   I have the exact same problem as the others – 2005 V6 4Runner w/ 176,000 miles on it. Feels like running over rumble strips when going about 30-45 and have foot lightly on gas pedal. Other than that the truck is running perfectly – engine is powerful and smooth, shifts perfectly, rides beautifully.First I changed the transfer cased fluid thinking the problem was in there, but that didn’t solve anything. After reading a lot of other suggestions I decided to simply change the transmission fluid in my transmission. Toyota says there is no need to service these transmissions, but they are definitely WRONG. There’s a drain plug in the bottom pan and there is a fill plug on the passenger side towards the back of the transmission. This alone tells me Toyota had originally planned on making these serviceable. When I drained the fluid it was clearly spent; it came out like black thin fluid. The new stuff I put in (Toyota brand ATF-WS type https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CTUSEMU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) was red and a little thicker. It certainly needed to be changed.On the first ride out I could tell it was so much better. No rumble and still shifting smoothly – definitely the solution to this problem. I was going to change the screen inside, but I didn’t have a new gasket so I didn’t chance taking the pan down and tearing that. But I will definitely purchase a new screen and gasket, and take the transmission pan down. This way I can check the magnets in the bottom of the pan as well.It was a quick job to just change the transmission fluid – maybe an hour. Putting the truck up level on jack stands takes longer than actually changing the fluid. I recommend this for anyone having the same symptoms as described above.

   My 2010 Corolla transmission fluid needed a top up and this Toyota ATF keeps my transmission running extra smooth.

   This was the best price hands down that I could find for genuine Toyota ATF

   Transmissions are a vital component in our cars, and with more electronic control, increased number of gears, and increased city driving/traffic, we need to do maintenance on our car’s transmissions periodically. Toyota’s BS about “lifetime transmission fluid” means that the fluid will keep your transmission working at least through their warranty. If you plan on leasing or selling your car off before it acts up, I wouldn’t bother with the maintenance. For me, we plan to keep our cars longer than the warranty, and I did some research on fluids.The forums are littered with 2 perspectives: use only toyota WS fluid, and those that are using something better, like amsoil or equivalent. I’m part of the initial group, and although WS isn’t the best fluid there is out there, it works and if I change it often, it’ll work fine for my needs. I suppose there’s a 3rd group who will use other fluids as well (valvoline maxlife is what I’m thinking here), but multi-manufacturer fluids may not work perfectly for every brand. YMMV.I’ve done fluid swaps on an ’08 yaris, ’18 camry, ’12 prius, ’14 yaris, and ’16 avalon. All take WS, and all have different drain/fill techniques. All had drastically different mileage intervals where the fluid was swapped, but all are running down the road equal to how they were before. The common thing on all these was I didn’t flush the transmission, but just did a drain and fill. Each car was roughly 2-3 quarts drained, and for the cars with dipsticks, I measured the drained and added back the equivalent and checked the dipstick. For those like the prius, it’s similar to a manual transmission or transfer case where you drain, fill until it falls out the fill hole, and cap. For those without dipsticks, I use a temperature gun to measure transmission temperature while idling after draining and refilling with a bit extra fluid, then drain excess fluid when it’s at the correct temperature. This is somewhere around 104-114F. You can also use a higher level code scanner or scan gauge to read transmission fluid temperature, though the temperature gun was sufficient for my usage.I’d recommend ~30k mile intervals for those who like doing maintenance frequently and if you do more city than highway miles. I’d also say this is a good benchmark if you tow or have heavy loads consistently. Otherwise, I’d go 50-60k mile intervals for normal maintenance and/or more highway miles. Considering it’s $10 a quart, 3 quarts, about $30 to do a fluid drian/fill, it’s cheap insurance for a healthy transmission. Since most transmissions hold upwards of 12 quarts, 3 quarts changed isn’t much of the total capacity, but will refresh the fluid slightly. I know there are plenty that never change their fluid and the cars still last a long time, but for me, I’d rather just do the maintenance and keep my transmission shifting smoothly.As for the review of the fluid, works great. No complaints other than I had several of the bottles seep/leak during shipping. Amazon took care of this however and all the cars that used this fluid are working as expected many thousands of miles later.

   Used this with 2010 Toyota prius. Much cheaper than dealership cost and service. The process is easy to accomplish. I used a funnel with a long clear hose. Go to Ace Hardware and get hose, make sure you clamp securely on funnel. Feed the funnel from top of engine. Used three feet of hose. Works great.

   This was the perfect set to change the trans fluid on my 2013 Camry Hybrid. Much cheaper than it would’ve cost at a dealer and the packaging was great. No complaints to speak of, I’d suggest buying this if you do a trans fluid change on your Lexus/Toyota.
