Transmission
GS4 my transmission seems to be having a slight problem or is it just me.
When the car is cold and I dont warm it up as long as I should the transmission seems to take long to change gears. Does it happen to you
Another is, even after it warms up I feel a slight slip from 2nd to third.
Can it be a major problem
Can a good tranny flush take care of the problem?
Have anyone tried aamco flush. and what would be the best tranny oil to use.

hey ... Have you checked the levels of the tranny fluid and if so what color is it? It should be a red color - not bright but more like clear bloody red. It shouldn't slip between 2nd and third you shouldn't even notice the change in gears. The ECT POWER button isn't on right? If it is then the car changes gears in the higher rpm's. How many miles do you have on the car?
Well you know dashocker has setup that meet to go get amsoil on saturday. If your planning on doing a flush you should go with the amsoil synthetic, plus the bilstein machine does a good job of getting the gunk out in the process...

This is intended to extend the life of the tranny since it's not good to run through the gears on a cold tranny. At proper temps all metal parts have expanded and fix exactly as designed. Run it easy until the engine temp is good then let her have it...WOT...
I take it easy when its cold .
but in high speed I take the ***** to atleast 120 hehe
Every dayyyyyyyyyyy Pa que lo sepas

Wow a lot of poor Lexus drivers 300 bucks is too much for a tranny flush with Amsoil? The dealer will really put you six feet under with there prices.

If you don't have a spot to install them let me know i'll give you the place that did mine. It was $140 bucks and like i showed you they did it as a bolt on to the oem flange, no cut pipes.
Hey sean we have another fellow magnaflow member
Oh with the tranny make sure its the toyota type IV tranny fluid.
