Default Problem - 2007 LS460 engine or transmission "chatters"

Well, i have almost had it with this car.

Weh nthe car is idling in park... ti sounds like the transmission is chattering,... then, once i put it in gear it gets louder. like a medium fast "clinking" noise.

ALSO, when rolling at a slow speed and i barely hit the gas the transmassion (or maybe engine) makes a zipping chattery noise.



WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

I've never heard of that. Take it in to your authorized Lexus dealer. If the previous owner abused this car, who knows... (I'm assuming you're not the original owner).

We have a similar problem, the dealers say that are the 2 high pressure gas pumps located behind the engine, this was a crazy design made by Toyota in this 460 engines and now they are getting noisy maybe because some of their components in the pump have lost their original dimensions.
