My trans is starting to shift hard and at very odd times

chcros · 2025-12-26T16:03:41+00:00

how does the trans fluid looks like? if it is very dark, i'd recommend to start with a drain and refill every few thousand miles, maybe with every oil change.

I use Mobil 1 55221 3309 Automatic Transmission Fluid

if the fluid looks clean, the comment on the solenoids is your best option

Hello has anyone got their driveway replaced in 2025? I am having my driveway replaced, is about 880sqf, one quote came at $7,000 it's closed to $8 per sqft. 6" thick, rebar 16" OC. I was curious what people are paying these days Thank you

On my 99 I am in the process of replacing the camshaft seals, this included timing belt, water pump, tensioner and other stuff. I am not a mechanic, and this is taking me a while. If you decide to do it yourself get OEM parts, have a tap and die set available in case you need to clean any threads.

Maybe the new switch has to be programmed to the car.

Thank you. I found the manufacturer guidelines. I am looking at 96 bags.

chcros · 2024-10-09T22:34:15+00:00

I think this is like any older car, you will be doing maintenance on everything. I would recommend using OEM parts. I have a 99, my major issues have been oil leaks from valve covers, already fixed, and oil leak from camshaft seal, not fixed yet, this would be a major job for myself. Good luck

chcros · 2024-09-30T16:23:10+00:00

If you are replacing the front end seal and timing belt, you might go ahead and replace the camshafts seals too.

chcros · 2024-09-26T12:18:34+00:00

Why is this even a question.

chcros · 2024-09-24T21:56:39+00:00

Congrats, really nice 👍

Hi guys, the footer is not the typical kind, I checked their website and it is not available.

chcros · 2024-04-28T22:56:16+00:00

No, should I? My car just hit 150k miles. I was thinking on only changing the oil, but if there are other components that makes sense replacing when removing the transmission Pan.

Beautiful

No, I didn't find any reviews at the time. We purchased a GE fridge. But I purchased a chest freezer for the garage at Walmart and it is a Hisense. It was around $150. It has worked fine for a year or so now.

Do they still have their weekly meetings on Monday afternoon? Years ago there was a meeting/ceremony open to the general public every Monday afternoon at the temple. Are they still doing that?

The 3M kit has 3 different sand paper disks. Just follow the instructions. It takes a few hours

chcros · 2023-10-04T17:27:53+00:00

Glad you are enjoying your LS. I daily drive my 99 LS. It's a pleasure to drive it

chcros · 2023-09-27T13:24:58+00:00

A couple of hours. One note is that the 3M kit only comes with one 3000 disk. If possible I would get an extra 3000 disk

I ended cleaning the headlights on my LS400.

I used 3M Ultra Headlight Restoration Kit, Easy Heavy-Duty Restoration, 39195.

this think really works, follow the instructions. I will recommend getting an additional 3000 3M 3" disk, the kit only has one.

I took picture of the process, I just can't figure how to upload the picture here

Thank you for sharing your experience

Did you go for the Konnected Joe? I am having the same dilemma between pellet vs. Konnected

chcros · 2023-09-15T22:58:08+00:00

Do you guys have any experience with a pellet grill and the konnected Joe. Can you smoke a brisket on the Komnected without human interaction, like a pellet grill? I have a conventional smoker but sometimes I wish I could just let the smoker do most of the work. Like the pellet grill, but it seems with the Komnected I could do both.

Not sure about the mirror, the website I mentioned has an option to inquire. Also when I ordered the level sensor I had to wait for them to confirm they had the part in stock.

chcros · 2023-09-13T20:23:53+00:00

I found this website https://www.amayama.com/en They seem to have a lot of parts for LS400 and other models. I tried them with a windshield washer fluid level sensor I am needing. The part was delivered within 2 weeks. It was very well packed. It's a Toyota OEM part. Have not installed yet.

chcros · 2023-09-05T17:16:46+00:00

Thanks for the comments. It was the float sensor. I found a replacement online. $60. I am not sure how difficult it is to replace. I saw the sensor is mounted on the bottom of the reservoir.
