I installed Trans-Go shift kit on my 1991 Lexus LS400 and after a lot of work and problems. I finally got it dialed in.

I had to tear out the transmission to replace it. Everything I did was my first time ever so this is my thought process throug...

Shift Kit install on my 1991 Lexus LS400!

I installed a Transgo Shift Kit and shift solenoids on my 1991 Lexus LS400 in the hope of solving some problems I had in my transmission. But now I have a whole new set of problems I need to fix. This is my process of installing this Shift Kit from an amateurs point of view. Hopefully, this video is informational for anybody else that wants to do this to their LS or just entertaining for other ...

So if the check engine just blinks fast nothing is wrong with it then ?
I believe so. is your check engine light on when your driving?
Hello, my car is a 1991 Lexus 400ls. The fuel pump failed and now after it was replaced, the electricity went out from the fuel wires and the electrical wires for the spark plugs. Can you help me if you have any information?
check your fuses to see if any of them are popped
Do you think I should cut my stock cups they sent me for the back I can’t get it low enough
just get ahold of speeding rod coilovers and they should send you shorter ones
I have been looking for a 1991 Lexus, black, for a long time. I need help finding the same model that is new and has a clean and tidy interior.
they are hard to come by! their value is only going up and clean examples of one are even harder. especially in the 1991 model
Lexus 1991, one of the most beautiful models. Please return its original tires. It is more beautiful.
I agree. it really is. I probably won't unfortunately haha
Ik how it works bc of this video but now…. My check engine light keeps blinking with no pause….. idk 🤷🏼♂️
if it is just continuously blinking I believe there are no fault codes in the system
if I remember correctly, that's what it means haha
How did you blew it up? Or it just took a 💩
my transmission used to overheat a lot and I didn't know it due to my electric fans noy working.. it turn caused premature failure. It's so frustrating😂
@@sexus400 well thanks for the advice ima make sure to take care of that haha. Godbless prayers your way! Keep up the work
yep! thanks for the comment! the only way I found out my transmission was overheating was because I installed a temperature gage
ha. my plate is 4HUNNA
badass🤙🏻
Good ol' Japanese cars...My 95 civic had the same thing. Just need a $0.01 paperclip for diagnosis. Ah gotta love it. Thanks bro!
yep!! I absolutely love it haha
For anyone else, Maxspeedrodz came out w a bettter coilover....highly recommended for the price!
Did you fix the issue? If you did, what was it?
no I never did. car never ran weird so I just left it. I plan on fixing it this winter tho. I think it was a vacuum modulator or something. I cant remember what it was called.
Does this work for any codes in the system ? like not just engine/transmission codes ?
what other codes would you be looking for?
@@sexus400 all my power windows work intermittently, when one works they all do. usually once I crank it up they’ll work but after a while they all stop, no noise or anything coming from the regulator and I’ve been thru about 3 window switches. I have some issues with my gauge cluster aswell not sure if that’s related but I doubt it. any ideas ? I thought damaged wires but I chased the harness all the way around
grounding problem somewhere would be my guess. common problem especially for those gauge clusters. usually have to send them in somewhere to get fixed. I wouldn't be surprised if it is a similar problem with the windows but im not sure. these cars are too old to get any other codes or anything like that besides engine and transmission. idek if new cars would tell the problem on stuff like that haha
Have you ever installed a gear shifter on your LS 400
no I have not. I've looked into it sum, but not much
more videos gang
you want more videos of what?
@@sexus400 sliding that thing lol or build stuff , the car is sick want more content brother
been super busy recently. I'm always working on something tho. I'll be putting stuff out soon. the lexus needs a lotttt of work and im planning on bringing her into the shop and going through it this winter
Thank you so much. Just got a 1997 Lexus LS400, was wondering about this.
I'm glad I could help man! that's awesome!!
Not working for my 96 :/
hmm. it definitely should. maybe you don't have the jumper wire pushed in enough to make a connection?
I have a p0763 code on my 99 for shift c solenoid where can I order a shift c solenoid?
parts.belllexusnorthscottsdale.com/productSearch.aspx?searchTerm=egr&ukey_make=5773&ukey_model=89469&modelYear=1991
search through there. they sell a lot of OEM parts
Did you order from the dealer and the oil pump it still came like that With the shaft short I don’t wanna buy it from the dealer and it be wrong as well
no I ordered off ebay trying to save money
@@sexus400 appreciate it do u recommend changing out the pump to while your in there I’m planning on doing the same job I bought pretty much everything except the oil pump I just don’t want the little bearing to be loose might as well change it out to right ?
yeahhh it would probably be smart to replace the bearing, I highly doubt the pump itself is bad but the bearing could be bad and the seals could be on their way out. might as well replace them while your there. but if it is in your budget, it might just be easier to buy a new pump👍🏻
@@sexus400 appreciate it boss Man U gave me more confidence to knock it out just matter of dropping the trans now 💪
awesome man!! that's great to hear, let me know how it goes
I already new that be for but still I have to tell you…your explanation is perfect!
I appreciate it man!! I tried my best to explain for people new to the platform!
Do u scrape on speed bumps at that height
no I dont. I havent scraped on anything yet. because the springs aren't very stiff and the suspension bottoms out easy I have had my tires rub 1 time turning up a driveway. but that's about it
Worst coilovers money can buy 😂
probably true but they work for my budget
Just bought one in the same spec! Looks good. I have some issues motor wise but should be good soon!
thats awesome man!! that's super exciting, I hope you love the car
Check ecu caps
my ecu is fine. I blew the oil pump seal. transmission hasn't been getting proper cooling for a long time and I didnt realize it. it was just getting way too hot
Bought these for my 94 ls400 and seriously they are the worst coilovers i've had. Spring rate was wrong for the front ones and the bushings were shots after a summer of driving.
yeah they bottom out very very easily. but im okay with it for now. I cant afford anything else
Looks like I’ll be getting max coilovers
nice! my only complaint so far is the suspension bottoms out pretty easily. stiffer springs would fix that. it doesn't bother me all that much so imma just rock it👍🏻 lmk how it goes!
I'd be thinking of putting a Jzx100 body kit on it from Kunnyz or any drift style for it but i personally dont like VIP styles they look boring compared to drift style
agreed. if I had that much money to throw at this car there would be a lot of things already done but it just hasn't worked out that way haha
Before and after - showing daylight before and nighttime after - is not a fair comparison - of course lights look brighter in the dark
I understand that, but none the less, LED will almost always be way brighter regardless. I more so wanted to show how to do the swap
Wow 🎉. I love lexus 400
me too!!
crazy the difference just coilovers and rims make for this car. Got mine two weeks ago
I know right! absolute game changer man. thats awesome! what year??
Do you know if there is a seal that can easily be popped out where that smaller circle is at 10:28? It's next to the larger circle with the "X." I was told my leak could be coming from there or on the other side where the gear selector shaft is. Was told to purchase "two Timken 221207 seals. Transmission does not come out. One side takes 3 minutes to change. Other side you remove part of exhaust, shift attachment then seal. About 45 minutes. Pan doesn’t even come off. Seal pops out from outside." I can't find any videos on how to replace them though and want to have a visual and make sure I'm doing it right.
I'm not sure on that one, I havent heard of it leaking through that seal. I'm sorry I dont have a good answer for that
was thinking about getting these but also maxxing them out, how low do you think itll be off the groud?
if u have the different sleeve like I had to get you could slam it as low as you want pretty much. the only problem that people struggle with when slamming it with these coilovers is that the springs are not stiff enough and u need to either get different springs or just get a nicer set of coilovers. but if you want to ride at the same height as me or maybe a little lower you could probably make it work
Riding on 18's or 17's? Tires? Typically 18's look the best in my opinion.
I'm on 18s👍🏻
Good job man, did you ever get your shifting issues resolved/ fixed? The strip might be a tad much, but it is your car!
yes I did! sadly now reverse is slipping which sucks but it shifts great right now. I thought I was going to be too but I honestly really like it
There's rust in the back of the cab in mine too. But the wabbits coming along bub
appreciate it man!
restoring a 1994 ls 400 currently, glad to see other people are STILL building these
thats awesome!
Love your ride height. Right where I will be putting mine. But think I am going with the T6 units with dampening adjustments. Great job once the lex looks great. And congrats one award.
these coilovers have dampening adjustment on them as well! I appreciate it man, I really like the height as well. thank you!! let me know how they turn out!
What are the specs of your rims and tires. Weight and offset
18×8 +35 offset on my wheels tires are 225/40ZR18 92W
Great video. Liked and subscribed.
appreciate it man!!
Thanks so much Ezra. You have a natural ability to teach and explain!
thank you! I appreciate it a lot!!
what kind of transmission issues made you do this? i have a 1990 and a few months back it was not accelerating uphill and it almost felt like it was slipping. its not doing it as often now but when i push the second accelerator or kick down there is a delay before it actually accelerates. i bought the trans filter already and am waiting on solenoids as well. any other things i should focus on? i also replaced the fluid with valvoline type 4 atf a few months back. thx for any advice!
replacing fluids, adding some platinum lubegard additive to ur tranny, make sure your cooling system for your transmission is working (like your electric fans), make sure your fluid levels are good, replace those shift solenoids, and replace the filter👍🏻 your doing about all the right things man. I dont think I would recommend a shift kit to fix any of your problems, but a shift kit is fun. if you have any transmission fault codes I would check those as well. but yeah, just keep checking all your bases! I hope you get it figured out!!!
The O/D off isnt for odometer its for overdrive I'm fairly sure
did I say odometer? I meant overdrive!
I installed LED head lights on my 91 LS400 and when i did my Fog lights were no longer functional. All it would do was turn the brights on. I was curious to see if yours does the same or if your fog lights turn on still after installing. Thank you.
my fog lights have never worked. all it does is turn the brights on, same as yours. i tried replacing the bulb with LED bulb and it still didn't work. I'm not sure
Oh dang oh well. Thank you for the fast reply. Looking forward to your next LS400 video.
Bro I appreciate tf out this video
I'm glad this helped man🤙🏻 hope you figure out your problem
@@sexus400what if the check engine like isn’t pausing
@@SarrioVisionaryif either light continuously blinks with no pause, that means you have no codes
yeah, what the other comment said. if it is constant blinking. you have no codes👍🏻
Hell yeah! It is coming along! I can't wait to see where it's at when I get home!
appreciate you buddy🤝🏻 the progress is coming along super fast
How is the visibility when driving at distance with the LED?
what do you mean? how far do my headlights shine? or how good can other drivers see my lights??
love it 😍😍😍😍
Goooooooood 🎉🎉
I love those Rabbit Pickups and would definitely have one as a run around vehicle, I dream of one with a newer 1.9 liter diesel, (I would Never "Roll Coal" because I'm old and it means that the turbo isn't intercooled but I totally get it) It's a cool project.. and maybe I'll see what you wind up asking for the thing
I love these pickups too! my dad said the same thing but he did the same thing I did as a kid😂 he actually had semi stacks coming out of the bed on his. I appreciate the comment!
What are those headlights from the thumbnail?
it is a light bar from "Flux Geare"
@@sexus400 Appreciate you brotha!
@@sexus400 I've been really looking at getting one of those hoodbeam kits, you mind uploading a video or some more pictures of yours?
what kind of pictures / videos are you looking for on it? I have a couple startup videos of the lights in my camera roll that I could send on insta! I might also have some videos showcasing the lights on my tik tok
dude im about to get the same year,
thats awesome!!
I AM ALGERIAN i love toyota and i love LS400 for me it best berline car in the world and all time ever . this car is not comercialized in my country ... sad i will buy one if i can . it fantisy to have this car .

Thanks for your dedication to the LS 400 and making the effort to video your process. You're helping others keep these beautiful cars on the road for years to come.
