I think the sealing rings have an orientation as pointed out by grcauto. The literature does not mention anything about seal ring orientation and I am using the Toyota U660E manual and the ATSG manual on the U660/760. However, on the opposite side from the sealing ring's opening, there is a...

Right. The test I am running is with the C1/C2 drum assembly fit onto the rear cover. So, the transmission is disassembled. So, no VB. I am running the C2 clutch clearance test with air prior to installation from Toyota's service manual. My guess is any clutch assembly should hold firm with...

Rebuilding my wife's U660E. Failed to engage into 4th gear. One C2 steel had gotten blued. However, C2 clutch would never engage with air during dissassembly. After rebuild, C2 clutch is now engaging, but does not hold pressure so it releases even under applied pressure. I can hear the air...

Hey everybody, Thanks for your input. It has helped me a great deal which is why I turn to BatAuto when in doubt. I have decided not to replace the chains because I don't think I will be able to get the mating surfaces of all the various parts as clean as they shall need to be with the engine...

Repairing this vehicle is nuts. I questioned whether Toyota is selling vehicles that get thrown away at the first sight of trouble. Doesn't seem like much attention was paid to how to service the vehicle. I've had to use portions of the service manual to get to my goal. Again, a little nuts...

Right. I found a video that demonstrates the removal of the timing chain cover with the engine in the vehicle for this engine in a Lexus, but I can now appreciate that the engine should be removed for internal work involving timing chains. Mostly due to the requirement that the surfaces need to...

This is great. Thank you. Now can this be done with the engine in the vehicle?

Is this the type of answer to expect from BatAuto now?

I'm hoping to replace the timing chains and the service manual is very clear the engine needs to be removed as an initial step. I'm hoping to skip this step. However, the service manual also requires the lower oil pan components to be removed before removing the timing chain cover. Is this...

Thank you all for your input. I was hoping it wasn't the roof panel, but alas it is. However, the fiberglass solution is great. I never worked with it, but since I am not worried how it looks, this is a great suggestion.

I am seeking to repair the rust under the windshield under the roof. I want to weld in a panel, but I don't know what it is called. I found a part called "windshield header" (Toyota 63102-AE010) but I am unclear if this is the part the windshield rests upon. Can this be repaired? Is there a...

YouTube was a great suggestion since I needed to know whether the install the valve body with ATF or dry. The videos indicated dry. I was able to deduce that the torque is90 in-lbs. This bolt is identified as an 8T-5, but the torque value is not in the chart. However, 90 in-lbs is used for...

Hi, I'm rebuilding a U151E from my 2006 Toyota Sienna and I can not find the torque specification for the bolts that have cover plates for both the upper and lower valve body halves. https://d2q1ebiag300ih.cloudfront.net/uploads/part/instructions/4170/TOY181-Tech-Install.pdf?v=1534854473 You...

Thanks, This is why I couldn't find it.

Hi, If I want to connect a pressurized fuel injector cleaner to this vehicle, how do I do it? I want to use the pressurized fuel injection cleaner that I use on my Ford Crown Victoria, but I can not find the fuel rail port on the Toyota. Does it have one? Thanks, Chris

Thanks Jim. You are correct. My mistake was not aligning the yellow marks across the belt with the timing marks on the sprockets.

I just replaced the timing belt, tensioner, and drive belts and was feeling pretty good until the MIL came on. The 3MVFE engine appears to have a tooth off on the Bank One Cam Position Sensor and this is the impossible to view cam when the covers are off. I think the cam moved when I put the...

Hi, I have a 2006 Toyota Sienna that is starting to activate the traction control response while in a low speed curve - and it's dry outside. This is a front wheel drive only model with the safety systems such as all around air bags, all disk brakes, and traction control. Could this be a...

Hi, I was able to extract the pin, so I thought I would post the answer for anybody else that might have the same trouble. The solution assumes you can sacrifice the dowel pin, so if you can't replace the pin then you might not want this method. Since my chain had effectively ground an area on...

My engine developed a ticking sound and I thought it was a hydralic lash adjuster, so I let it slide for a while. Recently, the noise became much worse so I decided to repair it to discover that it was really the right hand timing chain had become loose. The nylon material on the timing chain...
