Scott, I enjoyed your video but I would like you show how to flush the whole transmission, I seen a video were someone pulled the inlet line from the radiator and started the car and kept adding fluid while it ran until bright red fluid started coming out. Is this feasable?

[scottykilmer]

@Lanche2004 yes, you can do that as long as you never let the inlet hose run dry of fluid

I've another problem on my automatic gear for Camry 1999

(its switching speed from 1-2 normal & smooth, 2-3 normal and smooth, But from 3-4 Very slow) and that happen when i reach the speed from 60km to 100km it don't switch the speed faster very slow and maybe it will not even change it cause I've to move my foot from the accelerator slightly to make the gear switching from speed 3-4 and when that happens i feel like big Push when it switching , does that mean it have to switch from time ?

@midosoft2008 it means the tranny is wearing out inside, that's how they act when they're wearing out inside. But try some lucas tranny additive, that often helps.

if the fluid is black like that, wouldn't it require you to remove the pan and clean it manually with carburetor in addition to using the cleaner?

[scottykilmer]

@mds2465 yes, it's a good idea to do that in extreme cases.

Mr. Scotty Kilmer,

My 4runner feels like it sticks only during the frist few minutes from a cold start, does this sound like the transmission fluid needs changing?
