jonmacher Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hello Everyone, Im proud to say that I am the owner of a 96' ES 300. I just bought it last week!! I love the car so far, looks great, feels great, drives great!! There is one thing that I am a bit worried about... When Im driving and the car shifts gears, I can feel a little kick in the shift. It is most noticeable when it shifts from 2nd to 3rd gears. I figured this is a common factor with automatics, especially one with 120xxx miles on it. But I just wanted to double check. What do you guys think it may be ? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intakerGS Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Congrats on your purchase. Unless there's something wrong, your transmission should shift fluently. I suggest you refresh all major fluids first, starting with the tranny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
