Hey this is my first post, i just bought a 2002 4runner and i am going through the process of changing all the fluids, i wasnt thinking about what i was doing and accidently drained the tranmission fluid instead of the oil. its ok though i wanted to do it anyways:D so now that i have done that how do I fill her back up? I looked for information on the internet and people were saying that some models have dipsticks and some don't? any information would be great thanks

All 3rd gen autos have a dipstick, its the new 4th gens with the sealed trannies that may not. Just add fluid back in through the dipstick hole until its full to spec. Last time I changed the tranny fluid in my 02 I dropped the whole pan which took a bit longer but I got more fluid out and was able to clean the filter and magnets and take care of the seeping issue I had where the factory sealant had stopped working so well.
