I would like your opinion in what you think I should do. I bought the vehicle listed above is a used SR5. Would you recommend, say a transmission flush or replace the transmission fluid, gasket and screen. Also, I have heard and is this right or not. It is best to use Toyota transmission fluid. Thank you for answering my questions and getting back with me in a timely matter.

Hey T. JOHN,

Yes it is best to use Toyota transmission fluid and to do a flush here is a video of a service being done which will help you get the fluid changed. To flush the system just fill and dump the pan a couple of times.
