Questions about 1994 toyota camry?

Dear all,



When I did oil change most recently, the person in the repair shop said that I need change the fluid for transmission sys, brake. Can I do this by meself? If yes, is there any special place I need to pay attention to? Do I need to drain the old fluid out and then for the new one?



By the way, I feel the sound from my car become bigger. So they checked it is the gasket. We need to replace it. Any of you has similar experience. Any idea on how much will it cost?



Thanks,

-Transmission fluid changed : Go to Toyota dealer buy the right fluid for toyota's transmission (It is DEXRON), a new gasket for transmission pan.

Drain the old fluid out then unbolts and take off the pan, look up to the transmission from bottom you might see the filter, so take it out and use gas or WD-40 clean it ( don't need a new one). When you tighten the pan should tight a little by a little around the bolts until all are tight.

-Now do not change the brake fluid, unless you have one person to help you so he/she must know how to do that and how to bleed the air out the system. This job you have to see from someone does then you will know how.

- Did you mean the smoke come out some where on the way make the sounds become bigger? If yes, Try DIY to vave money.Questions about 1994 toyota camry?
OK-what sound became%26quot;bigger%26quot;?an exhaust leak?A squeel?

and I do not advise exchanging transmission fluid on your own, same with brake fluid. Transmission fluid exchangers replace about 95% of the fluid, whereas draining and refilling the transmission only replaces about 1/4 ofthe fluid. Brake fluid needs to be flushed by first removing all the fluid from the mastercylinder, and topping ti off with new from a sealed can. Then open the caliper or wheel cylinder bleeder at the rear, and install a rubber hose. Submerge the hose in a bottle with a small amount of fluid and slowly pump the brakes untill clean fluid is expelled into the bottle. Close the bleeder, then go to the other rear wheel, and repeat at the front of the car. If you let any air into the system, the brakes will fade and cause you problems. Best left to a professional.
