The car is from '03 and putting new hoses is likely to be normal at 95k anyway, they don't seem to have been replaced yet. The trans is making a grinding noise and shifts clunky when coming to a stop and pulling away (but no codes) and last issue to crop up, it was slipping rather badly going uphill. I followed your instructions, drained the AT before removing the oil lines and everything is marked. I suspect the failure mode is like civdiv and PhilRR describe.
Thanks for clarifying the removal proces! I am wondering if an m/c jack is even going to help me much, I might build a little skid out of 2x4s that I can hold on two floor jacks, not sure yet.
Once I can see the innards of the AT I will probably order parts and while I wait for them it is time for the V-pan gasket....it has a slow leak and will be a good time to tackle anything on the back of the block. Also waiting is the fuel filter and I need to do the rear upper control arms as it is deveolping too much camber. Needless to say I don't expect it to be in the street for a couple of weeks yet.
Wife is driving the Tundra for the moment (at least one vehicle that appears to be bomb-proof :-).
