2004 Camry ATF change w/o filter

[john6247]

Hello,
Here is what I did: I pumped out and replaced 2 quarts of the ATF fluid using a hand pump and an ice maker plastic tubing inserted in the dip stick hole, and now I am losing my sleep over it . I needed to push the tubing deep into the dip stick hole and I am worried that I may have pierced the filter or damaged something else...please let me know what you think! I faled to mention it's a Camry 4 cylinder
Thanks

i wouldn't say it's impossible that you damaged anything, but it is unlikely. and if you wanna stop losing sleep over this issue, your best bet it to just drop the pan and do a drain and fill which will allow you to visually inspect the filter.

by the way, why all the worrying, is the vehicle shifting funny?

also, if you only got 2 qts out then you didn't get much. as that tranny holds probably about 7-9 qts.

But you will never get over 4 out of the tube, because the converter holds most of it
