The 1994 -1996 Toyota Camry has a flexible joint inline with the Rear Catalytic Converter. (Yes two converters!) The Flex joint develops a leak and then the vehicle sounds like a tank driving down the road. The Flex joint is welded onto the pipe so it is not replaceable. Fortunately the cost for the entire pipe with the converter is very reasonably priced! Replacing the entire Converter pipe will have the vehicle back on the road in very little time.
Our Toyota dealer has estimated to be around $300.
No you don't. They can cut the pipe and weld the flex pipe into place...otherwise it will get VERY costly
You get a catalitic converter with flex pipe on ebay.com for arround $300 and labor will at least one hour (depends on region). You are facing a bill about ~$400.
If its just the Flex pipe replacement it should not cost more than $120 with tax. I recently had mine replaced. -Gokul
If you do it by yourself, it's about $50-100. If you ask your shop to do it for you it's about $200 and more.
The dealer quotes $1700 for the whole assembly. A non Toyota shop can generally weld a new one in for $200 or less
A GOOD MUFFLER SHOP LIKE MEINEKE CAN CUT OUT THE BAD SECTION OF FLEX PIPE AND WELD IN A NEW ONE. USUALLY TH PIPE IS AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN NEW.
The Toyota Camry has been in production for a number of years. Identifying the OE recommended oil and viscosity is dependent on production year and type of use the engine is subject to, and its operating environment (summer, arctic, etc). The 2013 Toyota Camry with the 2.5L 4-cylinder options (both gasoline and Flex-Fuel) can use API rated 0W20 and 5W20 year round.
i need to replace the flex shaft in my weedeater. how do i do it?
remove engine or transmission replace flex plate (flywheel).
The 2004 Toyota Camry has the most common hook-end wiper arms. See sources and related links below for installation videos. Also, purchase the replacement blades first and there will be additional instructions/illustrations on the replacement packages. Locate and press the tab or button where the wiper blade is inserted into the hook of the wiper arm and pull wiper blade out of hook. You may have to rotate and flex the blade to make enough clearance for the hook to pass through.
The flex plate is bolted to the back of the crankshaft. It connects the motor to the torque converter in the transmission. To replace you remove the transmission and replace it.
Yes, there is..
2.25 inch
You can use regular exhaust pipe providing it fits and you can bend it into the location.
Most car companies are going in the direction of creating fuel efficient cars and trucks, but you might want to contact Toyota at their website Toyota.com and ask them when they will start production on flex fuel cars. GM currently has vehicles that are flex fuel so go to Chevy.com or GMC.com and look at what flex vehicles are out on the road currently.
It is important to know the cost of the repairs in a vehicle. For a 1998 Ford Escort it will cost between $20 and $50 to replace the flex plate.
You need to replace it by welding a new flexpipe in its place. Flex pipes have too much heat to be glued or wrapped.

Take the iron apart and fit new flex the same way old one was fitted. About 1-2 hours work.
The transmission has to be dropped first. then the torque convert/clutch needs to be removed to gain access to the flex plate, which can then be replaced.
its the same as replacing the the pads on a 05 ford f100
Remove the inspection plate/dust cover from the bell housing. Disconnect the torque converter from the flex plate. Remove the drive shaft from the transmission. Separate the engine and transmission and support the transmission while you remove the flex plate. Replace the flex plate and put it all back together.
