Cheapest should be to teach wife how to drive the sticks ;)
The 2001 Toyota Camry has a 4-speed automatic.
1) Is it a standard transmission or automatic engine? 2) Front wheel drive or rear wheel drive? If it is a standard transmission, you wont have a dip stick. if it is an automatic front wheel drive, it'll be on driver's side front.
You don't if you're going to drive it on the street, it's cheaper to buy one with a manual transmission.
Almost anyone does. Automatic transmission is only used by people who cannot drive a manual. Recent luxury cars and buses also use automatic transmission. Remember when you take your driver's exam with an automatic car, you will not be allowed to drive a manual. Given manual is the standard that is kind of a problem...
If it is a standard shift and not an automatic, yes as long as you put it in neutral. If it is an automatic you can disconnect the drive shaft. Otherwise you cannot tow it or you will damage the transmission as it will overheat.
my automatic transmission is stuck in neutral. how do you get it into gear
I was told by a Toyota dealer that I cannot dolly tow a car (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) with the drive wheels on the ground. So, a front wheel drive car can be on the dolly forward but a rear wheel drive would have to be backed on the dolly.
An automatic transmission has some advantages over a manual transmission. An automatic is easier to drive in traffic and on hills, as you do not have to keep operating the clutch.
The Recommended Fluid is Automatic Transmission Fluid, Dexron® III/F/G. If you want a longer lasting fluid then I suggest. Amsoil Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid Amsoil Torque-Drive™ Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATD) Hope This Helps.
Drive. If it has a circle around it, it has automatic overdrive.
Could be a universal joint. If front wheel drive, it could be the constant velocity joint. I am assuming you have an automatic transmission. If it is a standard transmission, it could be the throwout bearing.
DRIVE!
