I have Lexus es350 2007 and it used to work perfectly last night I put it in reverse it won’t move but move forward. This morning when I put it in reverse it make one shift which you can notice before it can move and it shaking while reversing please anyone with solution.

 

New transmission time

 

You mean I need to replace the transmission.. we call it gear over here if I am correct. Is there nothing else I could do? There’s no enough money for that. I’m from Africa

 

can you read English okay, being from Africa? If so, here’s a link for you to read possible solutions.

Most likely a valve body problem due to old worn out dirty fluid and lots of miles. A fluid change may help and is a relatively small investment.
Or if that does not work or is not possible,
Try to find a used transmission, then if you do find one, be sure to change the fluid during installation.
Or shop for another vehicle and sell yours for junk.

 

I JUST posted my ES for transmission issues. Seems to be a common problem.

 

yeah it seems so.. my car can’t move in reverse I just don’t know what the problem would be I just left it there

 

I loved the way my 2008 ES drove on the highway, the engine power, and the quality and fit and finish of the materials and build. What I didn't like was the loud engine that made all kinds of noises, sounded like a race car, and the transmission. The earlier ES engines were soo quiet that you couldn't hear it running. I might look to get another Lexus, but if it has these kinds of problems, might as well get a Benz.

 

Mine had that problem after it was purchased 15 years ago. The shift solednoid for reverse was replaced.
Please scan it for the OBD codes.

 

I just changed the transmission valve body and I noticed that when I drive for a while then shift the gear selection into the reverse it will refused to reverse until I park the car, turn it off and allow it to cool for a while then turn it on again and put it into the reverse it will then move. So I want to know what the issue is, can you also tell me which of the solenoid it’s got the reverse so it can be changed. Please I will be looking forward to a quick response. This issue is causing me a lot especially financially.

 

My es350 drives & reverses, until it warms up then while driving it acts like it's slipping, & it will not reverse for anything. Can you give me some ideas please.
