2000RX3 Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 I own a 2000 RX300 with 65,000 miles, my question is about transmission operation. When I am going any speed and let off of the gas for a second (enough time for the RPM's to drop) and when I get on the gas again (sharply but not enough to down shift) there is a "padded jerk" the best way to describe it. I recently had the fluid changed, so that’s clean. The reason I am so concerned is because of the horror stories associated with the RX tranny. The warranty is coming close, is this something to have looked at?? Or is it normal?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgriffith Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Have you always noticed this or just since recently changing out the fluid? Also, did you use the Toyota Type T-IV tranny fluid? Just a few questions that will be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000RX3 Posted November 16, 2004 Author Share Posted November 16, 2004 I believe it has always done this, as long as I have owned it since 50,000 miles, the original owner took very good care of it (all the scheduled maintenance at Lexus w/ documentation). I had the fluid changed at a Lexus dealer, they did a complete flush and refill, cost 230.00. I (without knowing any better) added ATF +3 when it was low, but the mechanic at Lexus scolded me and did the fluid change. The +3 was in there for about 300 miles or so, not too long to cause any damage I hope. Thanks for your help :cries: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
