Automatic tranny

I noticed this morning that our 92 Corolla is taking a little longer to shift. I'm going to try to change out the fluid before I take it into the shop. Does anyone know the part number of the kit I need, if any?
Thanks

I've never seen a kit sold for this purpose. You need the transmission fluid and, if you are a perfectionist, you need a new washer for the drain plug. In fact, you will find two drain plugs, one is for the transmission proper and one is for the differential case. You put new fluid in the transmission through its dipstick tube. But putting new fluid in the differential case involves removing a big bolt in the back of the case and pumping new fluid into it through that hole. The differential should have AT fluid in it just like the transmission, but on '90 that I bought I found gear oil in it. It seemed to have done it no harm.

I also heard somebody say here, too that you're supposed to mix 50/50 ATFluid to Gear oil for the differential.........(I dunno why).........BUT..........Haynes recommends ATF only so if anybody knows I'd love to hear a reason/answer!!!!!



Also, you can do what I'm gonna try...............(probably this weekend so I have time to do several test drives)............and adjust the cabling at the bottom of the throttle wheel.
