    have you ever looked into any of the adhesives they use in autobody. 3m, lord fusor, evercoat and valvoline all make really good products. probly the best would be the evercoat since that one dont take a special gun, just a typical calking gun is all you need.

Yeah I was wondering about that myself but after reading on clublexus it sounds like it's a pretty common problem with the GS300. The cable stretches too easily or something retarded and doesn't let a spring loose or keeps a spring loose that shouldn't be and doesn't let the latch catch and hold. Yesterday I finally got the damn thing to latch after taking a needle nose to the cable right next to the latch and yanking on it a few times. I also called Lexus in Wayzata and asked the guy about a latch and he said he never sells latches but sells TONS of cables for this problem and told me it is 99/100 times the cable that is the problem. I have the replacement in my back seat and will hopefully have the problem fixed this weekend.

    It sounds like it is more of a valve body/solenoid issue rather than the whole transmission. Check out www.explorerforum.com/forums and their transmission section.
