Finally got up early for a change and got the tranny fixed! All 3 solenoids popped right in. I filled up with some toyota type IV. Took the car out and it was AMAZING. Boost builds much much faster. The car pulls harder and stronger and really slams you back into the seats. Waiting on some new plugs and wires to get here since I know the plugs are pretty fouled up from the o2 sensor issue I had before.

I read about the procedure. What I decided to do was just wait till this tranny gives out and just pick up the 1j tranny. I'm gonna install my tranny cooler later this week.

Got a chance...

to meet Curry this weekend. Great guy! He runs with some cool guys and I will stay in contact with them. This car has gone through a huge transformation for the good. It is very clean in the inside. I had a rough week last week and I thought about selling my car but after hanging with them, no way
