I have an appointment for Tuesday for transmission service on my 2001
Prism.  I am still undecided on whether to flush or drain.  I'm not
concerned about the cost.  I just want to do what is safest and best.
More opinions please.

My old method was to hook up all the cables to terminals except the
last lead and then quickly strike the last terminal.  If that resulted
in BIG sparks then polarity is wrong - redo cables.
This is outright horrible to a modern car with all the computers - I

I have a 2004 Solara that has a SAT button on the radio.  What do I
need to get xm or Sirrius?  Will the dealer do it or are there better
sources for the retrofit?.  I want to keep the radio I have --just as

some seats from a salvage yard but the drivers seat is a power seat. I
currently do not have a power drivers seat. Is there wiring already run

I had a bunch of Canadian dollars I needed to exchange so I went to the
currency exchange window at the local bank. Short line. Just one guy in

Anyone know if Toyota still specs 58ft pounds for the 7MGE head bolts.  Every thing I read about the issue recommends

Thanks

With a 4-wheel disc brake configuration, is the braking force (and
wear) distributed more evenly front-to-back than the use of discs in
the front and drum brakes in the rear?  It may be my imagination, but I
think the rotors used on my Scion (all disc brakes) are smaller in the

Hi;
Has anyone had sludge problems with their Toyota Matrix?
My daughter has a 2005 Matrix, and was just told (today) there is
sludge in the oil and the transmission. Other than a one time slight
