Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Lexus LS400 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Lexus LS400 transmission problems linger and your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that you can't drive your LS400 at all.

1991 Lexus LS400 Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Lexus? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Lexus? 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 LS400’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my LS400's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Lexus LS400 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Lexus LS400 leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Lexus LS400, 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.
  • Who can fix my  Lexus LS400 transmission leak? When your LS400 transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.

Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
