It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 1999 Lexus GS400 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood.

Questions About 1999 Lexus GS400’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Lexus's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Lexus GS400? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your GS400’s towing capacity. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my GS400's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Lexus GS400’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Lexus. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Lexus GS400 transmission fluid leak? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Lexus GS400, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
