Transmission filter change

Changing the transmission filter on my 04 tundra 3.4l v6 SR5 Access cab. Running into trouble dropping the pan due to not having enough room between the subframe and a part of the suspension. The pan has come loose but i cant get it all the way out, it just gets stuck between the two above mentioned pieces. Wondering if anyone else has run into this problem and if so how yog managed to get the pan off completely.

 

Welcome.
Check out this recent thread regarding trans filter change. It’s really not necessary on these trucks unless you have a mechanical problem.

Although now that you’ve released the pan, that may be a moot point.

 

Are you sure you taking off the transmission pan and not the oil pan for the engine?

 

Yup pretty positive lol, can see the transmission filter when the pan is all loosened up, jus cant get it to drop completely.
