Change transmission fluid and filter

It sound`s like the excess fuel solinoid is sticking, take it out and give it a good clean...

CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL.IF OKAY.IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE YET TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE IS DUE AT 100000 MILES.IF ALL IS GOOD YOU COULD HAVE FAULTY TRANSMISSION RANGE SWITCH.HAVE TRANSMISSION CODE SCAN FOR TRANSMISSION FAULT CODES.

If your automatic transmission fluid has not previously been changed, it would be a good idea to change the fluid at this point. With 100,000 miles on the transmission, it would also be a good time to drop the transmission pan and change the internal filter, too. That's a messy job, and one that I have started paying people to do--good thing you only do it about every 75,000-100,000 miles.

Ordinarily, it's a pretty good idea to change the transmission fluid every 50-60,000 miles, especially if you do a lot of start and stop driving or especially if you use your vehicle to tow anything. Fresh transmission fluid will probably help your truck shift a bit more smoothly. More importantly, the fresh dose of lubricants and the like will reduce wear on the transmission bands. I'd rather change my fluid more often than have to rebuild my transmission. With proper maintenance, though, your transmission should last well past 150,000 miles; I've seen Toyota transmissions with well over 200,000 miles on them with fluid changes as their only maintenance. Some have made it close to 300,000 miles with only fluid and filter changes, but I wouldn't count on that for the average transmission.

On automatic transmission that has over 100,000 miles,you should not flash it. DO NOT got to a shop that use re-circulate machine to flush out the transmission.

Base on the 2005 production year,you should have only 60,000 on the transmission.

The correct method is to purchase the transmission filter,pan gasket kit + transmission fluid and a trans line cleaning fluid.



Get the complete kit from your auto parts supply store and do the drain,cooler flush and filter change.

Recycle your old transmission fluid at your part store or recycling center.

NO it's not good, just give the transmission a normal transmission fluid and filter change. Flushing the transmission fluid may loosen up any thing that is keeping the O rings and seals from leaking and flushing out the transmission may cause it the fail much sooner then expected. My transmission on my 96 jimmy has over 365,000 miles and still going strong. You may want to replace the boost valve to ensure your getting the proper transmission line pressure, as the transmission get's older, the boost valve weakens causing the line pressure to drop. As the line pressure drops, the transmission starts to slip wearing out your clutch packs. I replace mine every service and the boost valve is not that expensive and can be replaced when the transmission pan is dropped. Good luck and hope this helps answer your question.

It's very possible. Crud builds up over time due to the heat in the transmission. A fluid flush and filter change is a good idea. You may end up doing it twice - automatic transmission fluid is a great detergent and new fluid may dislodge crud inside the transmission, which will fill the new filter and clog it. Swap it out a second time and you're golden.

TIME FOR TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER CHANGE.

If you have never replaced the fuel filter with 220,000 miles I definitely think it is time to. You could try a good fuel system cleaner STP or similar, this may not help but it will not hurt. You may opt to check your fuel lines for debris and change if needed.

If I were you, I would consider a "transmission flush" be performed. Just replacing the fluid (drain the pan) will leave about 3 quarts of dirty oil in the trans system. There is no need to spend the money for a filter, the filters that Toyota uses are more like a fine mesh screen, and do not ever need replaced, like domestic cars. A complete transmission flush is exactly what you need.
