will my 97 Gs300 have TC?
it has,nt got a switch on the dash so it either does,nt have it or it does but i cant switch it off.
any ideas??? i,m only asking as i know big autos with wide tyres are USELESS but TC makes things much worse.
Gs300 drivers do it sideways...

thanks for the advice guys. as mentioned i,ll have a look under the bonnet when it thaws out but i suppose the easiest way of knowing is to boot it and see what happens. there will be enough ice around here for a long time yet :whistling:

I think LS only got TC in it's 4th generation (around 98) and it was the first model to get it - so would assume the GS only got it when the mk2 arrived.
