hey, i pan drained my tranny a few days ago. i read numorous postings stating that a pan drain will be about 2 quarts...i got more like 3 because my front tires were on ramps. somebody told me to just add 2 quarts anyways...so i did that but when i checked my dip stick (norm. op. temperature and at idle) it was still below the line. so i slowly added a few ounces at a time to get it right in the middle of the HOT part of the dip stick. i ended up adding a full quart so im at 3 quarts for my pan drain. when my motor is off and cold (mornings) the atf fluid is actually in the 'hot' zone. am i doing something wrong here? any help would greatly be appreciated. thanks.

can i find bg products at like, kragens?

you could purchase reconditioned units at places like kragens and napa. probally your secondary winding...get a resistance check on it...7,000 to 10,000 would be normal.

my ls400's moonroof only slides back a few inches. im pretty sure its not the switches because apparently its in working condition for it to slide back...right? should i just take the moonroof apart and clean/lube the rails? im a smoker so it sucks not to have a working moonroof. thanks.

just un-do the line from filter to injector first...plug it with your thumb then un-do the fuel line closes to fuel cap...then plug it with your thumb again...it should save you a good amount of gas..then take a lighter and check the lines for leaks..jk jk. hey, thanks for the info on the tranny...i overshot by 1/2 a quart...it should be fine right?

if you pay me 50 bucks a trip ill sit in the passenger seat and everytime you doze off ill punch you in the nuts....yeah sound good? deal?

what are you asking about the fuel filter? i did mines the a couple of days ago.

Last night i decided that I was gonna flush the tranny pan. From what i read a transmission pan flush would only flush out 2 quarts...I got 3 quarts out of my flush last night. I had the front wheels up on ramps while I drained the tranny pan...to my surprise i ended up with 3 quarts of fluid being drained versus the 2 quarts I was anticipating. My question is, would 2 quarts be the right number ONLY if the car is raised at an even level? So because I had my front wheels up on ramps would 3 quarts be normal? Has anyone ever done this with their car on a ramp? I searched through the forum but couldnt find anything about this besides it should be 2 quarts. I wasnt sure if either my tranny was over-filled by the last owner or was the ramp the reason for this extra quart...so I rolled my car off of the ramp and pushed it into my garage. Please help...I wanna drive worry free. Thanks.

if i change the fenders, hood, radiator support, lights and front bumper will it be pretty much an exact fit? are the 96-98's base completely different?

ive just purchased a 92 ls400 a couple of days ago. the tach needle only lights up half way and flickers...climate control lights up but is faded around the edges. i went to lextech.com and saw that they are selling climate control lights and gauge cluster light kits (to change the color your cluster lights up). i was wondering if these items would be able to fix my problem...can i just purchase these items to get everything in normal working order or is it a must that i replace these with new/reconditioned items? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

does anyone know the color code for a 92ls400? interior is light gray with dark gray trimmings. are there 2 seperate color codes for this? im trying to order dye from leatherique but im not sure of the color code to give them..can locate it anywhere on the car. thanks

has anyone ever tried their leather dye? does it really work? if i dyed my interior from gray to black would it look right? thanks.
