Are you planning on using dealer parts of after-market?

As suggested by another OP use: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1798458

Aisin makes very good OEM parts. Please utilize the search function, I know you are still new but just an FYI...

I have to do mine on my GS400... I saw ebay has a kit but the parts are made by PCI, never heard of them but for $250 this is what you get: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-00...Q5fAccessories

The seller seems to be reputable as well... Hope that helps...

I got my OEM parts from Lexus of Pembroke Pines. They were cheaper than all other OEM sources I tried.

Yup. Of course in my case, I was saddled with our lovely 9% state sales tax if buying from Carson, which made the total higher than Pembroke. So it may work out differently for non-CA residents.

Hey Leon, their prices are much cheaper than the other sites such as Sewell and Carson, are they trustworthy though?
