Trank Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I hd the dealer change my trans fluid in my 07. Found out later that this is not part of necessary maintenance protocol. Cost me 150 or 200 bucks, and I've had a trans whine ever since. I'll keep an eye on this thread 2 c if someone knows what causes this.

sktn77a Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 This is a known issue with some 2013-2015 LS460s. There is a Technical Service Bulleting (L-SB-0103-14) outlining the repair process. Basically, the revised engine mounting on the 2013+ cars caused the transmission to be misaligned and they need to replace a transmission mount and isolator to realign the transmission and fix the problem.

Rockinrob Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Keith: You are right on the money on the TSB for tranny whine. My 2016 LS F-Sport has it mostly around 5 to 40 mph and can be intermittent.. My Service advisor said that since my car's date of manufacture was 10/2015... he suspects that they might not have switched over to the improved mounts until the Dec-Jan timeframe at the factory. I'm expecting a detailed inspection / upgrade at the next service - since this is my 4th LS from Hendrick Lexus of Charleston. They have been phenominal in all aspects of sales & service. My fingers are crossed!! 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldjohn Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 i just had the tsb preformed and it did not help on a 2013 42000 miles. seems to be heat related to me. no whine when started cold for first 6 minutes and it worsens as the car heats up. very odd. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boyer Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I have the transmission whine on my 2014 LS 460. I am going to take it in for inspection. I will let you all know what happens as it is the most irritating noise ever on my car. John Boyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldjohn Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 great. my time runs out in 2 weeks on the enhancement program. my new complaint is the ebap system soleniod clicking when stopped and it purges. very loud in the cabin. oddly when it is doing so if i out it in N. or P. it stops for that period. if it would not lurge below 1200 rpm i think the issue would be gone. 239 777 9898 john aycock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
