  1. On the back of the Castrol bottle it says it meets the requirements of Toyota T-IV ATF fluid.
  2. Owner's manual calls for Type T - IV*. Can't find any such animal at my local auto parts stores. I found Castrol Full Synthetic Transmax. Says its for "all Toyota transmissions". Will this work? Semper Fi!
  3. Not changing the fluid, fluid is fine. At some point in time someone has had the pan off already, did a crap job of it and I need to pull it off and start from scratch. Thanks for the info. It will all help.
  4. What is the torque specs for the bolts that hold the transmission pan?
  5. Thank you very much for the tutorial, that's exactly what I needed. My main problem is that I can't take the steering wheel off my car for a week, as it's my daily driver. At least I know what I'm getting myself into. FWIW, would you be interested in tackling a project like that for $? If I can't scare up another ride for a couple of weeks (I may be buying a pickup truck as a supplemental vehicle in the near future), I would be willing to send the steering wheel to you to have you work your magic on it. Once again, I really appreciate the step-by-step. Let me know if it's something you'd be willing to do for me. Semper Fi!
  6. I have a 2000 LS400 Platinum Edition, with the bird's eye maple interior. I have neglected to protect the steering wheel from the sun and now the finish on the top half is becoming severely cracked. I was going to strip and refinish it with polyurethane, but don't know how to take it off. Do I have to take it off, or have any of y'all here done it without removing it? I can mask of the area when I spray, but I'm worried about the Certistrip I'm going to use to strip the old finish off damaging the leather (or whatever it is) parts of the wheel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  7. I'll take new or slightly used, as long as the color matches.
  8. I need a black chrome Lexus "L" emblem for the grille, and a Platinum Series badge, both for my 2000 LS400
  9. I'm on their site and can't find that particular part. Can you provide a link to it, or a part #. Thank you very much.
  10. That is spectacular. Beautiful job on the detailing.
  11. Thanks. I'm missing a few, I'll try and pick 'em up at Lexus.
  12. I have the owner's manual, I'm wanting the shop or service manual.
  13. I have a 2000 LS400 Platinum Series with Millenium Silver paint. The interior is a mix of dark and light gray. However, y'all know how car makers like coming up with fancy names for the colors. What did Lexus call this color interior? Is it Agate? Thanks
  14. Mine did the same thing on my '00 LS400. On mine, you just pop the entire assembly out. I worked under it with a wooden popsicle stick and popped it out. On mine, there is a metal clip/spring assembly that holds it together, and also provides the pressure to keep the visor in position. The metal clip is held in place by 3 melted plastic tabs. When the center tab breaks, you have no more spring pressure to hold the visor in place. I "glued" mine back with Brownell's Acraglas (it's used for bedding rifle stocks and such) and it's working perfectly. I'm sure that there are adhesives available at the hardware store that would do the same.
  15. I've bought several parts from ebay for my LS, I'll check for a service manual there as well. I've been all over the net and I'm striking out on the engine under cover. BTW, do you happent to know the pattern/pitch of the bolts that hold the engine under cover to the metal points under the engine? One of my mounting holes is buggered up and I want to run a tap through it to clean it up. Thanks for your help so far.
  16. Preferrably with all the mounting bolts
  17. Thanks! Need to get me a service manual.
  18. It's the large, black plastic, panel that is underneath the engine, you have to remove it to change the oil.. It's approximately 4' x 3', and is bolt to the mounts under the engine and the ground effects at the front. I'm looking to pick up a replacement and it would be way easier if I knew what the proper name was for it. Thanks
