Ok.. I just changed teh spark plugs for my 99 gs300 to denso iridiums myself took two days, cause i didnt have the right tools. After I installed them i took em for a test drive. RUNS PERFECT.

But dum dum duuum, I decided to drain and refill my transmission fluid when i came back from the test drive. Now I'm starting to hear this sputter sputter sound.

What could it be? Dont tell me its the spark plugs cause some fluid dripped into them when iwas putting the new ones in. Or there isnt enough transmission fluid?

Help!!

How did you check the transmission fluid?

With the dip stick hot or cold levels, I found the way to this on Bananas DIY page.

Drive around for about 10-15 minutes or so and then park your car. Check the level with the engine on. Read the Hot level.

The Cold level on the dipstick is so inaccurate.

So where should the it be around the Hot Level?

At the top of the hot level is where the max fluid should be, when it's hot (of course).

I use to use the cold level, but then i experienced tranny slipping and such. Turns out, the cold level is VERY inaccurate.

I fixed the sputter sputter problem. The spark plugs were drenched from radiator fluid when I took them out again.
