"v-belt" Change & Transmission Service


90LS400Lexus

Recommended Posts

Has anyone here changed the "V-belt" on their LS400 themselves? The dealership told me today that mine was cracked and needed changed. I think they said the belt is $36 and labor is $76. Does this seem steep? How difficult is it to change yourself? I may call the shop where I usually take my car and see what they charge. They also said thay my transmission fluid was dirty and needed changed. Quoted me $56.95 for transmission service. Has anyone had this done elsewhere? Is $56.95 about the same price that all Lexus dealers charge? Any information appreciated.

BTW- my car is a 90 LS400, with 227,100.

all you need is a half inch drive off of a breaker bar to "un" tension the tentioner. then slip it off. you might need to take the fan off. the belt diagram should be on the inside of the hood or somewhere in the frontal engine compartment.
