    This is a step by step tutorial on checking and locating your transmission fluid reservoir. The 2008 Toyota Camry 3.5 Liter V6 engine does not have a dip stick to check the transmission fluid. In this video I show you were the reservoir is located and how to fill your vehicle with transmission fluid as well as checking the level. Running your vehicle without transmission fluid will damage your transmission causing you thousands of dollars in repairs. Take these simple steps to avoid costly repairs!

    Don’t need to take the tire off, jack it up a little to stretch the strut with your wheel all the way turned

      Hey thanks for watching. First you have to find where it is leaking from. Then you can figure out your next move but you may need to replace your valve cover gasket.

    My car would jerk when I drive it and next thing you know it stopped running it turns on but it stopped running is it because I have no transmission fluids? Or what can it be? I just know that it has something to do with the transmission

    • @ucanfixit1
      @ucanfixit1  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Hey thanks for watching. Not having transmission fluid is a sure way to blow a transmission so it can definitely be that but without having the vehicle in front of me to troubleshoot it’s hard to say. I’d take it to your local mechanic shop to figure it out and if it’s something simple you can always do it yourself.

    That's a fill plug not a level plug. To get the right level you have to warm up the fluid and drain it from the needle drain on the bottom while its running.
    Going to be a lot of ruined transmissions out there.
