Transmission problems

[Augustus Agbo]

Hello everyone,

Mine is a 2008 LS 460, 265k miles. The reverse gear doesn't function and transmission from 2 to 3 disengages.

I would highly appreciate your assistance. 

 

Thanks

Have you had the transmission fluid changed as per the maintenance schedule? If so, have you checked its level? Sometimes, a low level will cause issues like slippage.

I agree with RX400h and an examination of the fluid will determine if there is wear in the clutch plates/bands which could be one of the causes

Does 2009 LS 460 ever need a transmission fluid change? Recently I have been feeling my transmission shifting than before.

  Transmission shifting very hard when I put the car on reverse and when driving the car sometimes revs  showing high rpm before gears shift.  

Any feedback would be appreciated.
