* 4-speed automatic transmission: This was the standard transmission for the base model and some trims.
* 5-speed automatic transmission: This was available on higher trims like the Limited and Sport.
To determine which transmission your specific Highlander has, you can:
* Check the owner's manual: It should specify the transmission type.
* Look at the VIN: You can use the VIN to find the specifications for your specific vehicle online or through a dealer.
* Check the transmission fluid dipstick: It should be labeled with the number of gears.
Remember that these options are specific to the 2004 model year. Later models might have different transmission options.
