Seeking some assistance in identifying the cause of a shudder in our Lexus GS300 when we engage reverse gear. As we then move back the gearbox has an initial and quite noticable shudder but then goes away as the speed picks up a little going backwards.
The gearbox has also had the occasional 'moment' over the past few months when it has stuck in gear briefly etc but these other problems have been intermittent.
I read on another post on this forum about gearbox problems that were solved by replacing the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) but there was NO mention of a shudder in reverse on these posts.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
I am worried that if I take it to a Lexus dealer they will say that I need a replacement gearbox which are $$$$$$$$ in Australia.
Thanks
