anthonyaragon20 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I have a 2000 lexus es300 and when I'm driving down the road the car feels like it just straight comes out of gear. It does it every 6-8 seconds on the highway and less frequently, if at all, under 40 miles an hour. It doesn't do this on an incline (going uphill). Is this the transmission and is there an easy fix for it? I am new to lexus, any help would greatly be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbhrps Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 anthonyaragon20, Several threads on this issue for your generation ES point to slipping clutches and failed solenoids inside the tranny. Its best to get the tranny codes read by Toyota/Lexus as they have the scanner needed to pull the tranny codes. At that point you'll know whether the tranny needs a rebuild or replacement. Depending on the mileage of your car, a used one might be the way to go. One person with much the same symptoms found that a transmission filter change and a complete fluid flush fixed his issue. Good Luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
