What Does Your Lexus SC400 Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your SC400’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Lexus SC400 transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Lexus SC400 transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your SC400 at all.

2000 Lexus SC400 Questions & Answers

  • 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. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Lexus SC400? 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 SC400’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your SC400 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my SC400's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Lexus SC400 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 Lexus SC400 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Lexus SC400 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your SC400 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.

  • Should I avoid driving my Lexus SC400 if there is a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your SC400 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.
