About to attempt replacing the transmission filter and fluid at 129K miles and I see that at least one, maybe two bolts are very difficult to access. Does this procedure require unbolting a mount and jacking the transmission assembly up to gain access? Anyone know of a DIY link to the process?

Hello,

I have a 2000 Lexus ES300, and I didn't have nearly as much trouble taking the pan off. In your vehicle, however, it does appear that you need to lift the transmission up slightly to gain access to those bolts, below is the video on how to take the pan off on those cars.


Hope this helps and best of luck!

Thank you very much for that link. I was looking for one just like it and all I could find are other Camry and ES videos where the bolts are not hidden like they are on my car. A few mount bolts and a floor jack and block of wood will do the trick.
