How to change transmission fluid for first time

Toyota Tacoma 2002 Prerunner  230000 miles
I have 230000 and never changed the transmission fluid. I know you’re not supposed to do it at this point, but I’m not willing to just let it go bad. I want to change a little transmission fluid at a time. Then change the transmission filter then changed a little more fluid, etc.. Can I salvage my transmission if I do it now?

Is the truck shifting good? You can do a fluid change. But if you want to do a fluid & filter change it requires dropping the transmission pan to access the transmission filter. Have you owned the truck its entire life? Check the fluids color from the transmission dipstick.

Shifts better in manual mode than in drive

Toyota Tacoma 2019 Truck 55000 miles
When i put the transmission in drive, it takes a long time to shift, but when o put it in manual shift it works so much better. Toyota said its supposed to work that way, and there is nothing wrong with it

The only fuse I could locate. I’m sure there is also a relay that controls the circuit.

Hard down shift

Toyota Tacoma 2013 Toyota Tacoma 6-cylinder 4 door  125000 miles
My 2013 Toyota Tacoma 6 cylinder seems to have a drop in RPMs around 35 MPH. I had the transmission fluid changed recently, and it seemed to happen right after that. Can too much transmission fluid cause this problem?

4WD not working

Toyota Tacoma 2011  61500 miles
Yesterday, when I started my car, the 4WD indicator started blinking and then stopped. I tried to start in H4 and noticed it was not possible, and when I turned the knob to L4, it did not work either. What should I do?

Vibration

Toyota Tacoma 2012
There seems to be a failure in the transmission. It vibrates when changing to first and second gears. It is only four months since I bought the vehicle and lots of tests have been made and pieces changed, but nothing seems to be working. I also sometimes find it powerless and not even the fuel performance is the one I expect.
