Look underneth right beside the shaft going to the front
tool for drive shaft
about $1500 AU
Pop the seat up (yellow tab) (driver seat). Move the floor a bit, open the latch. Oil fill cap and oil dipstick. Filter is on the bottom by the aux shaft. Shouldn't be that hard.
I changed mine and recived help from the yahoo Toyota previa owners blog and theres also help at autozone.com .. I hope that helps
Previa Dist.CapSorry, but you don't. The Toyota Previa has an internalized distributor cap/rotar located under the console on the driver's side. Unless you are a certified Toyota Mechanic, it's basically impossible to change/clean/whatever. Actually... the dist. and cap is under the pass. seat and is mounted on the end of the cyl. head. It is replaceable.XXXXXXXWrong Answer!The Previa's Dist. is under the engine, facing to the rear of the van. The Cap & rotor are replaceable.The dist. is easy to remove if you have enough room to get under the van.Also, the dist. SHAFT oil seal goes out regular on all Previa's. Ck. this1st. as it is the most prevalent oil leak for Previa's.The 2nd most prevalent oil leak for these van's is from the valve cover not reinstalled correctly after removed for any reason. Make sure to use Sealant in the correct spots.See any Haynes repair manuel. (I detest Chiltons repair-no-help manuel.gettocar

Take it to the Toyota dealer for service. This is the best advice I can give. Sully
If it is surging on acceleration and you feel a slip or vibration it probably needs a SAD shaft repair. Mine vibrates under acceleration, but then will disappear for awhile. I have a 1997 and found a SAD kit online for around $200.00. A Toyota dealer in town said they could install it for around $600.00. I have heard a more expensive fix is to replace the whole SAD shaft, which costs around $1200 at the dealer. The repair kit just replaces the loose bushings which cause the vibration.
yes i had mind done for £100 but they have to replace the driver shaft aswell
The rear part of the saad shaft is attached to a cast iron cup-looking thing. The cup has a notch or mark on it. Below it are the numbers 0, 5, and 10. Line the notch with the zero by turning the shaft. And the shaft only turns one way. 5 and 10 are advanced, and zero should be adequate.
