Jake Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 I've had my radiator out a couple of times lately. Seems you can't help losing a small amount of transmission fluid when you disconnect the two pipes that go into to bottom of the radiator. So now I need to top up the transmission fluid but I can't see where you do it. Also, can I just go down Halfords and get regular Auto Trans fluid or does the Supra need a specific type or grade?

CJ Posted April 11, 2004 Share Posted April 11, 2004 Jake You can get a bottle type thing that has a thin tube attached. This fits the transmition dip stick hole and away you go. Edited for some horrendous spelling mistakes [/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 11, 2004 Author Share Posted April 11, 2004 Originally posted by dude Make sure you change thru the gears before you check the level !!! OK did that and the level actually seems ok. Took the car for a 15 mile drive and then rechecked it, still seems ok. I guess there wasn't all that much that came out after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
