Just take your LS to the local dealer. They should replace it with minimal cost to you. My 96 LS was fix without any cost to me because it was recall as stated in the earlier post. If they want to charge you $1,800.00 then talk to the manager of the service dept. Good luck.

I just noticed yesterday that my 96LS transmission have a "thumb" noise when I slow down for a stop. It sound like it downshift to 1st very rough...Should I worry? The transmission was flush about a year ago at the dealer. I have a little over 76K miles on it.

VMF is a her? :o

Denny is right....VB is great for this forum.....and everyone that post and give suggestions and advises.....I have learned a lot from everyone in here....

VBDenny....stay away from the beer

jbatast....let me know how that go....post a pic here when it is done...

I had the same problem with my 96LS....after long distance driving, it would just stop if I slow down due to traffic or get off the highway for fuel.....I took it to the dealer and they can not generated the same problem after they took it out on the highway or get any error code...according to the ticket from the dealer..."ALL SPECS TO BE GOOD DURING DIAG.". Anyway, they replace my engine ECU under warrenty even after my car was already out of warrenty for a couple of years . My car had 69390 miles, and it was done last July. The part number that they replace was 8966150302...I also talk to the master tech. at the dealer and he told me that he had only encounter these problem a couple of time before me.....I suggest that you took it back to the dealer and have the work done under warrenty...Good luck.

Hey Guys/Gals,

How did I manage to get a "Warn: (0%) " under my ID? Just noticed that, I haven't PO anyone here, have I? Please advise.

The only time I let it get warm is when I take my three months old daughter to the babysitter....otherwise, I just put it in gear and go. I have no problem with any of my cars by doing this. But I do take care of them, like preventive maint. etc..

My dealer quote me approx. $2500.00 to replace all heating elements on my 96LS. I told them for that kind of money, I don't mind having a cold seat for a few minutes...... :chairshot:

Thanks for all the replies.....I found that the second arm (there are two on the driver side) on the driver side was hitting the passenger side on the bottom cycle during high speed.....I am going to take Meist21's suggestion and do that when the weather is warmer...it's ing cold in Cols. OH even in the garage.....thanks again guys/gals. I will post the result when it is done.

I had my wiper on high tonight and everytime it gets to the bottom. it hit something...like the stopper. It does not hit anything when it is on normal speed. It only does this when it is on high speed and on the down cycle. Any idea to solve this problem guys/gals? Please advise. Thanks for your help.

Have Michelin Pilot XGT H4 on my 96LS. Drove six hours in the rain yesterday and doing between 70 to 85 mph without any problem except the highway troopers. They are more expense but they have given no problem so far. I have Kumho tires on my 91 Integra, I might just try them on my LS when the time come for a replacement.

I would also like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday......cheers!!!

Meist21....Mickg is right...they are the samething...

Take it easy doiturself......I am not here to judge anyone......just to learn and better myself. Sorry if I *BLEEP* you off.... ;)

Meist21....All LS have it. My brother's GX 03 and RX 03 also have them.

Lextech is funny!!! "ok i'm sorry but what kinda idiot are you doityourself?" :chairshot:

Detail inside and outside, including steam cleaning the engine.

My 96LS only averaging about 22.24/mpg in city and highway driving....

96 LS, full coverage at $352.00 every six months....Cols OH....

Have a wonderful holiday everyone....

That would be $71,866.00 in US dollars....the rate is at $1.321 today....

I got an average of 24.27 (w/AC) mpg on my way from Columbus to Toronto and 26.24(w/o AC) coming back. This is on my 96 LS400.

Your 96 LS doesn't have an interference motor.
