    1997 LX450 Transmission & Transfer Case Replacement Help

    Hello, I'm located in the Tucson, AZ area. I actually spoke with Jonathon in the Tucson area, and he has a transmission & transfer case and offered to swap out for me for $1600. He was finishing up a head gasket job, but I've sent him a couple of follow up messages on Facebook that show no read...

    Transfer Case? Transmission? Where to begin...97 LX450

    1997 Lexus LX450... Yesterday, after heading back to Tucson from SW Colorado, climbing a hill, there was a loud crack and a bang, sounded like a rock came off the hill and hit a couple of things underneath (not an actual rock in this case), and following, I couldn't drive faster than 50-55, and...

    Acceleration issue (video)

    I'm experiencing the same thing which has been occurring for the last month or so. My first question is, what is a TPS, and secondly, have you made any progress on this for any updates? As I was reading your description, I was like....damn, couldn't have described my own issue better.

    2 Issues I'm Looking for Help Diagnosing...A/T Oil Temp Light & New Power Steering Pump

    Also, quick thought from your notes, I do have a center diff lock switch. The light comes on that it's engaged. I often times on dirt roads or beach leave it locked in 4H. Could this be a system/part of the issue...related to the clutch/etc. you spoke of?

    2 Issues I'm Looking for Help Diagnosing...A/T Oil Temp Light & New Power Steering Pump

    Thank you so much. I've dove into and learned much about this truck over the years, but I know nothing with respect to gears/clutches/etc. If you were dealing with this situation, not having the knowledge of repairing on your own, what would you do? Speaking mostly to the transmission stuff...

    2 Issues I'm Looking for Help Diagnosing...A/T Oil Temp Light & New Power Steering Pump

    First Issue: A/T Temp Oil Light... Background...I drove in 2H on the beach & the A/T Temp sensor came on, followed by a fire where there was a slight amount of transmission fluid coming out which caught fire. I had a shop in the Seattle area drop the transmission pan, replace the filter & do a...

    Ballpark Estimate...transmission fluid flush, replace filter and gasket.

    I'm being told $750, seems really high. What say you ladies and gents?

    My 80 went swimming help...

    Alright!!! Just wanted to give a shout out to you all for your guidance and help, as well as others on Mud. I've now cleaned all electrical connectors, replaced all u joints and cleaned/greased the splines (shortly after that, I developed a bad grind when slowing down...). The culprit...the...

    Redoing DS Knuckle - Ring on Axle is Really Dug In - Best Solution?

    Good point...

    Redoing DS Knuckle - Ring on Axle is Really Dug In - Best Solution?

    I was actually more worried that the clip had grinded down the groove too much. It was definitely loose as I showed it prior to pulling it, so if someone else opened it up to much, that's a possibility, but the clip seems like it's how it was supposed to be (not bent).

    Okay, thanks! Just seemed like it should be a tighter fit.

    Redoing DS Knuckle - Ring on Axle is Really Dug In - Best Solution?

    New to this all, so I suppose it is the way it's supposed to be, but seems like it's worn into the axle groove quite a bit. The first and last show how when you push down on it, the other ends of the ring stick out, and the second shows how it's below the splines.

    Redoing DS Knuckle - Ring on Axle is Really Dug In - Best Solution?

    So, I got the axle off with the PVC pipe method without too much trouble. Upon inspecting the ring, it's really dug in. So much so that the two points of the C stick out pretty far past the splines. I was told by someone the other day who redid his knuckle that his mistake was not pushing this C...

    Keeping Cigarette Lighter on When Vehicle Turned Off

    Any specifics on identifying the hot wire from the battery? What would be the best way to tap into it? Splice it?

    Keeping Cigarette Lighter on When Vehicle Turned Off

    Great insights, and I definitely feel a better sense of how to achieve it. I'm well familiar with the entry on the firewall to push the wire through. Are you familiar with any switches which appear OEM even if they're not to achieve a manufactured look vs. a random switch? One of the links looks...
