I want to get my transmission fluid change on my 1992 Lexus LS 400 but I'm not sure what fluid it needs. Also I have heard that the converter needs to be drained can that be done?

the steering lines fittings are different sizes it could be the sensor however make sure all the air is bleed out of the system first. to do this with the engine running turn the steering wheel full left and full right until you hear no noise then check the steering fluid level and repeat as needed.

I think it will be about 8L the most,u don't need to put transmission oil to torque converter,u can fill it up after the transmission in ,run the vehicle in park or neutral at operation temperature to check the level

I HAVE A 1991 LEXUS LS 400 WHEN I PUT IT I DRIVE

The first thing to have checked is the fuel pressure, low pressure kills the power.

Starter fluid --is for small equipment

Lawn mowers etc ,with only one piston

how many quarts of transmission fluid is needed to change in a 1997 lexus ls 400

May be an over rich fuel condition.
Repair the cause first
The converter is as good as dead, as a result of the real issues

For a total rebuild it is 12 liter, for a filter change it is 5 liter. But I would check the dipstick if it has to be sure. Hope this helps.

I have the same problem with my 94 LS, its getting fixed now. The camshaft sensor is telling the computer that the timing is off, meaning your timing belt is either jumping or missing teeth, or it may be going bad. It is a very big job, so I suggest replacing the belt, water pump, tensioner, and maybe the seals and pulleys as well. Are you at a lost of power, has you car ever cut off at a stop red light or when driving?

the little metal particules in an used transmission is normal but in the oil pan have a magnetig tip for catchit, remember also to change the oil strainer too
