Before I bought my car the car fax said that it was in a small wreck not salvaged, frame is not bent and the hood was replaced as well as some sort of silicone type stuff on the engine bay possibly covering a crack. Should I be worried? And also my caliper guide pin is really hard to move back and forth even after I greased them should I replace the caliper bracket or just the slide pin. my last question is that since Toyota Matrix have a strainer type transmission filter do I have to replace it? Scotty in one of his videos said no, and what type of fluid should I use in it? Toyota fluid or just the dexron 5 of any brand?
