Hi, I’ve just replaced the drive shaft on my 1998 Toyota starlet Automatic. 

 

When Doing it I lost some fluid. 

 

My my question is: on the starlet automatic , would the fluid I lost be the gearbox oil or the automatic transmission fluid?

 

secondly do I follow the DIY’s for the manuals? Use same gearbox oil? 

 

Thanks in advance. The cars not with me right now so I can’t check myself, so before I go over to do the work I thought I’d ask so I know what to expect when I get there to fix it.

Hi

It needs an ATF fluid and the best options are the Red Line D4, Amsoil ATF or Fuchs ATF5005, although the others are fine as cheaper alternatives.

All topped up, went for mot and passed! 

Mentioned I need a couple of new rear shocks soon though. 

 

 

Put a new drive shaft,  new tyres, new brake pads and straight through the mot. Can’t beat the starlet. Was my first car and now my partners learning in it.
