1988 Toyota Van Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Toyota's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Toyota tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Van towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Van is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Van's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Toyota Van transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Toyota Van transmission fluid leak? Yes. Toyota Van transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.

You might even experience transmission failure.
