How to make the A650e hold power! Building your Lexus IS300 Auto Transmission on a budget! DIY Video
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- This video uses the tutorial found on IS-Elite.com that walks us through the diy of how to build the automatic trans to hold boost. This is basically like putting a shift kit into the transmission. This modification will allow the transmission to hold more power, shift faster, and last longer under the stress of added power all on a budget. This mod is one of the cheapest things you can do to the valve body upgrade.
Follow Andrew's build at / dthmtlsk8r
This process will work on all Toyota A650E transmission out of the following cars from 1998 to 2005 and pretty much any rear wheel drive Lexus or Toyota.
IS300, GS300, GS400, GS430, SC300, SC400, SC430, LS400, LS430, Altezza, Crown.
The first three accumulators need to be shimmed 14-18 mm and the last one gets shimmed 8-12 mm.
Really taking the "putting money into the car" quite seriously on this one haha

@@RacecarAndChill hey bro nice tutorial btw.i m just wondering if this kind of mod can be applied on honda b series auto trans?i m searchin for the accumulator but cant find any in it
@@ridejer5707 honestly I have no idea how those transmissions work so I cant tell you.
💀😂
This build is pennies on the dollar my bmw ran on blending paycheck
Thank you so much. No one really does video write ups for this kind of things nowadays... And with quality!!
hoang linh glad to help the community!
Best video on shimming the A650 I've ever seen. Awesome job dude. Clear and straight to the point. Mad props to you.
Stig's Italian Cousin thank you sir!
Gives a new meaning to money shift! Great video man.
Thanks man!
This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Will it shift hard? Yes absolutely because accumulators are designed to soften shifts HOWEVER making your transmission slam gear will do absolutely NOTHING to make it "hold more power". Will it chirp the tires? Maybe if that's what you want but be ready for clunky down shifting and a generally uncomfortable transmission for daily use. Also, making your transmission slam gears will do more to hurt internal parts than help them "hold more power".
Also on a side note, pulling the transmission is 1000% unnecessary. All you did was pull the VB and shim the accumulators. WTF would you add several more hrs to a relatively easy 1.5hr maybe 2hr job?
I suppose all of this was because I have a customer asking me to do this and somehow guarantee any of his bullshit.
24yrs building transmissions btw
This is why I listen everytime Cody gives advice online
This guy is the goat. Now I know where to start with my IS300
Lol I was waiting for a "your fucked" or "have fun fucking up your transmission" joke at the end lmao I guess this is real.
It will shift on a dime and leave 9 cents change after this mod
😂😂
I love that toyota just decided to make most of their lexus brand almost race ready from the 90's to the very early 2000's lol, you just gotta be willing to put $1200 in and a week in garage time not including the time it takes for parts to come in
You're awesome, Stan. Thanks for posting vids like this. IS300 FTW!
Glad to help man. Hopefully this will mean we can see more turbo IS300's around!
Yup. Just so much info out there, you know? But I'm grateful for people like you that take their time to show shit "IRL" opposed to just doing excerpts of "here's the beginning and here's the end".
You just earned yourself a subscriber.
Good Video, Except the 4th one you shimmed, does have a bucket way down at the bottom of the Hole you can pull it out with your finger if you put too many washers or coins you can block the holes in the sides of the bucket blocking oil flow and no doubt burning or damaging the Trans! It seems like youtube is Scrapping Most 98 to 05 Lexus IS+ GS Mods Video's used to be a lot of Great Things for the 2nd. Generation Lexus But Now Few and Far between, Need to chip in and give Chris Fix a Lexus GS300 or IS lol! Have to Look Elsewhere!
Yea man this was stellar very well done pointing out all the little stuff you need to keep track of 👍🏼
Happy to help!
RacecarAndChill hope you blow up dude (in a good way lol) need more channels with people who know their stuff and care enough to explain it well. Earned my sub and I’ll be sharing good luck to you
@@Vehicular.Shenanigans thanks man. I appreciate you being here! ❤
Just got done shimming mine, thank you so much for the video, wasn’t too sure how many’s nickels you used on the last actuator but I counted 6 in your hand LMAO and used about 6 washers for the 3 to even it out somewhat w the second
So as long as I keep to a max of 18mm on the first three accumulators I should be okay right? How aggressive are they at 18mm? Also do you have to remove bellhousing bolts and torque converter to remove the main housing of transmission? Look like your example transmission doesn't have the bell housing connected to it. Thanks
Another UK viewer here 🇬🇧😁
I think I love you for this video I’m definitely doing this before I boost haha...THANK YOU!
Happy to help man. Good luck!
Underrated channel
We're getting there. Slowly but surely!
Ez budget shim for my 450hp 2jzge nat build THANK YOU
Next guy working on the transmission, "how the heck all those coins get in there?"
Great vids Stan keep up the good work! I have a few questions about the ecu setup for this mod. Is Cody using the factory ecu and a stand-alone together? Or just stand-alone? If he’s using the factory ecu what sensor inputs are still necessary to shift the trans?
His car has since been parted out. But when it was running, he had the stock ecu running the transmission and a standalone running his engine. The stock ecu pretty much just needs to see the throttle body to keep shifting the transmission. If you want to delete the stock throttle body to use a ffim setup or have your standalone run the throttle, what you can do is leave the stock throttle body wired into the trunk so the stock ECU still thinks it's running the engine.
How much power will it withstand with this upgrade?
Great video.
Does turning the adjustment screw work the screw in front of the pan in this video ?
Does it last for more than a couple years for someone with a daily n/a that floors it regularly with aftermarket 19” wheels? Would this improve for that sort of driveability in daily driver use or is it more so for “weekend warrior” project cars?
Weekend warrior more or less. Definitely will shift harder so for daily use if that would bother you don’t do it
SOLID! Explained perfectly
Hoping to help the community with videos like this!
will this modification improve shifting or performance on a stock setup?
Yes it will.
I have a 2001 is300 what do you recommend to just get my stock engine to shift harder. I hate when i get on it and it just slips so much shifting into the next gears.... i know this is hurting the trans worse than if it shifted faster/harder. I don’t mind pulling the transmission but I wonder if I need that many shims...? Could I just turn up the line pressure??
The custom shim is 16mm width and 14-18mm height
Amazing video again Stan this is the first time I've ever seen the inside of a transmission! Keep up the work and can't wait to see more!!!!
Huzefa Joly Thank you! I have so much more planned for this channel!
RacecarAndChill Can't wait, these videos are highly interesting and straight to the point which I appreciate!!
Huzefa Joly me too! I hate watching diy videos where all they do is talk!
How's it holding up? Still recommend? Need a vid of how it shift afterwards
This didn't go in my car, but it was proven to hold 600+ for years.
Cant wait to get one lol
hi, thank you so much for sharing the information!! im going to purchase 2 sets for both of my lexus.
may i ask..is No.1 for between 1st/2nd gear and No.2 for 2nd/3rd and so on??
the difference between 14mm vs 18mm is how fast it shifts in to next gear or how hard it grabs the next gear? or simply like how much house power ceiling it would handle? thanks again!!!
Appreciate the info, I've been driving my 98 sc400 a650e with the pressure turned up for 2 years now and always been curious about swimming the springs. Keep up the builds! Cheers!
Shimming ****
John Saeturn thank you sir! Glad to help!
is300 with a650e. turned up line pressure but shifting from 2nd-3rd feels very strange. is this normal? also car bogs a bit in 4th at lower rpm, is that a MAF issue or normal?
Hey I’m super super late to this comment section and I know the car has since been parted out, but do you need to upgrade the sprag at all after this mod if you’re boosted?
It definitely helps, but not necessary.
@@RacecarAndChill wow thank you for the reply, I appreciate the speed. And alright, I’ve just heard so many horror stories about them grenading. I’ve been 320 hp for some time now and haven’t had any issues on completely stock trans. I plan on getting a cooler and going this route before deciding if I want to go a340/341
@@VitulaJoy yea, you'll be fine to turn it up. Even if the trans blows up, these things are practically worth their weight in scrap metal. Ive sold a few for $100
@@RacecarAndChill well in that case, keep your inbox open you may or may not see me looking for a trans lol. Thank you for the replies, I really appreciate it.
@RacecarAndChill I meant to ask as well, how bad is the sprag to upgrade in terms of labor, I truly can’t find any info on sprag replacements for our a650e
Is this possible on an A340e? 1996 SC300. Thank you ☆
I'm not sure. But there are companies that make upgrades for those transmissions. The aftermarket for A650E is virtually non-existant.
Hi i have a gs300 2001 with a a650e 35-50ls 3f3500, my transmission almost die and I only get 30-40ls 3f320, it can work for me?
I'm not sure, but my guess would be no.
No- 30-40ls is from aristo/supra tiptronic last a340 version. Ot is 4 speed. Your ecu can not control it with stock ecu.
After this manipulation, how much is the box life reduced?
Dj Corsar that all depends on power levels and the way the car is driven. If you dont abuse it too much, it should last. But remember that these transmission are cheap.. almost disposable.
use toyota red FIPG. Not black/gray fipg. If you can get toyota red, use a FIPG rated for trans fluid. Though the oil pan/ camshaft housing FIPG works, it's not correct and can deteriorate over time
So, does that mean no dig racing? You said it’s good except for from low rpm’s (which, laughing is a higher rpm thing, but I’ll be starting from 1st gear)
Thats correct. Its going to break on the 1-2 shift if your making some power
@@RacecarAndChill Do you think it'd still break if you do this mod on a stock car and go hard from a stand still? Thanks.
@@danmystro no, it won't break. It might chirp the tires though!
So I did this with the trans still installed and every gear is drive......even reverse and neutral. What did I fuck up ?
Jamil Sabbatt the shift linkage is probably off. Go to 8:33 of my video and I point to it. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the pan has to come off again.
I figured that’s what it was so me and my buddy are gonna pull it back off this weekend. But also I had a 5th spring fall out when we took out the valve body and everywhere I looked I didn’t see where it could have come from except one place and it was a smaller spring inside the last hole you shimmed
Jamil Sabbatt how small of a spring are we talking? Like the size of one that would be in a pen but a little longer?
RacecarAndChill it was a tad bit smaller than the accumulator spring both in length and width. Small enough to fit inside of the last one you shimmed which was where i put it inside of based off of a diagram of the tranny I looked up online. So essentially I put a spring inside a spring on top of shimming that last accumulator. I’m so lost man lol I got a day off tommorow the 1st thing I’m doing is popping my oil pan off to check if I fucked up the shifter and if not my next guess would be that spring. If you could help me out in any way possible I’d really appreciate it man. I’m trying to get this thing boost ready before deployment lol
Jamil Sabbatt yea I think you put the spring in the right place!
So u said if u want a milder shift put in less coins?? Can u give that break down please
Yea, if you dont want it to shift into gears as hard as possible, put in less coins. The thicker your shim is, the harder it will shift.
@RacecarAndChill The transmission for the gs430 (A650E) can it fit onto the 1uz engine? If it does what do I need to do to make it work.
For under $1 and labor can have a trans that holds double the power lol.
Basically. Lol
Damn... I can’t afford
For the first second and fourth buckets I understand. For the third bucket. Should all the shims be 16mm in diameter?
Correct. The 3rd bucket is NOT tapered.
Much better, bro. (sound) Very informative.
I am looking to do this on an a340h AWD 4 speed trans that came on my 2JZ from an altezza/lexus is300 sport cross wagon.
Is there anything different that I would need to do for the 4 speed?
Bump
@@eibura5978 There was nothing different, There was no thing to turn up the line pressure tho. Running nice now.
@@jaystuart4300 were you able to shim the accumulators still like in this video? Just without turning up line pressure?
Or is the TransGo kit the only option?
@@eibura5978 yes, i just put coins in my currency underneath to about 10 - 18mm. Cant really remember. Slapped it back together. Definitely decreased slipping during changes. But still super smooth daily ride. 100% would do again.
I dont know if I missed something... Couldnt you use coins on the third accumulator?
No, its a different size and the coins don't go all the way to the bottom.
I just recently do this and it work fine and faster.
Thanks
Thanks for reporting back!
@@RacecarAndChill
Only think i hear a little noise in the first gear kinda hesitating.
Is normal
What do you mean by hesitating?
Hi, need some help. On 8:10 you said you upped the line pressure. What does that do? Newbie here, so really curious. I have a 3uz with this gearbox in a Nissan Patrol
@racecarandchill , would increasing the line pressure help at all to a trans that's slipping alittle ?
Yea probably. But if it's already slipping and you take the pan off, replacing that much fluid might make it slip worse. That's a tricky one. If a trans is already slipping, replacing the fluid in it might cause it to slip more because all of the friction material from the clutch packs is suspended in the fluid. When you replace it, that friction material isnt there anymore and the clutches cant grab. It's a catch 22.
@@RacecarAndChill so should I bump.up line pressure and put back same fluid, supposedly it was recently flushed
@@bigfred2657 yea, its worth a shot.
@@RacecarAndChill thanks for the help , would u happen to know anyone in central florida who works on these cars that u would recommend
@@bigfred2657 no, I dont. Sorry man
Is there any benefit to doing this with stock power ???
I plan on "street" drifting it at the track, I'm guessing I should do this function.... let me know
It will make it shift faster, but is that really an issue with stock power? 🤔 not really sure.
@@RacecarAndChill well I heard it keeps the transmission cool as well. So I figure why not do it since it's easy to do this mod. I heard these transmissions aren't that reliable if I'm beating on it
@@Juju-ee3nd you should definitely be running a trans cooler if youre tracking the car. As long as you dont let it get too hot, the trans will last.
@@RacecarAndChill yes I was planning on adding one as well before I do this mod. What's your take on coolers?? I'm trying to ball on a budget, you think I will be fine if I don't go with a top name brand product ....
@@RacecarAndChill love your channel bro. Keep putting up videos and educating the Car community brotha
Amazing write up, I did this to my LS430 within an hour. Quality work, looking forward to more write ups.
Romin B. Thank you!
Hi @Robin B. How would you describe the cars behaviour now with the mod? Are you liking it?
@@waltteripatronen4535 I like it, but at the same time it's a bit of a overkill for an LS. I think Ill be going to go back to stock and just live with a increased line pressure for now on my LS. However, I am loving it on my FJ Cruiser, I see a huge difference between shift times, tranny temperature, mind you my FJ is Supercharged putting down 432whp and the method was slightly different because that's a different transmission but with this video and a help of a friend I did it on my FJ Cruiser too.
Romin B. Thanks for the reply. I still may be tempted to try this but I plan shimming it less than these turbo IS builders.
Please forgive me for my ignorance but you just drop the coins and close the box? Or do you actually get something instead to get the height right and drop that piece instead? I have turbo'd my IS300 and I want to improve my transmission where possible. Will also add a trans cooler soon. Thanks for the great video!
I own an automatic Altezza RS200, seems ljke it Should work. The accumulators look to be the same, but the transmission internals are different. Check out toyodiy.com and you can compare it to the gs300/is300 etc. The Altezza transmission is different internally. I wonder if this was because of the less torque from the BEAMS 3s-ge?
These things need a shift kit as they lag alot during shifts.
What else has to be done to the transmission for it to hold boost other than what’s in this video
Is the last line accumulator necessary? I've seen a few kits that only include 3 rods or 3 shims and leave the last one. What would the difference be?
The last accumilator is for the 4-5 shift. I would not bother with the kits, just use washers or change. No point in spending more money for something that does the same thing. I saw your post on Facebook, the guys that are commenting on there really know their stuff. One of them helped me make this video!
@@RacecarAndChill Yea. I messaged Cody. He cleared a lot of stuff up so I should be good going forward. Thanks for the help
What is your name on Facebook?
@@dariencharlton4773 Stan Guintchev
What size trans cooler would u recomend using
As big as you can possibly fit!
Does this work with any transmission ? I’m thinking of doing it in my auto Honda. cuz I want to see if the auto can be fast/ hold the power.
I wouldn't. Lol
Pause wait what
I’ve done the upgrade. But the transmission won’t hold the fluid when I tried to fill it. I shut the car off and it spews out of the dipstick 😳.
Something went wrong. Did you block the holes in one of the actuators with the coins?
Pennies nickels and washers.
@@RacecarAndChill i shimmed it just like the video and made sure the washers measured up.
@@AbC-hh8vg did you make sure to put the nickles in the bottom of the hole on the 4th accumulator that doesn't have a bucket? What about the spring under the ball bearing?
@@RacecarAndChill I thought they were all put in properly with the pennies first. It won’t shift into gear and tries to move in park even after it took some fluid. I guess I’m taking it back out 😷
Hej, do yiu have any movie how was transmission shifting after the mod?
I do not since this transmission never got installed in my car and the one it was built for is still getting the turbo kit built for it. But I will have some soon!
@@RacecarAndChill good, i am doing my own shift kit. Send me mail So can give you pdfs with technical drawings for cnc :)
@@li.3 I dont know how to send you a message. But my email is stan@racecarandchill.com
@@RacecarAndChill check mailbox :)
Should you do any of this stuff to improve the shifting for a non-turbo or just for boosting
Even if your car is not turbo, this will help the trans shift faster and harder.
My question is.... What factory ECU and what little bit of wiring is needed to boost the auto trans??? Everyone says JDM Aristo ECU (plus some wiring), or go manual 🤷🏿♂️
You can keep the factory ecu to control the transmission if you have a standalone running your engine. My is300 is manual swapped, but if you wanted to build an auto car, you can use the stock ecu it comes with to shift the transmission and let the engine be run by a standalone. The stock ecu wil need to see the throttle body signals to shift the transmission.
Just an fyi 5 pennies and 5 nickels add up to 16mm not 18mm as you stated in video.
The connecters on like 3 of mine broke inside the tranny, :(..
i did your tutorial.. but now the transmission wont go in gear? i made sure the selector was in the right spot and the little ball..just wondered if you have any any idea where i should start looking? and yes the transmission worked fine before i did the mod
sorry to hear... did you lose the little ball bearings by chance? also, make sure you fill it with at least 6 or 7 quarts of fluid. and are you sure the torque converter clicked in all the way?
I know this is a old vid but I have a question nobody else can answer...can I bolt the A650e to a Ls3?
Didn't realize the 5 speed cars are so few. I picked up a red 02 5 speed is with lsd for a daily. UA-cam has me wanting to juice it up now
0xXAllForNothingXx0 just so you know. The stock w55 manual doesnt hold a lot of power. Maybe 300 if you baby it.
RacecarAndChill that's what I've read. Very unfortunate lol I really just want to put a stock gte in it, and see if itd last, I'm not a street racer but I'm not real happy with 200ish hp
0xXAllForNothingXx0 if you're gonna go through with the gte swap, might as well throw in a new trans too! Lol at least a w58
RacecarAndChill that's the research I still havnt done.how much do those go for?$ I know a 6 speed is insanely expensive. Iv read of t56 swap,
yea t56 is the best swap for the IS, but expensive.. im not sure how much the w58 costs either.
Hey bro, quick question - after doing this mod and running high whp, would letting off the gas while the car shifts (using the e-shift to control upshifting) help it in any way, for function and longevity? Also, thanks for all the videos about the IS, you've helped me out so much working on my car!
Love from the UK ❤
Hi! sorry I never saw this comment. Letting off the gas while its shifting will probably help it shift softer, but it definitely won't be faster than just keeping your foot floored.
@@RacecarAndChill Hey no worries bro, thanks for response!
Hey I got a stock 04 is300 auto, the transmission whines but the sound goes away after 20+ mph and shifts a little hard from 1-2-3 , is this normal ?
No that does not sound normal!
Is this necessary for NA SC 400 builds?
Does this get rid of the lag between throttle and gear change? My GS400 takes nearly a full second between putting my foot down and dropping a gear. It’s slow when dropping multiple gears too. What makes me real mad is my friend’s Camry will respond almost instantly.
Taylor Rhodes I dont think it would help your situation. I would expect that lag to be in the ecu, not the trans.
Taylor. I have a gs300 with the gte swap and I had an sc300 that has ur same problem it sounds like. First. U should look into having ur tps sensor adjusted. And idle air sensor. If they go bad or slip out of place they can make the lag between shifts horrible. What he's doing in this mod will shift even quicker than it will when it does once u fix it. But just remember not to shim the accumulator for the 2nd to 3rd shift to hard because that sprag is very weak in ur transmission
*This is what you call LITERALLY PUTTING MONEY INTO YOUR CAR* 😂😂😂
😂😂
Wait so you actually just put change in the fuckin thing and turn a screw how much power is this good for
Yea pretty much 😂😂 with proper cooling and fluid changes, this setup has been proven to hold 650 if you dont get into boost until 3rd gear.
The shifter is not hooked up. 😷
Hey man, I put easily 50 cents in that trans.
Do you know if this will work for the aristo gte trans ??
Yes it will. It is the same on the inside!
RacecarAndChill nice im doing this soon
So how much change in total do I neef
Wil this mod also work on the a340e transmission
Do you have a video showing how it performs after this mod?
No I dont. But my friend cody Graham does it you want to look him up on UA-cam.
Hey question since you seem pretty familiar with these transmissions so recently I got a code on my 01 IS300
P0710 [ Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor A Malfunction ] and my car going from Park to drive after starting up, goes into gear EXTREMELY hard, shift points are all over the place, won’t let you drop to 2nd in E-Shift and accelerates sluggish. Do you think you can help me find a solution to this problem?
This is an odd problem to have. Have you checked the transmission fluid level with the car running?
RacecarAndChill Yeah everythings level
How much horsepower will this handle after the shims
If you drive it nice and wait until its in 3rd to really get on it, its documented to hold 650hp.
Question about the extra cooler. Is it enough just but a bigger cooler replacing the stock one? Not getting big power or no more power at all for now.
Yea that's would be fine. The stock one is a the bottom part of the radiator.
@@RacecarAndChill Okey, i did check the cooling piping today really quick and it seems going to front of the car with few twists and back to transmission without connecting the radiator. This is EU spec 2jz-ge sportcross, so there might be some differences with US spec? I'll check the lines tomorrow after work to be sure :D. BTW this video was helpful, thnaks for doing this :D
@@mosa86 I'm sure the lines go from the transmission to the radiator unless someone else has already put a different oil cooler in it. 😉
@@RacecarAndChill Well there was different cooler bolted to engine block under exhaust manifold :D. Looked pretty simple to connect extra cooler from there what goes up front
@@mosa86 then you probably dont need much more cooling if you arent making big power. As long as that cooler has some airflow going to it, you'll be fine.
will gasket be fine if used?
I would suggest using the black toyota FPG gasket maker. That's how they come from the factory.
Will this help improve shift times at all? Id like to do this with my 99 SC300. Also would a five speed automatic from a 98+ gs300 or sc400 be plug and play or will there be extreme amounts of work?
oj tyler this will make the trans shift faster for sure. And I know the process is the same for the 4 speed. The swap would be easy. Direct bolt in. The only thing I'm not sure about is the wiring and the ecu. I don't know if the older ecu can run the newer trans. Sorry sc's are not my strong point.
RacecarAndChill No problem, thank you so much for the response and great video.
oj tyler no problem! A good friend of mine has a bad ass sc that makes like 550 to the wheels. Sub to the channel so you don't miss when I review it!
I have the same engine and planning on putting a 70-100 shot nitrous kit, can i just go with the 14mm or would it best to shim it to 18mm ?
I would just do a 16mm shim to be around the middle
Do you know torque specs for the valve body bolts and the trans pan bolts? I’m doing a valve body upgrade and haven’t found the specs anywhere
I don't know them. Just get them tight, I wouldn't worry about the specs too much.
If I just increase the line pressure, will there be any noticeable difference?
Romin B. Yea, there should be.
How much extra power would you estimate this can handle? I’ve seen somewhere non modified it can handle about 350hp
I made 650 for three years like this... That's my trans in the video
@@CodyGraham whatt? That’s crazy definitely need to do this when I boost my GS
Anybody knows wich one is the reverse?
the wire harness swims in oil?
Is this the 5 speed transmission?
This is the stock auto that comes in the is300 and gs300. It's a 4 speee with overdrive.
Yes 650 is 5 speed teansmission
actually only 98-00 SC400 uses that 5spd Auto, ALL SC300s uses the A340e 4spd with varying final drive diffs.....I was going to try to build my auto in my 99sc300, but decided to go Solstice manual instead....but your trans really have money in it
The A340e is the same inside, so this mod will still work. And yes, this trans is built with money inside as shims. The trans I run in my turbo is300 is the AR5. This was a friends transmission.
how is the AR5 trans holding up....thats the trans ill be swapping in. I dont see much in terms of strength about them on the net.
It holds up to abuse at 420hp all day. Has a weird vibration issue but I think its from my rubber bushings being torn. Will be replacing them soon and I will report back. Subscribe to the channel, I'll be making videos about that thing when I get back from Tokyo. Swap has like 10k ish on it so far.
Love the video putting shift kit in won't be so scary now. Thanks!
Nate G glad to help! It's easy man! I was super scared to open it up too!
Will this work on u241e?
Thanks bro this helped a lot 👍🏽👌🏽
Good video
Thanks man
You seem to know a lot about these, would you recommend doing a drain and fill on an auto is 300 with 200k miles with no previous maintenance record?
Yea, a drain and refill shouldnt hurt one bit.
98 ls400 has issues going into drive doesn't slip or anything. Just sometimes feel like drive doesn't want to engage here and there. 181,000 miles. Afraid to do a flush not sure if fwd clutches might be worn? Any help/advice is appreciated!
Hello sir! So I've done this and now my transmission doesn't engage into gear when cold. the engine will rev but the car will only slowly move. but then once warm it engages. inside my transmission I found no dirt and the filter was clean. I have a transmission cooler and I have the transmission a bit overfilled also. Please if anyone can help!
Did you ever figure this out?
Hey same here just overfilled it more and it started working
Has anyone done this to an A341e? 94 LS 400
Honestly, I'm not sure. I've never seen the inside of that valve body, but if it's the same design, I dont see why it wouldnt work.
