    90 series 1KZ Torque Converter - Wanted

    What makes you think the oil pump will be damaged? It was not driven a lot once the odd noise came about, even though it would drive just fine. Gears all shifted fine, ect. And I already have a separate trans cooler bypassing the main radiator. Since doing that I never saw the AT light come back...

    Torque converter bad?

    Well engine is out. Something is definitely loose inside the torque converter, and I found what most likely caused the problem. The transmission oil pump seal failed and it started dumping ATF out. Most likely occurred in the last few weeks but we've had a lot of rain and I think it washed a...

    Torque converter bad?

    Would a bad bearing sound like a loose bolt being chucked around/grinded? @karl webster could be interested. Do you know of a courier/shipping service that would sent to Florida, US? Would probably need to be on a pallet.

    Torque converter bad?

    Update, checked the inspection hole underneath and don't see any signs of cracking or anything strange. I would have thought if it was the flex plate, it would occur whenever the engine is running, where as I am only getting the noise when in R or D. Also have a little bit of a shudder I picked...

    Torque converter bad?

    Hey guys, need some help. Don't often have trans issues so I'm not a pro but today I noticed the a pretty bad grinding/clanking noise coming from the bell housing area when I'm in Drive or reverse, with my foot on the break. When moving I don't really hear much but that could be because of...

    End of Gas Boilers.

    This stuff is so political. Here in the states, Gas boilers are now becoming popular, alongside diesel cars. It's like they just move from one market to another and flip flop whenever it suits them!

    Wheel spacers for 90

    The brand I have is spidertrax, but I don't think they're in the UK. Look them up and maybe they can ship them out. Those Eibach ones appear hubcentric IF they look like what the photo shows.

    Covid Swab Testing - China

    We have what's known as "Rapid Tests" over here in the states that get results within 15 minutes. Only downside is that they have less of these tests to go about compared with the typical test.

    1kzte engine removal guide!

    Have you removed all the bellhousing bolts? It's not a struggle removing this engine from the bay. There's plenty of space to wiggle things out. Not quite sure how you're struggling with it but pictures speak a thousand words if you want to upload some.

    Well i'm back again!!

    Does sound somewhat electrical. Have you checked all the connections going to the trans? There is a major earth wire that earths around the engine oil filter housing. check that one and the general ones. Sometimes when hot, resistance can cause electrical problems to worsen. There's also the...
