If not, I'd get a second opinion from a reputable transmission shop that has been in business for a long time in your area.

I have searched the forum and gone through my manual twice and have found nothing. I tried the same method as my Honda CRV (hold the trip meter button and turn the ignitionon switch on and off) but it didn't work.
Again thank you
Where is the oil filter located?
How much oil and of what type does it take? (didn't come with an owners manual)
Where is the oil plug?
Is there any good web site that can help me with this? or even a book I can get?
Thanks in advance.

still the problem is on my 1995 Toyota Corolla. Engine check light stays on for
no reason. Mechanic checked everything and all him is code "99" which
he is not sure what it means? Will anyone out there would know what that code mean?
Also, just replaced the crank sensor/water pump and belt. Sometimes, car jerked and stall. Pls. tell me what's causing to do that and how to solve the problem. No money to take to dealer for check up nor repair. Pls. help.. Any help or advise to resolve the problem is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks.
I guess if you froze your engine with 40W in it, and then drained that and put in synthetic oil, yes your engine would, for the first few minutes, spin easier with the synthetic and produce more of its own available horsepower on a dyno. I have experienced easier start-ups in cold weather with synthetics.
Took it to the dealership, was told the power control module had to be replace.
When engine is cold have a slight knock, but then disappears in a few minutes. Never checked my valve clearances. Have 2003, 90,000 mi. Do I need to check this? Is this a pain in neck if adjustments need to be made?
Thanks for any help.
I found out that it is very hard to find this oil in Toronto. The closest I saw on a shelf was OW-30, made by Pennzoil. I've never heard about this brend before.
I will appreciate any suggestion regarding the best syntetic brend and the place where to get it.
Anyway, has anyone ever done this themselves? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
It's the kind of job I personally prefer to give to someone else. They put the car on a lift, drain it and pump in the new oil from a pressurized hose. Bing-bang, ten minutes.
As for mileage, I wasn't able to find any mention of when to change the manual transmission fluid. It might be fine for the life of the car. But if you're the type who plans on keeping a car 200K + miles, I think it's a good idea to have it done around 100K or so. You might think about using a synthetic transmission oil.
If you don't have an owner's manual, if I were you I'd pick one up on eBay or at the dealership so that you can have a complete maintenance guide.
In any event, nothing you have to worry about.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO, but if you believe that car will run better, you can do it.
Just go to Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts, tell them that you have 2000 Toyota Corolla with manual transmission. They will tell tell you what fluid they have got for your car and how many bottles you need. If you do it, please go with synthetic gear fluid.
Next, check with a few local repairing shops, and there will be one or two of them at least who can do it!!!
I used to have a Toyota Tercel and did change my gear fluid once. Car started running much smoother.
Good luck!!!
