I know there are a few members with 1st Gen Tundras so I thought I get some feedback from those folks.
For 2005 and 2006 Tundras, Toyota switched a lifetime auto transmission fluid and removed the transmission dip stick .
The Toyota maintenance guide only recommends changing the transmission fluid every 60K miles if you tow or drive in adverse conditions. Under normal driving conditions, the transmission fluid is set for the lifetime of the vehicle.
I'm at 76k miles on my 2006. I'm wondering if I should let the dealer do a full transmission flush since the fill and drain only replaces about 40% of the fluid. My camper has only been on my truck for the last 7k miles.
I've heard horror stories about transmission flushes so I would like not to make things worst, if I don't have to.
Thanks,
Jim
