2006 Lexus SC430 Transmission Q&A

  • 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Lexus tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your SC430 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your SC430 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my SC430 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Lexus SC430’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. 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 SC430? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Lexus SC430, potentially causing transmission problems.
