Servicing the transaxle on a '97 Corollathere is a differential on the 3 speed auto trans. its in the same casing as the transmission. this combination is called a transaxle. if there is another drain plug on the transaxle besides the one in the black steel pan(its an Allen plug) you can service it. just remove the drain plug and allow it to empty. then slide your hand up the back of the transmission behind where the drain plug is and you'll find the differential fill plug. remove it with a 17mm wrench, fill it with dexron ATF (this is tricky without the right pump)till fluid leaks out the opening, and replace the plug

Do you need to change the timing chain of corolla 2004 s?

Corolla's don't need their timing belt changed...I found that out when I thought I needed to replace the belt in my corolla. The manual and the master mechanic my step dad is friends with said that it never needs to be changed. It's weird, but my car is 12 years old and the timing belt still looks brand new. Apparently corolla's are like that.

Changed radio fuses for 97 Corolla and it doesn't work?

If the radio fuses have been changed on a 1997 Corolla and the radio still does not work, check to make sure the radio is not set to the CD or Tape player mode. It is also possible that the radio is not working because the speakers are not hooked up properly.
