2006 IS250 LS1 Swap

There was definitely water in with the oil. From the looks of it, the previous owner must have had some transmission problems and then to add insult to injury probably left it sitting outside for a long time. Long story short, I made a bad Craigslist purchase and it ended up costing me in the end. On the bright side I know that my transmission should be good for a long time now.

Thanks, that's an awesome compliment. However, if I was a shop I wouldn't be able to afford myself. The time it takes to do high quality work continues to shock me. I can understand why really good shops charge so much and why a lot of shops out there take shortcuts.

LOVED my MGW on my Viper Spec T-56 and I had the Orange and Gold handles and swapped them out for a while, positive engagment in the gears you will not regret taht purchase. Also Astro does GREAT work man, good to know you took it to them!
Car is coming along, i'm jealous man, I have the 1JZ GTE VVTI but am still Auto and honestly i would rather have an LSX based build. I have considered taking the 315hp 4.8 out of my truck and throwing it in a differetn shell as I'm looking to put a 6.0 or 6.2 in the truck in the nto to distant future;-)
Love the car and the build!
