GS transmission problems?
Have you had any transmission problems with your GS? If so, how many miles were on your car? Any input would be greatly appreciated, especially if you have a GS with high miles & NEVER had tranny issues.

So, if tranny is a weak spot on 3rd gen GS, does it make sense to install external transmission oil cooler or perform ones a year trasmission oil flushes?
I usually do it on most of my cars. What do you think?

I had my transmission replaced on my gs350 at 68k miles somewhere around there, it just started pouring oil out after a 30 mile drive, lexus said it was just a defect and replaced it. I have heard few gs300 had issues not gs350. Gs350 only has 6 speed transmissions, lexus trannys are knwon to be bulletproof and reliable.

I met an elderly man once who was driving his 90 Ls 400 with 400+ k miles .
Original motor and tranny. Original owner too.
The only other car that could do that is a Lincoln town car. Dad had 2 in his fleet that got to 450k on original motor and tranny. Some legend says MB cars can do that too, but I think it's a spook story.
