In my07 460 when I make rt turns the trans seems to windout a bit before enguaging but when I make left turns there is no probs at all. Also I changed my oil recently and used 5w 20 synthetic . Since the I'm having shifting problems. I was reading that 0w20 would cure that problem. Is that true that motor oil would affect the transmission?

 

Mine does that too. Not everytime. If i take a left turn at a stop and go. It revs up a bit then tranny catches up. Never found a answer.

 

I noticed that too when turning right from stop. It seems the car revs up to almost 1800-2000 rpm before engaging. Maybe safety feature?

 

Zero Point Calibration will solve the problem you are having. I fixed the same issue one my highlander by doing this.

 

Will test it out today and report back .

 

Did it work?

 

Going to get to it this Sunday. Started a new job this week. Will let you know.

 

I Can confirm that doing Zero Point Calibration . Improved shifting when turning and gear engagement.

 

Likely the transmission fluid level is low.

 

How do you do Zero Point Calibration?

 

I'm thinking the fluid level also but how do you fill it? Or even check it for that matter. Also I can't find any info on doing a zero point calibration on the year make and model. Any info I could be directed to?

I don't know if this is applicable to LS460; but Here is a thread on doing it manually: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc4...30-solved.html

 

I am just not certain which is the TS and CG pin on the LS. Some says Pin 4 and 12 another says pin 4 and 13. Anyone???

 

I had gone to Lexus and they tell me that I need a replacement transmission and want to charge me 7400 dollars when I go to the Lexus owners site it shows me a bunch of fault codes a,c,d solenoids and a transmission pump. The service tech stated the trans pump not the report. But it wasn't a big problem until I got it back from the dealer for the 135000 maintenance.

 

I went to the Toyota Dealership to get a drain and refill today. I'm so pissed.
I dropped my car off at 8:47 Saturday morning to have my transmission serviced and I was told it would take about three hours. At 1pm, I called and asked, what's the status of my car? I was told, it's almost done. When I didn't get a call back, I called again at 3pm and was told, the mechanic was finishing up. At 3:30, I went to see what the hold up was and found out the car hadn't been started. Now I'm very upset. I found the service manager, Kevin Johnson and asked him what possible explanation could you have for this situation? Well, there was a mix up and we'll get right on it now. It's been 7 hours now and I am so frustrated with this Service Department. This is the second time they had my car and both times, they found a way to fail in every way possible. I just don't know how you people justify this type of customer service.
