So I decided to change the transmission fluid on the Lexus. Looks like I have a leak from the pan. Oil was black like engine oil. Drained 2qts. Added close to 3 quarts drained closed to 1qt through the overflow. Oil was still black. I’ll pick up some more oils a filter and gasket tomorrow and change that out maybe do a few more flushes. Transmission is going to work or go completely out. Haha.

I never believe in lifetime fluid. I had lexus change out my fluid at 100k on my 08 350 and never had an issue. Drove it to 140k without issue before I traded it in. From the code you got it does seem like the solenoid is bad. That is pretty easy to have changed out. You might even be able to find a DIY.
From what I read on that code, symptoms of that code is car not going past 3rd gear. My car goes past 3rd gear. I’m dropping the pan today to replace the filter and gasket. I’ll take the solenoids out to clean and test them. If nothing changes. I’ll drop it off for a rebuild on Sunday

Well there goes the tranny. Was driving to drop it off at my uncles shop 1.5 hours away. 30 mins into the drive in the dirt hill it started to slip. Won’t go, turned around and about 10 miles before getting home lost all gears. I’ll be towing sometime this week out there 8-/.

Well picked up the car this weekend. With a rebuilt transmission. Forgot to tell my uncle about the solenoid c he didn’t replace it. Still brought the car home since I was already there. Now I need to order the correct one so I can swap it out. Anyone have a part number n best place to get it from. Car drives really good up till 3rd gear won’t shift into 4th.
