Will dextron transmission fluid work for a 2000 celica?

Answer 1

Yes, in my expertise I believe it does work on most cars but, it won't do much if your transmission itself is not in good shape if it is then there's no harm in trying cause on most cars I've tried it on it works just fine. Once, I have used it on an 01' Toyota Celica but, 00' will do just the same.

There is no problem with using Dextron 3 in your tranny. It will not harm it. If your tranny is old, you could always find a shifter/tranny/console, etc. at a salvage yard and go manual. It's more fun, better mileage and you would avoid the inevitable issues that come with having an older car. Both my late eighties Celicas are manual and I never have issues with them. I did have bent shift forks from a previous (apparently shifting challenged owner) I noticed on a long trip when I couldn't get it to stay in 5th gear. Also it had a fluid leak (a slow drip) that may have contributed to the problem as when the fluid level drops, you start losing gears from 5th on down. (according to a mechanic). Anyway, as time goes by, keeping up a manual isn't a pain like an automatic. Those trannys are bullet-proof.
