SKperformance Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Change your rad and make sure you did not loose your tranny fluid. the 97 is not the same engine ,it has VVT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can fix ANYTHING on the older Lexus ES at a fraction of the cost of elsewhere. The guy is very very good. rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdakine Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 do you guys think that the tranny went on it? i really feel like leaving it somewhere and letting someone steal it! after i put full coverage on it! haha anyways all that aside. it has quite a bit of repairs needed is it worth it? to fix anything?
