twyatt Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hello, I am new to this forum. I have a 92 Lexus with 190,000 miles that likes to jerk when you first start out...once you get passed 20 mph, it subsides. but when you slow down, and take off again, it starts jerking again.. it's like it's trying to die, but it don't. It is very dangerous in town, because you don't know, when it will take off...I am afraid that I will be run over one of these days... If you have any suggestions, or if you've had the same problem, please help me to figure it out.. thanks, twyatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMF Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 your tranny is dying. thats pretty much it. from what i know you cant do much about it. you can try changing fluid, it can either help or just kill it completely. if it jerks from what ive heard, teeth on the gears might be broken off, this is why it jekrs, those broken teeth get in between gears and break more teeth. that happend to me on my old chrysler, had to rebuild the tranny.

90LS400Lexus Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Might need a little more details..... I would have it checked at a Lexus/Toyota dealer before doing anything. Rates are not too bad.

RFeldes Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 vmf probably has a handle on it but I strongly suggest 90ls400's suggestion to go to the Dealer as there are a multitude of other reasons since we don't know the history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
