I'm thinking both while I have the transmission out

I'm replacing the transmission and I'm looking for the input and output shaft seal part numbers. I'm having issues finding accurate information

The last few changes, the fluid was clean because I did it on time. I also installed an external transmission cooler cooler maybe a year and a 1/2 ago. I will definitely flush the cooler, or, either way.

I ended up going with a Jasper reman transmission It was about the same cost as the local rebuild but comes with an extra year and nearly unlimited mileage warranty So I'm replacing the rear main seal, while I have it off What else should I replace while it's apart? I'm also replacing all...

I'm replacing the dryer, expansion valve, compressor, all the rubber seals Is there anything else that is recommended to be replaced along with those items?

I've used Toyota dex 3 and valvoline synthetic No changes. Amazon.com: Toyota Genuine Fluid 00718ATF00 Dexron III Transmission Fluid - 1 Quart : Automotive It turns out the remanufactured unit for mine is no longer available The rebuilder is reputable, 2 years 24K mile warranty. They say...

That's exactly my thinking, especially with the high mileage on the rest of the transmission I used Toyota fluid

The current transmission probably has somewhere around 360 K miles. Nothing is slipping and it shifts fine except for the occasional hard reverse, which hapoened after a fluid and filter change. On longer trips, the check engine light comes on with the code for the shift and lock solenoids...

Did that 50k miles ago. Maye ill swap it since ill have it off, thanks

Aside from having the correct trans code, the torque converter and trans are sold separately. What else do i need? I'm swapping the entire unit. It's got 360k+ miles on it and the TC is starting to go. Happened after the last trans oil replacement

Yes. Which is what I've had to do after changing my plans for the truck

Highlander springs might work also You've got lots of information here, my advice would be to plan ahead. I thought I would only want a mild lift and be done but as went down the path, I installed armor, supercharger, tundra brakes, i needed to go back and do the suspension again Do it once...

I've been using Eastwood products, rust encapsulator, and paint finish I'm in California and my frame is in great condition, I've been hitting areas that have some rock chips just to help make it last - frame maintenance

I am looking at the OME 891 rear and 883 front, using the Bilstein 5100's that I have on currently These are rated for the weight im adding and give the 2.5" lift I am looking for
