    Question: What's the part number for the drain and fill plugs for the 6 speed manual transmission on am 07 fj cruiser? Can't find it anywhere on the Googs. Is it the same as the rear diff plugs? They look similar, but I can't tell.

    Recently bought a clean 2008 FJ Cruiser with about 158xxx miles on it. I have already changed the oil, all the diffs and the transfer case fluid but I am very unsure of what to do about the transmission. I do not have any service records for the car and I'm worried I am due for a flush or drain...

    I have an '07 at 328k. In September I decided to do a pan replacement with filter and fluid, I'm glad I did as the pan and magnets were covered in sludge and the filter had quite a bit of shine to it. I drained about 5.5qts initially, refilled, drove 700 miles and started feeling shudder in D at...

    Please refer to this thread that I made back in September when I initially changed out my transmission pan, filter and fluid, a lot went wrong and it was a major trial and error. Now 2 months later I am experiencing a very audible and sensational shuddering while accelerating between...

    My car is an amazing example for the mileage it bears and shows basically no issues whatsoever. no that’s not including one thing. These cars handle wet roads horribly in 2H so obviously you throw it in 4H and while this fixes the issue the cars is super jolty and rough at anything under 8mph...

    Here’s the backstory on my 2007 FJ Cruiser with only 84k miles. The tranny was remanufactured 6 years ago and has about 30k miles on it. I don’t put a lot of miles on the FJ but I live near the beach in NJ so the undercarriage was severely rusted out. I decided to have the frame sand blasted...

    I started this project 3 days ago and it's proving to be much more difficult than I thought. I've got an '07 auto tranny with 325K miles. She's still running strong! I am leaving for a road trip this friday and wanted to get all my fluids to spec. I changed out rear diff, oil, and kind of got...

    Hi all I have a 2008 Automatic FJ with 208,xxx miles. I've had it since around 150,000. Done a lot of maintenance myself. This vehicle has been awesome, but the last owner didn't treat it super well. I've fixed a lot of problems left over from them. I've kept it alive and really enjoyed owning...

    I’ve been trying to research this for the past day or so and can not seem to find a solid diagram. I really want to understand how the manual FJs drive train is set up physically (I’ve read up on how it works). For one where is the center differential exactly? And for two what order is the whole...

    Hello fellow FJ owners! I am planning to put a URD SC kit on my 2007 FJ with 37K miles. I read several posts about people installing the Level Ten Kit and how it really helped 1-2nd and 3-4th shifts. I called Level Ten to order the Kit and they told me the kit is not enough for a SC FJ and...

    I bought a used ‘07 automatic with 140k miles. 2 days after having it, experienced shuddering/vibrating about 25% of the time right before it would shift into 3rd gear. Many people on this forum pointed out it was probably the classic transmission shudder and needed new fluid. She’s under a 30...

    Hello all FJayers. I have a 2007 FJ Cruiser with 110,000 miles on it. All my ABS lights came on. When I took it in to my mechanic, he said the rear differential was failing and would probably need a rebuild. ($2500-$3000) including labor. Spoke with him today and said the parts would take over...

    I'm seeing a lot of conflicting opinions on this. My '07 FJ is still running really well, I've been doing some light maintenance here and there. I want to switch out the diff fluid, and was thinking about dropping the trans pan and replacing the filter and fluid. I'm reading that sometimes...

    So I posted earlier about maintenance for my newly purchased 2010 with 158k miles on it. Transmission flush was suggested. I read horror stories about changing transmission fluid at high mileage so I wanted to get opinions around if its really as dangerous as all the chatter suggests. I see...
