Sc400 Auto trans filter? Autozone vs dealer?
So I am trying to remedy a noise which is minor coming from my trans. Sounds to me like its straining to pick up fluid so. Going to have a go and replace the filter and the pan worth of fluid. See if it helps.
Autozone has a filter, and gaskets for $25.99 as a set. Anyone use this set before?
I have not called the dealer yet for a price. But what do you guys think, would autozone filter be good enough. All stock daily.
Also quick, what fluid does this transmission take. It is a 1997, I know they take some kind of special toyota fluid.

I think there's like 4 something quarts in the pan. 12 quarts was enough for me when I did a full flush, which is strongly recommended if the tranny fluid is already dirty. It's actually written in the owners manual, I have 2 manuals, 1 in the house and 1 in the car, so I don't have to keep going back and forth for it when I need it, LOL

Quick advice; if you use the Autozone filter/gasket, make sure the the gasket don't get in contact with oil or else it's gonna fail soon as you use your SC...
Here's a guide for you just in case you need one;

!!DO NOT!! use the fluid that says it's able to be used in place of toyota type of T-IV it does not contain the proper friction modifiers that the sc400 and supra tt transmissions require.
This is not a place worth saving a few bucks as you will pay a lot later.
The noise could be coming from a bad trans mount as the noise is tough to diagnose but just look on ebay for the mount which is usually 50.00 or so. 7 out of ten lexus sc's have a bad trans mount.
