Hey All,
i was wondering if anyone has used Lucas Transmission fix on a LS430? To fix transmission jerking and some slipping. I've been getting some jerking in my 03 LS430 around 2nd and 3rd gears.

Have owned my LS430 for over 5 years, bought it 155k miles, and now have 212k miles. Thanks.

Did you change the transmission oil?

JJman

I've never actually changed the transmission oil

Do this first before relying on a band-aid. Use Toyota T-IV fluid.

JJman

Ok, Toyota T-1V fluid available at local auto parts store or Toyota dealership? Thanks again.

bradland

Local parts store no, Toyota dealer yes.

JJman

Thanks everyone

What happened?

JJman

Yeah, used the Toyota T-IV and its running smoother now. I'm still trying to drive it on long trips to see how it goes. Thanks.

JJman

Used the Toyota T-IV, I think it made a difference. Definitely smoother ride now, I had an EVAP hose kept coming out also so I kind of taped that in. That also made a big difference. Thanks.
