Question 98 Sienna tranny problems

[wsiess]

My 98 Sienna is experiencing a whirling sound coming from the tran. Shifts fine but fluid light brown. Somthing is going wrong I supsect. Anyone have a similar problem? I have read that their is a TSB on this issue. It only has 72K on it.

Thanks

have you had transmission flushed, I did mine at 60K,

Look at fluid, if its dirty or smells burned you need to have it serviced.

service tech like to tell you to do it a 30K intervals, but that just makes more money for them.
