LSCINFAMOUS Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I have been struggling to replace timing belt in my 91 LS400. When I finished the job and I was pretty confident that I had done a good job, but ... the timing was not right and car was moving fairly ok but gear change was not smooth. After three trial I made the timing good. Car runs smooth. But, alas, rear gear and neutral both move the car forward. In Drive, the car runs smooth and everything OK. Did I break the transmission? Any one can help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ko90ls Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 i cant see how changing the timing belt could mess up the tranny. the timing belt rotates the engine internals. the only thing i could think of would be that you might have messed up some tranny cables while working under the hood. but really there's only the throttle cable and tranny cooling lines. this is a tuffy. i'd recheck the timing (belt marks, crank mark, tensioner) if all else fails.
