Yeah it was 20% off on the online order. If I ordered through the dealership it was 3600. Then had to add tax and core charge. Comes with new valve body and torque converter. It cost me 1500 alone for a new torque converter. Should have just done this first. I had to buy online to get...

Got her in today. Can't take it appart per return instructions. But we got to figure out how to get this data they have. This form has alot of info and I am sure they are finding out a common problem and are fixing it with these remains.

I got the transmission from lexus. It was 2900 plus 270 something for tax and 1k for core. I am going to install it myself. I may have time to tear it down depending on time and then return it. When lexus gets these back as cores they rebuild them and replace everything on the inside with...

Put the new VB in and you can tell it is slipping. So the kits were working but probably too far gone when I put them in. Codes and problems started to happen ~ 25k miles before I put the shift kit and zip kit in. About 20k miles with using those kits. Still had codes but did not...

Also awesome info from sonax. Bottom of pdf shows the adjustable accumulator valve and adjustable primary regulatorvalve/boost valve...
