199 Toyota Corolla Manual – How to Change Transmission Oil

This Toyota Manual  Will Guide You of How to Change ’99 Toyota Corolla’s Transmission Oil

Keep your Corolla shifting smoothly.

You should change your transmission oil (commonly referred to as transmission fluid) every 50,000 to 70,000 miles to keep the transmission of your ’99 Toyota Corolla in good working condition. Transmission oil is very thin and, as it is exposed to the heat of the working gears, it will lose its viscosity (ability to coat and protect gears). You can change your ’99 Toyota Corolla’s transmission oil in about an hour with a few basic tools and transmission fluid, regardless if you have a manual or automatic transmission

Park your Toyota Corolla on a level surface.

Locate the transmission drain plug. The plug will be on the driver’s side of the transmission, near the bottom of the transmission case. Place a drain pan under the drain plug. Remove the plug using a socket wrench and 10mm Allen head socket. Let the transmission fluid drain out completely. Replace the plug and tighten it hand tight, then turn it 1/4 turn more.

Raise the engine hood and locate the transmission fluid fill spot. It will be on the passenger side of the Corolla to the rear of the engine block and will be labeled “Transmission.” Remove the cap and dipstick. Pour two quarts of transmission fluid into the fill spot using a funnel. Replace the dip stick and cover. Start the engine and let it warm to operating temperature. Shift up through all of the gears and then back down again. Leave the engine running while you go on to the next step.

Remove the transmission dipstick, wipe it clean with a rag and return the dipstick into the fill spout (all the way) before drawing it out and reading the amount of fluid on the stick. If your dipstick is not reading “Full,” add a small amount of transmission fluid. Repeat Steps 7 and 8 until your transmission dipstick reads “Full.” Add the transmission fluid in small amounts. It takes very little to reach the correct levels and if you overfill, you will have to drain the system again. Always check the transmission fluid levels with the car running and after you have shifted through all of the gears, in order to get an accurate reading.

You’ll need:

Drain pan
Socket wrench
10mm Allen head socket
3 quarts transmission fluid
Funnel
Clean rag

Toyota Corolla Manual – How to Replace the Distributor

This Toyota Manual  Will Guide You of How to Replace the Distributor in a Toyota Corolla

The Toyota Corolla, a mid-sized family sedan, quit using distributors with 1998 models. If you have engines from earlier years, the 1.6L and 1.8L had distributors. If you’re handy with basic tools, then you can replace the distributor in your Corolla.

Trace the spark plug wires to the distributor, which is on the right side of the engine block as you face it. Unhook the cable from the negative battery terminal.

Pull off the air cleaner hose as well as all spark plug wires from the spark plugs; leave the spark plug wires connected to the distributor cap. Label them to avoid mix-up.

Mark the rotor’s position in relation to the cylinder head. Remove the distributor hold-down bolt(s) with a wrench. Lift out the distributor assembly. Get rid of the old O-ring from the distributor shaft.

Get the No. 1 piston to the Top Dead Center (TDC) mark by turning the crankshaft bolt clockwise; you’ll find it in the pulley near the bottom of the engine. Use a long-handled ratchet (breaker bar) to turn the engine. The timing mark on the crankshaft pulley must line up with the 0 mark on the No. 1 indicator on the timing belt cover.

Install the new O-ring, greasing lightly; the O-ring will be a separate purchase from the distributor. Align the distributor with the line of the housing.

Place the new distributor into the cylinder head. Now align the rotor with the mark you made on the cylinder head. Use a wrench and tighten the hold-down bolts lightly. You can order part number A18477417 for a 1993 1.8L Corolla from Parts Train (see Resources); be ready to give your engine size and model year.

Reconnect the spark plug wires to the correct spark plugs. Also reconnect the distributor connectors, the air cleaner hose and the negative battery cable. Connect the negative battery cable. Reset digital equipment such as radio memory and the clock. Tighten down the hold-down bolts.
