It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2005 Lexus GS300 transmission problems could include shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Lexus GS300 transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your GS300 at all.

2005 Lexus GS300 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Lexus's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Lexus tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your GS300’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my GS300's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2005 GS300’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Lexus, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Lexus GS300? Yes, your Lexus GS300 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your GS300 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Where can I get my  Lexus GS300 transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for GS300 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Lexus GS300 if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your GS300 with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
