2006 tundra sr5 transmission fluid change double cab 300k+ miles

fill plug location : just providing a picture with the location

got this tundra w/325k miles and no knowledge of a trans fluid change, so I decided to do the change.
I had a hard time finding the fill plug on the a750e trans. Its 24mm and does say WS on it. see picture attached for the location, it's with the red arrow, upward and rear of drain pain, passenger side.
it just seemed odd that it wasn't directly on the transmission in my thought, looked more toward the drive shaft. anyhow it worked. shifting a bit smoother, will do another fluid change soon to clean it up more.

Also did the drop the pan, filter change, and well, that sucked. those 20 something bolts. torrential rain downpour didn't help.

I made an attempt at a funnel tubing thing that didn't work (don't waste time )
a cheap easy thing that worked was a Siphon pump. took maybe 15 minutes getting the fluid in. maybe less if you get the technique. But yeh just sharing some experience for people wanting to do it.

not my favorite job with dropping the pan and no lift to work under. but hopefully this helps save someone some struggles.

24mm fill plug-says WS
14 mm drain plug
forgot size - Allen key overflow plug
10 mm on pan

followed this guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej_6BZpK3gg&t=915s)
just doesn't seem to have the same fill port so that was a bit confusing

 

Props to you for doing the work.

The oil and trans pans in these trucks are one of those "don't fuck with it unless you have a reeeeeeeally goddamn good reason to" items.

 

appreciate it. yep I saw your name in a lot of these posts looking for how to's. Yep thankful I shouldn't be needing to drop that pan for a good while now. definitely a hassle

 

Nice work! I also followed that video for topping off my transmission fluid and getting the fluid level right. Very informative.

I see you've got the 2wd transmission, so yes I believe the fill plug is in a slightly different spot than the 4wd model.
