Yes, I filled the torque converter. I even changed the filter at 230k. I know how to repair cars, I just dont know much about the internals of an automatic transmission. Anyway I found a transmission from japan from the 5S with 30800km on it the camry and celica tranny engine combo are the same right? I am going to go with the transmission replacement and hope for the best.


Thanks guys

So I pulled the code on it, it flashed 62, 63, and 64
62 - No. 1 Solenoid
63 - No. 2 Solenoid
64 - Lock-Up Solenoid

Do I need to replace the Solenoids? or is there a way to test them and/or clean them?

I priced them at 190$ a piece new.
is there a used market for these?

Please HELP>>>>> Last week my car stopped driving, the flex plate and torque converter separated and I was not able to move anywhere. Lots of noise and metal in the housing. Its a 94 with 70k on the engine (used) and 300k on the automatic transmission, I sourced the parts from a local jdm shop. A torque converter and flex plate and new bolts. It was done last friday, test drove it for about an hour it worked. Went to drive later that day and it felt like a loss of power or slippage at first. I ended up on a hill going no where in drive and my o/d light started flashing, I didnt catch the code. Any way, reverse gear works fine. I drove it back to my house in reverse and topped up the fluid thinking maybe it was low. Toyota parts desk sold me 4 quarts for the process and I cannot find for the life of me what the whole fill takes I read somewhere 7 quarts. I didnt want to overfill the transmission. It is still sitting in the garage, Ive checked all electrical connections and I dont believe its a sensor, I have read about shift solenoids on here and Im leaning towards them possibly being my problem. The only other thing I can think of is needing a new Transmission, but before the repair it worked so well.


1. How many quarts does the Automatic Transmission full fill take?
2. Why would it work and then stop working?
3. How do I test for codes?
4. There was alot of metal shavings around in the torque converter housing, could these have gotten into my solenoids?
5. Finally could it possibly be that i need a new transmission?

Thanks in advance guys.

I need the crash bar as well, pm me im interested i live in whitby ontario.

Im in Ontario, what condition is the car your taking this all out of, i need some body panels? front bumper, crashbar. headlights etc.

How much do you think shipping would be on a front bumper to Ontario Canada L1P1E3?
I wouldn't need the preface lights just the bumper.

I want pics of the doors please.

Whats the quality on the parts, id be willing to take the hood and bumper if the fenders were taken.

how much for both doors, picked up?

Looking to replace my rusty doors, i need to find 2 doors in good shape or try to find just the skins to replace. Just wondering if anyone knew how to get some.

has anyone tried just coloured bulbs (not led) ?

thanks ya i took a look at yours it was my biggest help. does taking the bulb out of the existing peice and replacing it with an led with the legs bent into place work well or it still doesnt fill the whole assembly with colour?

Yes you can, members have them its a direct replacement from autolumination.com but what I wanna know is if these single led's will give me a proper light. I have read for hours the past couple of days. No one has really compared different options and this is what im trying to figure out. It will be a big help for people im sure.

i know he does them, he uses led's and solders them himself. Like i said ive read for 2 days..... i just wanna know what option might be the best looking or less complicated then others. I know people have tried different routes, maybe some pictures of other people's blue backlight cc and what they used would be better to ask.

Just wondering if anyone has figured out the best option for backlighting the climate control, people have modified the base with a new led, people have just bought those neo wedge based led's, and some people have soldered thier own.

Has anyone tried this with a couple different options?

I want a nice looking blue for backlight, i already have blue led's installed for the buttons. How can i accomplish this? im not too worried about light dispersion as long as its semi close to being evenly lit.

Thanks guys.

any way to get the bumper to ontario? the ssiii grill, and both door shells? ill pay.

How much for the rears only to ontario?

are the doors in good condition im local and i wanna pick up a few things would like to meet up possibly.

is there any way to make it other colours? blue red?

I had the same problem with my car man, tein springs as well, i was told to take it apart and grease up everything even the top of the spring and the boots they sit in, it makes all movement nice and greasy no sticking it worked well!

I might want both doors if they arent too rusty, maybe a couple interior plastics id be interested in local.

Hey guys just seeing if anyone knows anyone around locally that might have one or where i can get one for not too much dough.

it looks bad but a regular clear silicone culk if you can access from both sides will work fine.

your c-one seems to be cut. what happend to the ends? does it still mount properly?

I have both intake and exhaust cams from my 5SFE that I swapped out. Let me know 90+ shipping for the both
