What’s the Importance of Your 2001 LX470’s Transmission?

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. Lexus LX470 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood.

Questions About 2001 Lexus LX470’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Lexus? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. 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 your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your LX470’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your LX470 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my LX470's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Lexus LX470’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Lexus LX470? Yes, your Lexus LX470 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your LX470 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.
  • Who can fix my  Lexus LX470 transmission leak? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair LX470 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Is it okay to drive a LX470 with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your LX470 if it’s leaking transmission fluid. 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.
