M1 ATF Mercon V is understood to be compatible w/ Dex II or III. My '02 calls for Dex II or III and I used M1's Mercon V.

Lots of discussion on this issue here...

Awesome info guys. after I do the diff changes on the 4runner, this is next on both!

Can anyone tell me if the procedure is the same for flushing the trans on an 04 4Runner? (it has the factory cooler too).

I'm assuming the outlet on the top of the cooler is the return line to the trans, like the Tundra's?

Any other tips/ tricks for an 04 4Runner?? Do they have the screen in lieu of a traditional filter as well?

I am getting ready to do this and have a few questions:

1. My book says the volume of the ATF is about 2 qts with a drain and refill. I know there is some ATF left in the system but why does it take 12 more qts to flush it out? Is there THAt much still in there?

2. What about the gaskets Haynes mentions on the filter? You didn;t reference them so I wonder if they were in good shape?

3. When applying the gasket (on the pan), shouldn't you go both inboard and outboard of the screw holes to seal the screw?

4. After you reassemble the pan to the truck, should you let the RTV cure for an hour until it forms a skin before you refill and then flush?

Thanks for your comments. Your post with pics is great and I would not have even tried this without seeing how it's done.

Thanks, Baxter

1. Yes
2. Yes, mine was fine
3. Someone suggested in this thread somewhere that you should. Of course, I didn't and, knock on wood, no leaks so far.
4. Yes, the instructions for the RTV specifically says so. If I remember right, I waited longer than an hour.

Good Luck, let us know how it went.

Should the amount of oil you put back in after the drop the sane amount you got out?

yea great job just wish the boneheads at toyota would give me the same opputunity when my new 08 dbl cab gets 30k on it. don't care what they say i will change my fluid and clean my pan and screen when it comes time cause any truck I own is gona catch hell and earn a living otherwise i'd be driving a corola and pocketing the change. The true test of this truck ain't now, there all nice when new, but what she drives like ten years from now. No dipstick, like I said bunch of boneheads.

I don't think your have a problem since Bmw and Benz have been using this design for a number of year's without any issues. I know the core reason they did this move was to kept it sealed compleated againted dirt but to serve this who's benifit mechicals. Tundra had this design since the 2005 Model rolled off with the 5 speed and 6 speed(07).Tundra kept the design for the 6 speed as well since Aisin makes both.

I'm going to attempt this pretty soon. I'm def. going to drop the pan and clean everything there. My Haynes manual reports that a 2WD transmission oil capacity is around 1.7 quarts. When you drained your tranny, is this approx. how much oil comes out? roughly how much old oil is in the transmission?

Around 4qt. to drain the pan, 12qts. for whole deal.

These are numbers from memory. Search something like "ATF capacity" to be sure. I think there are posts in this thread that might confirm my numbers, but I can't be sure.

Don't forget to clean the magnets.

thanks.. I also have one more question

Some people use wire wheels to clean off the old sealant quickly. I assume that there is a low possibility of damage since it's recommended by most over plastic scrapers. What about the old sealant on the outside of the transmission itself? A wire wheel safe for that too? It seems like sealant flying everywhere could land where you don't want it to. Anybody use a wire wheel for this? What should I watch out for?

Thanks
