 1973 todays Toyotas have a metal mesh filter screen that doesn't ever get clogged except in rare cases of transmission operational abuse, including failure to ever change the fluid for 150,000 miles or more.

How to change the transmission gasket on a 1988 chevy Silverado

Changing the transmission gasket on any car..
You need to drain the transmission fluid - if you get under the car you will see the transmission pan drain plug.

Drain the transmission fluid and then remove the small bolts that hold the fluid pan to the transmission body. You may need a blunt screw driver to break the seal/lever the pan off. Be careful when levering as you don't want to damage the mating surface of the fluid pan.

With the fluid pan removed use a blunt screwdriver to scrape off the old gasket from the pan and the transmission body. Apply a thin smear of sealant to the pan and place the new gasket onto it - line up the holes in the gasket with the bolt holes in the pan.

Lift the pan up against the transmission body and put the bolts in finger tight to hold it into place, then tighten with a socket to pull the pan tight against the transmission body.

To refill the transmission with fresh fluid (don't use the old fluid) have a look on the side of the transmission itself. There will be a filler plug that needs to be unscrewed. Alternatively, you can rig up a funnel/tube and fill the transmission via the transmission dipstick tube. This method takes longer but it tends not to be as messy as filling the transmission via the filler plug.

However, before you start any work on the transmission gasket check that it is actually that gasket at fault. Fluid above/in front the transmission pan can point towards a leaking torque converter.

2014 Toyota Sienna Transmission filter and oil change

2014 Toyota Transmission Filter and oil change - sealed transmission (in your driveway)
Tools:
Jack and Jack stand
22 MM socket 3/8 or ½ inch.
10MM ¼ inch socket
10MM ¼ inch short socket ½ inch in length max
Long-nosed pliers
Lug Wrench
1 mason jar or measured container to measure old fluid
6 feet of ¾ inch clear tubing or transmission oil pump
Transmission fluid funnel
Shop light
Gasket scraper
Something to catch oil in
2 feet os thin wire, or string
Materials
Tape: Duct tape or masking tape
4 quarts Valvoline Max Life ATF Full Synthetic (Back label shows recommended for Toyota WS)
1 Duralast Transmission filter kit (TF637 in this case)
1 sheet 120 grit sandpaper

Note: This filter/oil change is being done while the vehicle transmission is the same temperature as the new fluid. Both have been sitting outside all night. Also, make an effort to capture all the fluid so it can be measured later.

Steps:
  1. Jack drive side front wheel and secure with jack stand. Make sure the vehicle is high enough to gain access and remove the transmission oil pan. Do not remove the wheel at this time. Pop hood.
  2. Place shop light so bolts on driver's side transmission pan are visible.
  3. There are 18 bolts. 16 are easy to remove. 2 are not = Driver's side front and rear corners.
  4. Locate and try to break loose the two bolts blocked by the frame. Use the short 10MM socket.
  5. The socket may not seat entirely on the bolts, so press upward while loosening.
  6. Once the bolts are broken loose, you cannot remove the bolts with the socket - the socket will lodge against the frame. Instead, use the long-nosed pliers to gently nudge the bolts loose. The bolts have a hex ridge running around the top and you can pinch in the corners of each hex and twist out. This is tedious, but works.
  7. If you get the two bolts out - proceed. If not, put it back best you can and get to a shop.
  8. Go ahead and take the wheel off.
  9. There is a plastic shroud to the front left- take out the 2 10MM bolts leaving one push fastener in place and just push to the side. This should expose the 22MM inlet for transmission fluid. Leave in place until ready for fluid
  10. Going back to the transmission plan. You can take out the drain plug and the overflow tube using a 5mm hex tool and drain the pan that way, but I just took off the pan being careful to loosen the bolts on the driver's side of the pan - those bolts between the two taken out previously. Place the oil catcher as best you can toward the rear / passenger side of the transmission and start removing bolts from the rear moving around the pan counter clockwise to the front and the front corner bolt that was removed in step 6. The goal is to let the pan drop to the rear/passenger side while still being loosely held in place by those bolts that were loosened earlier.
  11. Remove the remaining bolts; remove pan and gently peel old gasket off the transmission body; While transmission is draining: clean and remove an remaining gasket material from pan.
  12. Remove filter - two bolts. Shake oil out of filter into your container so you can take an accurate measurement. Note: There is a rubber ring that goes around the inlet tube inserted into the valve body that is part of the filter. Your kit may have one included, or it may not. Check to make sure the rubber ring is not left in the valve body. The rubber ring could be beveled, so take note of how it comes out. Before installing the new filter, make sure this rubber ring (kind of an "O" ring) is installed on the inlet tube of the filter - NOT in the valve body. OK, don't try and pound the inlet tube into the valve body. Instead, Align the filter and Insert the two bolts and alternately tighten each end a few turns at a time. The inlet tube should gently guide itself into the valve body - tighten 6- 12 ft lbs.
  13. Scrape off excess gasket material from transmission body. Sand where needed.
  14. Go to your clean pan; place gasket around the pan; insert bolts through the pan, into and through the gasket. All Bolts should be hanging from the pan and held in place by the gasket.
  15. Under the car, angle the pan up under the driver side frame and level it up - being careful not to knock any bolts out of the gasket.
  16. Line the bolts up with the holes and get the bolts started for the 16 easy bolts.
  17. Use the long nosed pliers to get the 2 tough ones started to the point where the short socket will fit on it. Now, just alternately tighten all 18 bolts. Torque 3- 6 Ft Lbs. I used 6 ft lbs.
  18. Once the pan is secure, take the 22MM bolt off the transmission; insert the ¾ inch tubing into the hole - making sure the tube is in far enough to be secure while not too far in as to block the flow of new oil; wrap the tubing and lip where the bolts goes with tape so it doesn't slip out easily. Route the tubing up and around the fender so you have the end of the tubing up by the hood flange. Insert the transmission funnel into the tubing and attach the funnel to the flange with some wire or string.
  19. Using the mason jar, measure the fluid you caught. I would measure 24 oz and then discard and so forth. Write this down on paper. And estimate any spillage as best possible
  20. Once you have a figure of what came out of the transmission, figure a way to measure the same amount to put back in the transmission. I cleaned and used the same mason jar for the new oil, I did not estimate based on the container markings.
  21. Gently pour the fluid into the funnel - making sure the fluid does not over flow out the top of the funnel and making sure you didn't push the tubing too far into the transmission causing it to back up. Take your time. Make sure the oil is flowing into the transmission. This is why clear tubing is preferred.
  22. Once all fluid is in, replace the 22MM bolt into the transmission; secure the plastic shroud - 2 10MM bolts.
  23. Put wheel back on; raise jack; remove jack stands; remove jack.
  24. Start car in park - check for any leaks
  25. No leaks; with foot on brake; run gear shift through Park; drive; neutral; and reverse 3-5 times. Making sure transmission engages and disengages.
Note: I used 105 fl Oz. Of fluid - as transmission drained fairly well, I measured 102 oz of fluid with approx 3 oz for spillage. So far, no leaks, no lights, no slipping, no strange gear shifts and no strange sounds.

How many quarts of transmission fluid is required for a 1987 toyota pickup automatic transmission?

You need to look up the procedure for changing
& checking trans fluid

If you have a dip stick then you just warm it up
& keep adding until it is at the correct level on the stick

For a pan drop I would get at least 6 quarts

Ask that question using Google

Measure what you take out also

Transmission fluid is darker than my oil

You need to change ur transmission fluid. Like the oil Transmission fluid also degrades and picks up contaminates while it circulates. There is also a transmission filter that should be changed. I do not recommend a back flush which is what a lot of mechanics will try and say is a good thing. They dont change the filter when they do this and they basically use pressure to force the fluid backwards through your system. I have heard many a horror story from ppl getting this done. You could also do this job yourself. It isn't all to complex and if ur somewhat mechanically inclined should manage pretty easily. first thing you want to do is jack up your vehicle and support on jackstands. You can go with just front end or whole car doesnt really make a difference. Then you want to remove the transmission pan. It's right behind the oil pan and it doesn't have a drain plug so you will need to take it off while its full. Have a container ready to catch fluid. Also to make it easier you can take out the backside bolts while just loosening the front bolts to let some of the fluid drain before removing it. Front of car being jacked up will help the fluid drain to the rear better. when you get the pan off right inside there will be a filter connected by a short pipe to the vehicle you should be able to tell its the filter. you just pull that off. Should just be attached with an O-ring. Replace the filter and re-install pan (make sure all traces of old gasket are removed from pan and pan matting surface and install new gasket). add transmission fluid at this point if your dipstick has a cold fill mark use that. You have only changed about a third of your transmission fluid at this point since a lot is still in the system. Now you need to get that out also. Find your transmission lines running to the front of the car and connecting to the radiator. Unscrew the end of the return line coming from the radiator going to the transmission. Now this is important, during this process you must never let ur transmission run outta fluid, doing this could cause damage to your vehicle. Have new trans fluid ready to go and a container to catch the old fluid that will be flowing out. Have a helper to run the car while you are adding and watching the fluid. when the car is running the fluid will start to flow out of the hose. While the old fluid is coming out add new to the radiator through the fill line(where the dipstick comes out). when the fluid starts to come out clean stop the vehicle re-attach the line and fill to proper levels. You now have gotten most of the fluid out and are now running clean fluid. Your vehicle should feel a lot different when you drive if your fluid is that dirty. Hope I was of some help to you.

When my 1998 plymouth grand voyager runs a long time the transmission starts to have a hard time shifting or not shifting at all until it cools down.

How many miles? I'm guessing 150k atleast. A complete transmission flush/pan filter is probably your only option. Other than that, it is mechanical and needs to be rebuilt or the torque converter replaced, etc. Basically, if the flush/pan filter doesn't work, you probably need a new vehicle.

Where can i find the oil gauge for a automatic transmisson for my 2008 FJ Cruiser

This transmission doesn't have transmission dipstick to check the oil, this is a 'sealed" transmission which uses WS (world standard) transmission fluid, toyota claims this fluid never needs servicing but most dealers recommend changing the fluid at 100,000 miles, I myself own an 07 and changed the fluid at 60,000. Changing the fluid requires some special equipment and procedure so it's best left to the toyota dealer on this one.

How to change transmision fluid and filter

Frist look to see if your trans has a plug in the bottom of your pan. If so drain your trans of fluid. If it doesn't you must loosen pan bolts and drain fluid from the sides of the pan it self. Then you must loosen and remove your bolts on your pan to get to the filter that is connected inside of trans either by bolt or clipped in place. remove filter and replace with new one only. Then replace your pan gasket with new one only. To keep pan gasket in place useing gasket sealer. make sure gasket is completely in place matching all holes. When tighting bolts Do not over tighten 20lbs torque is all that is required. Be sure all bolts are tightened at same torque. Replace fluid with required fluid that manafacture requiers for that vehicle. Pouring fluid into your transmission dip stick tube useing a small funnel. Replace only as much fluid as you have taken out. Do not over fill or serious damage is very possible to trans. once fluid is in transmission start your vehicle in park. check your dip stick on trans. If it doesn't read at full mark. Add more fluid until it does. #1 Once your at the full mark place your foot on brake and shift shifter through all gears park,rev, nutrual, drive. drive low, then back to park. #2Check your stick again to see if fluid is still at full. Add fluid if it is not full. and repeat #1 If your fluid is at full after going through your gears. Put car in drive and move forward slowly. It should move. If not repeat #1 #2 once trans is full and doesn't slip. It's safe to drive. Check trans at about 1 mile down road. If fluid is full your done. It is easier and much safer to take it to a garage if your not sure you are going to be able to do all this. It is safer for you to have it changed for under 75 dollars then to replace your transmission. Then to pay 2000 dollars to replace a screwed up transmission. They are damaged so easy and aren't at all easy to fix. So if in dought see a professional. Don't attempt it your self. Good luck
