Anh - I guess it depends on your driving style. I've ridden in a GS4 with the 2400 rpm T/C & it doesn't launch as hard as mine but I have to remember that I also have the 3.76 geared RMM LSD ( which made a fairly dramatic change in itself ). Actually, I think the LSD ( whether with or w/o the steeper gears ) is a nice mod as it gets the power to the ground. After all, what good does having all the power in the world do ya if it all goes up in tire smoke?? Of course, THAT'S fun, too!! Sounds like you've thought things over well & I'd suggest U go with the 2400 stall convertor. It'll probably flash to around 2600-2700 anyway but I doubt that U'll lose much response or economy since the factory GS4 T/C stalls at close to 1800 rpms ( according to my Lexus tech ). I'd imagine that Pro-Torque could change the stall speed at a later date if U so desire; Precision will give ya a free change within the first year. It'd be cheaper to get it right the first time unless U WANT to pay for another R&R? :eek:

i also have this solenoid problem and am getting it replaced ASAP, MG do you know hte cause of this? was it from gate shfiting or transmission heat? or just a flaw of 1998GS?

let me know please so i will know if i must stop gate shifting

Sasha - Just keep driving like a madman!! Seriously, my dealership has changed about half a dozen of these solenoids & mine was the only modded GS. My tech figures that it's not a result of driving style but just a batch of bad parts. Remember that I LIVE in E-shift mode myself!!

I think that was a big problem with toyota in 1997-1998 they got alot of bad ones and replaced them in many cars.You guys are lucky it took so long to screw up my friend blew his the first week he got the car and man was he pissed that he had just got the GS300 used and did not have it checked.
