Any interest in a new DIY 01-03 transmission fluid exchange w/pics?
 
I just did the fluid exchange on my transmission today and I took some pics. I swapped 8 quarts of fluid. Mileage on my car was 123k and I don't think it had ever been done before. If there is some interest I will redo the diy with the pics that I took. Total time was less than an hour and the transmission shifts better, the engine runs smoother, the AC blows colder, and my hair started to grow back. Haha, at least one of those is true (the shifting).

LOL!!
You musta misssed something because when I did my trans fluid exchange the transmission shifted better, the engine ran smoother, the AC blowed colder, as well my horn honking louder and my headlights were brighter. And, my hair has never been more fuil and luxurious!

wow the personal health advantages of DIY trans fluid change! makes me want to DIY the TB and see what happens :) run faster, jump higher and drink more beer w/ no hangovers?

I'd be interested in this as well. I need to change the fluid on my 02 with 108K miles.

Thanks.

Me too!

Is it known if there are any differences with the 2004 to 2006 models?

Need to do it on my 02 LS430 CL. Just turned 140k. It has a tranny dipstick but it sure is hard to put back in. Was pretty dark when I checked its level.
Pictures would sure be nice.

Sealed transmission. No dipstick. Much harder to change fluid.

Thank you for that, this looks amazingly simple to do. Just need to order some ATF and I am ready to try this.
Right now I am busy giving 2006 Honda Odyssey a complete brake job. Not as easy as the Lexus 430 for sure.
