Archived from groups: alt>autos>toyota>camry (more info?)

My 1995 Camry is having a little trouble shifting into first when I
accelerate from a stop. I believe it is low on transmission fluid. I
looked through the manual, but I can't find where to add it. I know
the power steering uses the same fluid, and that was low, so I added
some to that reservoir. I checked the dipstick with the car running in
park, and it still didn't register on the stick. Is there a place to
add transmission fluid that I'm missing?

Add some and have it replaced, you probably did alot of damage
already.

PS reservoir serves the PS system ONLY. You have to add through the
dipstick tube as others mentioned using a funnel, 4oz at a time and
repeat fluid level checks. Of course the engine has to be at operating
temperature.

Funnel set: $1.99 for 4 sizes

If your transmission (95) has never had a strainer changed and pan
wiped in all these years you might want to consider that. The Fram
filter kit is only about $20 (strainer+gasket) and I'm sure you can
find a good mechanic if you're not mechanically inclined.

At least make sure drain/refills BOTH the transmission and
differential (also GM Dexron III ATF, superceded Dexron II).

You add it through the dipstick tube.
