bought a   over size doorman     drain plug.   y  i cant screw it in? 

obviously because it's too small. You need to drill it to the correct size, and cut threads into it with a tap. That's why I said you need a repair kit.  I thought you would research it first.


i got it thread repair kit first thx

I haven't looked inside your transmission so I'm not going to put a number on it, but failures happen as low as 70,000 miles. Regardless of maintenance. And I don't think you've owned it since day 1.


I don't think there's anything Aamco can do you for you. Chuck recommends avoiding them.
By the sounds of it, reman units aren't much better.
Might be best to sell it while it still runs and get something else. I dunno. Your call


thx , get a used 2015-2017 80k-100k miles. camry or 2018-2022? camry 30000 -50000 miles.

Second reminder. Please.

use a threaded insert to repair it (ask your parts store), or replace the drain pan. Whatever is easier for you.

do i have to change it sooner den later?

Do it before your next oil change. Yes it will cause you problems and could destroy your engine.
