02 GS300 won't move when gas is pushed
02 GS300. Roughly 67k miles. Car starts and idles fine. When I put it into gear, nothing seems to be out of the normal. When I go and pushed down on the gas pedal, the car would rev but would not move OR barely move. If I keep stepping on the gas slowly and allow the car to slowly pick up speed, it will eventually run like normal. But if I leave the car alone for a few hours or overnight, the problem would come back. What could be going on? Thanks.

I checked the tranny fluid when the car's been sitting overnight and the fluid line is between the two notches. Is that ok? Should I recheck with the car warm up?
If I need to get to the filter, how would I go and do that?

Maybe your Catalytic converters are clogged? At on etime my car would not accelerate no matter how much gas I gave it. AT first, it would be slow, then pick up speed. Later, it got worse and would go past 10M.P.H.

New trans filters on these cars are normally not required.

You did not check this correctly. First, let the car come up the temp (drive it around for 10 min or something) then park it, go through all the gears (Park all the way to Low) and back again. Then check the trans fluid.

Quote by Tinman sounds like he hit the bull's eye!
I've recently had a transmission fluid changed (not at the Lexus dealer), and the filter was not changed. He told me the filter doesn't need to be changed and won't change it..b/c of risks...?
Anyhow, I changed the trans. fluid and that was it...runs well btw.
