Default Transmission Lag Issue?

another poster suggested that for around $300 this could be solved for earlier models. If someone in the know would elaborate, I would appreciate it. What is done for $300 to fix it and what exactly is fixed? Thanks for any insights!

You're probably thinking of the Blitz Throttle Controller or Sprint Booster, which are basically the same type of mod. There have been several threads about each if you do a search. i2fat is selling his used Blitz: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/2ge...ontroller.html

Sprinter boost is cheaper and easier to install.

Would like to suggest that there is a computer reprogram that came out as a technical service bulletin for the 2010. But I bet it may also apply to the 06 and up vehicles.

My awesome Lexus master tech did some research for me, and find the TSB.

The difference in Eboni has been amazing.

$319 + $20 shipping.... Worth-it?

Guess the TSB is only for 06+ with the 6-speed transmission.
