Installation & Maintenance Notes

• Fluid Service (Critical): Upon installation, it is mandatory to flush the system and refill with genuine Toyota ATF WS (World Standard) fluid. Maintaining correct fluid level and quality is vital for the longevity of the transmission's valve body and internal clutch plates.

• TCM Adaptation: After installation, we highly recommend performing a "TCM Reset" or "Learning Value Initialization" using a professional OBD-II scanner. This allows the transmission computer to adapt to the new unit’s specific shift characteristics.

• Cooling: To maximize the lifespan of this replacement unit, verify your existing transmission cooler lines are free of debris. An auxiliary cooler is recommended if your RAV4 is used for frequent short-trip city driving.

• Safety First: Transmission replacement on the RAV4 requires specialized engine support and subframe clearance. Always perform this work on a professional lift using appropriate safety stands and hardware.
