GS300 "Jumpy" Transmission?
#16
I know what you guys mean, but I would describe it as more of a "lumpiness" when decelerating in drive. Like it's cycling through the ratios, it's hard to define, but it's just not smooth. If you shift into neutral as you roll to a stop, you will find that the sensation disappears altogether and your stops are liquid smooth, as they should be. I asked my mechanic to test for it but naturally he had no idea what I was talking about. Everyone who has serviced this car for me is convinced I am insane.

And you are not insane.

I try not to do it anymore but I get obsessive about the sensation and I forget and slip it into neutral now and then. Maybe I should write Lexus Corporate. They love me.

After a while you'll react to the down and upshifts naturally,, with braking technique. I find myself braking in rhythm with downshifts whereas I don't feel it any longer I guess I've had the car too long!
