Thanks Billy.Just a friendly note: ALL auto tranny's are designed to operate under "pressure", or torque, if you will.. and they have no real brains.. so if they go from 0 to 149 you have a good one, and dont worry about what they do when they are "floating".
just enjoy them.

Just turned 177,000 miles. I'm assuming you have a 1990? How many miles on it?

Thanks for the reply 1990 LS400. The thing is I'm pretty sure it does it after warm up. Seems like it doesn't do it as much on level ground as when I'm driving down a slight incline.

Hi everyone. I purchased a 1998 LS400 a few months ago and have noticed when leaving my neighborhood, when I turn out onto one of the
streets with a dowmhill slope, at maybe 5mph the RPM's reach around 1800 and it seems the transmission is trying to play catch up. It's as if the
transmission changes to a much lower gear ratio or something.The transmission doesn't seem to change real hard or anything. I recently removed the transmission pan and replaced the gasket and fluid. I would have changed the screen but due to a certain auto parts store I was given the wrong screen and would have to wait for three days before the correct one came in so I cleaned the screen best I could and reused it. I did notice one of the magnets was missing and another was magnetized to the tranny. I placed them back where they belong in the pan. T-IV fluid is what I used. Noticed a few brass looking particles and greyish sludge on magnets. The same symptoms are still there. I've done a lot of reading and can't find anyone with a problem exactly like what I've been having. Is it possibly the throttle cable? Solenoid? No dash lights are on indicating a problem. The car seems to shift fine through all the gears going down the highway it just seems like the problem is only there when I slow down and turn into another street and start to accelerate again. This happens after car is warmed up. Any help would be so greatly appreciated guys. Thanks in advance. Tim.

I recently broke the mechanism on the right center vent on my 98 LS400 trying to remove it. All I need is the piece on the right side of that right vent
that all the louvers lock into to operate them up and down. I've been searching and of course they're difficult to find. I did locate some that were 95-97
I think? Obviously the housing for the vents is different but I'm wondering if anyone knows if I coud use the piece I'm needing from one of these older sets? Any help greatlyt appreciated.

Hi billyd. Thanks for the response..I disassembled the gear shift assembly and dug the old part out. In pieces. It's a black plastic insert with a hole for the gear shift. Now that I have an idea what it looks like I'm going to take another look at the parts fiche fortake a photo of what you have and we can see what you are missing, or try an online salvage yard
ordering. Thanks again.

Hi everyone. I just purchased a 1998 LS400. It's missing the black flat plastic insert that fits around the gear shift. Sorry I don't know what it's
called making it hard to search for. Anyone have any idea where I could purchase one of these? Thanks for any help.
