Harsh 1-2 Shift, 2-3 And 4-5 Shift Flares On 2008 Lexus ES350 When Cold by Inception(m): 8:48am On Jan 18, 2020 |
Hi guys, 3 weeks ago I recently purchased a Toks 2008 Lexus ES 350 from Lagos. Upon arrival I noticed a slightly harsh 1-2 shift ( which was quite unusual for a U660E transmission, as I have driven many) amongst other minor nuances. But my current worry now is that on a typical cold start, I noticed a quite serious 2-3 shift flare and 4-5 shift flare( which is even worse than the 2-3 flare), accompanied by the occasional 1-2 harsh shift. But after like 7 minutes of driving, the shift flare is gone( but the 1-2 harsh shift is still there). Also noticeable is a harsh engagement into reverse from Neutral or park. Shifting from Drive to reverse and vice versa is quite smooth So far I have not done anything to the transmission ( nothing has been touched) No transmission code is present. Pls help advise me on what to do because it is becoming a source of worry that the transmission may pack up soon Gurus in the House: Kashif Kingreign KINGreignn Radautoworks Honmusa Autologic Gazzuzz Cardoctor |

Inception: Best case, ECU programming. Worst case, you already know. Slim chance valve body or TCM. Was the car worked on before you bought it? If you can find out, what was the last thing worked on? 3 Likes |

radautoworks:Chai Actually I thought that it was most likely a valvebody problem. I have been reading recently that early model U660E transmission was notorious for having valvebody problems. The TCU however is another kettle of fish I intend replacing the fluid today to see how it goes. Replacing the fluid it temperature dependent so I have to prepare for that |

Inception:Do an Oil Change first. Check the condition of the atf. Check the transmission sump too if it's pressed. |

Inception:I’ll advise you to seek for the original Toyota/Lexus automatic transmission fluid (ATF) before changing your transmission (gear box oil) fluid, as there abound fake oil in Nigeria. If you use any of these un recommended transmission fluid like ABRO, Oando e.t.c, it will make things worse. When looking for transmission fluid, ask for original Toyota/Lexus Type IV. I wish I’m nigeria now, I’ll have sold you the original one I bought from Lexus dealership here in the U.S, as I have an extra 8-litres in my place. Anyway, good luck and I hope you find the right fix. The ES is a great car if taken good care, as I own similar year as yours. 3 Likes |
