Help Transmission problem
My lexus is250 started shifting slow into drive taking almost 3 seconds to finally get into drive and shifting slowly from 1st gear to 2nd gear.
Tried disconnecting the battery no results.
No lights on the dashboard either.

I understand your reluctance to pay stealership prices but on a modern electronically governed transmission like the IS250 6 speed, you don't want a "Johnny come AAmco" screwing it up.

dealer did not find anything wrong and could not get a code. Got told about a local lexus mechanic with experience so i called him up he thinks it might be a dirty trans oil filter or maybe some seals. hes gonna test the car today and il drop it of next tuesday for repair prob.

Probably checked the fluid. I know people think the fluid is not serviceable but it is. The OP has 110K miles of which some//many are spirited driving. Probably dirty fluid.
All of my Toyota's have the same WS transmission fluid and I start changing at 85K miles.
