The 2001 Toyota Echo typically uses Toyota Type T-IV automatic transmission fluid. It's essential to use the recommended fluid to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the transmission. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific recommendations and check fluid levels regularly to maintain proper operation.
there are no 2000 yaris that would be an echo
Yes. The fluid should look clean and pink.
Check the fluid.
If your 2002 Toyota Echo is hard to shift, it could be due to several issues, such as low transmission fluid, a worn clutch, or problems with the shift linkage. It's also possible that the transmission itself may be experiencing internal problems. Checking the transmission fluid level and condition is a good first step. If those seem fine, consider having a mechanic inspect the clutch and linkage for any signs of wear or damage.
Transmission fluid will last roughly 70,000-80,000 miles so anywhere in there.
Depends if you have automatic or manual transmission. Automatic trans fluid is type T-IV, which is a special type made by Toyota, I think I heard somewhere that a 3rd party was selling this type but I haven't seen it personally. You can buy T-IV ATF from the dealership or some online places including eBay at a slight discount.
