Transmission Shifting
2008 GS460
When accelerating from a stop sign/stop light it get's stuck in 1st gear for about 10 - 15 seconds before it shift to second gear. I notice this as the engine rev's high and is not shifting. Shifter is in Automatic and not manual mode. Happened at least 4 times in the past 2 weeks. Dealership is unable to replicate the issue and transmission checks out fine. Guess I have to wait until transmission get's stuck in gear before I can bring it back in.
Anyone else had this happen?

Hmmm....50k seems like low mileage for an issue but short trips don't let the fluid get up to temp so maybe is causing a solenoid to stick.
It crazy that all these manufactures are coming with this lifetime fluid crap when the manufactures of the transmission like ZF, Aisin, and Jatco don't recommend it at all...as for me...i'll change it every 60k or 3yrs...they just want you to make it out of warranty so they can say you need a new transmission.
