we could also tighten out steering while car is up.
Any word on pricing.??

 

whats up papa. listen check this link they do sell a tranny filter for the gs4 . http://www2.lexpartsonline.com/parts...ilter&dp=false

 

Our trannys have a screen not a filter per se. On Lexus's (toyota's) you do not replace them , you just inspect and clean as necesssary once you get into high mileage. Thats the screen I believe in the link you gave me. Not sure never looked at one.

here are some discussions pertaining to it that i found during a search:

"...The "filter" is a non-serviceable micro mesh screen. (no need to clean or replace). "
"...The 'tranny filter' is actually a mesh type screen & you normally do not replace it, you just clean it when you replace the gasket as it's re-usable. "-lexusfreaK
"..You're dealing with an Asian car so things are different. There is no disposable paper transmission filter on a Toyota like there is on a Buick or Ford. On a Toyota you never replace the transmiission filter. You just inspect it roughly every 150,000 miles for signs of clogging and if the filter contains debris you remove the filter screen, wash it in solvent and reinstall. However, the screen rarely becomes restricted. So if your 2000 model has under 150K miles it would be a waste of time to remove the transmission oil pan to inspect the screen (except maybe if fluid changes has never ever been performed and the fluid turned black from burning).

im in the process of ordering coilovers, tinting windows darker, and replacing a few oem parts....depending on how much it runs for...how much do u think itll knock out of my pockets?

 

Ok guys he will post up the group rate for us locals in an hour. I figure the tranny flush with amsoil will be over 250 bucks considering it is not a cheap oil and it will last over 100,000 miles (tranny fluid that is) .

 

I think I am only going to have the oil changed, but I'm still interested in knowing the rate! With gas getting cheaper, it might be worth it for me to come out there instead of having it done locally.

 

The Amsoil engine oil is incredible. You will notice more pick up and it stays cleaner than mobil one. You should have the engine flushed out too

 

I don't think I need to have the tranny fluid flushed for no reason, its only been 25k since I had that done. But we'll see on Saturday what I am gonna do once I get to the shop, unless your guy needs advance notice

 

For the tranny fluid yes. He has enogh tranny fluid for 4 cars for now. Remember our cars take 15 qts. The engine oil he has. I know Rising Sun, Sputnick, is getting the tranny done for sure.

 

are you sure 15qts.? i flushed my fluid and it took like 10

 

You have a LS400. This applies for the GS400

 

Just to be clear, I will NOT have the tranny flushed, but I will have my engine oil changed. Does he have oil filters and all that stuff, I would assume so?

 

Yes he does. that is where i go to get my oil changes done. No oil leaks, don't worry
