I’d go back to the shop, have them loosen everything, and then retorque correctly with the vehicle on the ground. This is a new problem caused by the install of new parts.

Naviks may be something to consider. I have GROM (2008 LX) and Naviks (2017 Tundra). I had GROM in Tundra as well and had to send in for repair. In the meantime I swapped to Naviks. Naviks is a better option for the Tundra IMO. The GROM has been...

I feel the common advice on here is to get the newest one you can afford. I have a 2015. With that, i feel the 2016 is a big upgrade for brakes, transmission, headlights, seats, and overall interior ..

On my 3rd preventative head gasket replacement this year. Following @ryanCA PM schedules.

We had 3-5 guys working over 5 days to swap all my mods and upgraded parts from my wrecked 200 to my new one. Part of that was swaping the transfer and trannies. I think we (my contribution was watching) did the transmission/transfer swap...

@linuxgod, Here’s a good pic of the starter: I’m pretty sure we had to take the starter out to access one or more transmission bolts.

Good stuff. That starter is in an easily accessible place. LOL Still have no idea what I was thinking that I could actually swap it out myself. Comical.

@kcjaz swapped his and can probably provide some context about the effort. Slee is doing my swap. A little more than what @kcjaz paid but he was in KC. I couldn’t get the truck back to Chicago, and don’t have a lift or enough hands available...

I’ve noted on a few threads I bought reman transmission in 2023. Torque converter was included. Bell Lexus has it on sale now.

I had the same question. I asked and was told the price includes a new torque converter. Not sure if it’s included in the part # listed online but it’s included in the job

Is yellow or purple faster? At double the cost I’d struggle to convince myself it was necessary, but regardless any chance of that is lost with a 13 week lead time sadly. If it said 4 weeks…

Reman Toyota trans and TC, new fluid, flush the lines, new rear main seal (because it’s right there). $6900 + tax.

I think the nomad is just the valve body. Those solenoids are $200 each and there’s a bunch of them. My reman transmission came with torque converter. You could get wholesale automatic transmissions to custom build one. I know many of use would...

I'm waiting on their quote to see what is spec'ed out, but I assume a new TC will be part of it. Ben at Slee had mentioned "you always new a new TC when you do a transmission".

Update: The following codes were found. P0729 Gear 6 Incorrect Ratio, and P2714 Pressure control Solenoid “D” Performance or stuck off. Slee got the truck in and pulled a sample of the transmission fluid. They said there were metal specks in...

Black/Beige 2 tone 2008 LC 200 @ 368,000 miles. New trans and 4 coils, 8 spark plugs, WP, T stat and serpentine belt at 350,000 miles. All but belt were original. Just replaced the original fuel pump assy and remaining 4 coils at 366,000 miles...

Every one of you are smarter than me I guarantee it. An inconvenient truth that I’ve learned in my time on this forum is that many times when transmission issues arise whatsoever on this platform, you are better served by replacing the...

I’m not CERTAIN, but I remember the last time I priced one it was a little less than $4k. Under 100k I don’t think a torque converter is necessary if you’re maybe on a bit of a budget, but at your mileage it may be worth it.

@linuxgod , I believe I paid $3,500 after core return a couple years ago. Found this today:

My rig at 170k is a baby by comparison but I just replaced: Front hub assemblies and bearings Rear bearings Front upper and lower control arms Rear upper and lower control arms Front and rear Sway bar links and bushing And I can’t overstate...
