Valve Body upgrade ??
i have a question about the parts included in a VB upgrade.
is it standard to change the 3 springs that fall out when removing the VB from the tranny with 3 rod looking objects?

1-2 some times does not chirp i think because it hits rev limiter (3.76). it chirps when i give a good amount of gas (almost flooring) but under normal driving its ok. just hear and feel the tranny shift really hard under normal driving but no wheel chirp
2-3 chirp when i floor it. no chirp under normal driving.

If you sent out your valve body to Turbo East the changes are not reversable, furthermore your car will be down for some time and you have the cost of shipping too. I looked at all options here is what I found. The rods that I am installing are the main part of the valve body upgrade, the rods will make shifts 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5 shift harder and 37% faster cutting a half second off the 1/4 mile time. 1-2 shift will not be upgraded unless you drill the valve body out, I'm not bothering with 1-2 shift as it would cost me $400.00 + shipping and then downtime. Toyomoto has the stage 1 valve body upgrade for $250.00 which consists of 3 machined rods. I got mine from a guy online for $100, I'll post up video of before and after results. I'm putting them in next week as soon as they arrive.
We have the same tranny as the IS300 Auto, its the newer version of the Supra tranny and it holds 450RWHP+
