2003 Lexus is300 potential transmission problem?
Hey everyone, my first post on the site
I have a 2003 Lexus is300. Almost 200k miles. Overall I haven't had any major problems with the car at this point. Here is the problem I am experiencing:
The car is automatic and drives fine until I get to 60MPH. I get to this speed usually on the highway. Once I reach 60, the car doesn't accelerate any more. If I am not mistaken the car still revs like it wants to accelerate but it just wont budge.
I checked the transmission fluid, it's at the right level but it's really dark?
Any and all feedback is appreciated.

can you shift through the gears manually. Keep it out of D and see if you can get it to rev up in 2 -3 and pass 60mph. perhaps turn OD off. That would tell you if its a sync issue with a gear inside the transmission.
