sorry but that is just so funny


chinny , not a lot needed , just drain it and remove the pan , take off strainer and clean then refit .
you will only get a small amout of atf out .

some auto box centers offer a fluid swap for about £80 , well worth it .

Just use RTV sealant, apply it with a mastic gun.

Toyota, it probably won't be as expensive as you think.

I don't think there is a gasket for the auto 'box.

not had mine off in a long time , but i think it had a rubber gasket so you should be able to reuse it .or was it bonded on with gasket past ? i cant remember to be honest

but as i say i fluid change would be a better option .

i only stripped mine after i blew my tourque converter and wanted to make sure i had no bits in the pan .

you will only get a few litres out and the rest will be in the box t/c and pipes so you will not change much .

As Vince mentioned, I believe the Toyota method for sealing the pan is actually via RTV sealant.
