To change the transmission fluid You will want to first make sure the car is level on the ground and then pop the hood open. Now locate the transmission fluid container, it should be on or near the transmission itself, and find the dipstick. Pull it out and wipe it clean, then put it back in and pull it back out. Note the amount of fluid it says is in there, and how much You need to put in to fill the container. Use a funnel and top of the container until it is full, or right at full. Being a smidge under is fine, but do not overfill. Now close up the container and You are good to go.

Yes to Laura J with exceptions : the filter is inside the tranny oil pan...so if your going to replace it..it's another ball game..no need to pull it unless your having shifting problems...and then that might not be the cause...

The 2005 toyota rav4 transmission takes 4 quarts of atf iv fluid, and is a fairly easy change. Just remove the drain plug from the transmission, allow the fluid to drain, then replace the plug, install a new filter, and fill with fluid.
