AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGGGHHHH So I'm taking off the transmission, right? I get one of the oil cooler hard lines off, no problemo. As I'm removing the other one, the aluminum tube got TWISTED.:egads: So now I have to either buy a new hard line ($$ and more downtime) or find a barb fitting and...

It was water - it was clear and there was no smell other than the smell of the trans fluid.- and I don't think it was circulating inside the unit. As I cleaned up the gasket surfaces and stood the transmission up on its bellhousing, the fluid seeping out of the pores of the valve body was dark...

Red alarm! I just pulled the pan off of the junkyard transmission to get the filter changed. Guess what? WATER CAME OUT. The remaining transmission fluid has the consistency of chocolate milk. I'd say about 10-14 oz of water came out of there. The exposed parts were likely mainly in the valve...

I know we have some members from South Africa, they might find it useful. It should have a balance of at least some Rand left. The number to call is 10136 and the card number is 4000 0126 5921 6620. I used it on my last trip to SA and don't need it anymore.

Awesome deal. I've done the reseal job before and it's not that tough. You can do it in an evening in your garage.

Scoop out as much as you can, as you said, but you'll also need a de-sludging agent to free up the ring packs on the pistons.

Thanks spf! I got the other cat off today, drained the fluid, and removed one of the hard lines on the trans. I used a propane torch to get the nuts red hot and then cranked down with a torque wrench. Done! I didn't have time for much else. Is the side of the intake manifold (opposite the...

So these Japanese imported cars and motors are severely neglected oil-wise.

Great work man! Thumbs up big time. Keep that classic on the road and shining.

Is there a picture to go along with the post?

Thanks for the posts spf and KC. I'm glad I don't have to fuss around with a potentially unreliable 3rd party temp sensor setup. Maybe I can find a way to fool the stock fan controller into thinking that the A/C clutch (and the A/C line pressure) are always on, so that when the temperature hits...

Does your shifter feel loose? Is there slack in the mechanism while in gear? Has your transmission lost that lovin' feeling? I have the solution for you. Polyurethane, indestructible shifter bushings that will last for the life of the car. Unlike the Toyota bushings that wear out after a few...

P/S pump rebuild and alternator brush replacement jobs done, Ford fan placed on radiator, relay ready to wire in. Here comes the question: There is an aux fan in front of the A/C condenser that comes on at two different points: 1) With the A/C on, and the temperature is above 185 degrees (low...

He means the blower that went on the M113 ML55 motor - you know, S55, SL55, E55, etc. blower. Its a hefty unit. Here's a link to an ebay auction...

I miss the 7M-GE-T. It had down-low power the 1UZ could only dream of. It also had the capability (with a metal HG) to take more power than a 1UZ could on stock internals. That being said, the 1UZ is far more reliable, and you don't hear about blown head gaskets or spun rod bearings with these...

Definitely is, you should be able to get a '95-97 LS400 in acceptable condition in trade for the Mk3.

haha, I did:D but I don't have any M or JZ based cars anymore so that forum doesn't really do me any good to browse around on. Good to see you here though!

What happened to your purple Supra?

I just went to the local Pick-N-Pull junkyard and got two fans out of an '02-04 Taurus for $21.30. They will fit nicely on my radiator. I'll have to make a shroud for it - I'm going to head over to the local Lowe's to find an acrylic sheet. I also have a relay and temperature switch from another...
