94 V6 Camry-Where is the differential fill hole? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Here is a picture of the differential on a 94 V6 Camry Auto. Now...I found the drain hole, but now I cant find the fill hole as pictured in the haynes manual. It should be between the two futuristic fin looking things (see picture below) but its missing. So is the diff. filled through the regular trans. dip stick like the rest of the tranny? I thought the 94 had a seperate fill hole for the differential. But, this car had a rebuilt transmission put in, so its possible a newer transmission went in without the fill hole.

Anyway, can someone confirm that the differential will be filled along with the rest of the tranny?

btw: Yes, I unscrewed those two bolts on the side there, but I'm guessing neither one of those is the fill hole.

it should be on the left (drivers) side. its close to the half shaft.

the diff has its own fluid. its not filled when you change or alter the transmission's fluid level. it is possible that a different trans went in, but im pretty sure the auto trans's were pretty similar, if not the same from 92-96. i know the 97 trans is different.

Keep loking aroud that part of the transmission, it should be there around.

No those are not the fill holes, the fill. If thats the fill hole then you should be able to see a bit of the differencial gear.

the diff , and trans shares the fluid on the v-6, it fills with the trans dipstick.

Thank you so much! This has been puzzling me for the last few days. I thought that the fluid had to be shared, since there is a fill plug nowhere to be found on the diff. But I didn't want to go on a hunch.

Thanks again.
