(1) That this 6 spd is SEALED and he has to pump in the transmission fluid.

(2) That the transmission fluid looks dark when new.

(3) That there is no dipstick.

(4) That Toyota designed the transmission to be maintenance free for 100,000 miles. .....

Then I asked him why mine just made it to 500 miles ... lol ...

He had nooo response ... lol ...

That is stupid. Reminds me of the old vw bug. The theory was the engine was so tight that there was no need for an oil filter. Yeah right!

That sucks. I wonder if we can pump in transmission fluid? I'm sure I could buy a cheap pump to do it, just a matter of finding something to fit on whatever fitting you use to add oil.
