Very HARD DISTURBING vibration when IN R and tapping the gas
Hello fellow CL's
When i got the car which was 2 months ago i was on a slight hill i put it in reverse and tapped the gas and this crazy vibration from the back came. It was loud vibrated the whole car like the tranny is broken or something. After that day i haven't noticed it. Today i put it in reverse to speed reverse into parking and i had this HORRIBLE vibration like the rear differential all broken or something. The feeling is like stalling on a manual car but all in the back. This only happens when u put it in reverse and tap and let off the gas. Driving forward and reverse SMOOTHLY nothing happens. I tried to search on the forums but seem's like i'm the only one with this problem. BTW i have the AWD GS350 2007 with 44,500 miles. Still under warranty and i got it extended through troy. But before i make the appointment and stuff i would like to know if you guys ever experienced this or can try this in your car see if this happens to all AWD. Thanks in advance.

I have felt the very same thing on my RWD GS when the rear tire spins. It causes this strong vibration from the rear. I think its the same with your car

i have an AWD i am tapping the gas LITERALLY TAPPING AND LETTING OFF its not like i floor it also it was dry and i tried to pill out in the rain in R and D and just not happening that why i got me a all wheel drive. But i am thinking maybe its a Mount like a tranny mount that doesnt hold the tranny in place and when tapping the gas in moves and gives this vibration.

The same thing happens with me and quite honestly, it really scares me. Even when I'm at a red light it will sometimes do that. I've taken it to Lexus when I got my car serviced and oil changed and they said that they looked at it and plugged it up to a computer but found nothing wrong.

Well here is a thing. Took it to my mechanic told him that i have my hand resting on the shifter all the time and when i hit bumps the shifter moves around ABnormally. So he is telling me most likely its the way it suppose to be. I asked him to check out my tranny mount and he didn't want to because the car only has 43k miles on it. Back and forth i got him to check it out and he told me i was right it needed replacement because its moves around a lot. Now maybe that could cause this but then again its feels like its has something to do with rear differential. I am not sure anyone else tried to do this or experiencing this?
