TOYOTA Genuine Lexus ATFWS amzn.to/47ZjbQL
If your transmission is slipping in your Lexus IS250 or IS350 it's because the fluid is dirty and needs to be changed. This is an easy service that can be done at home and I will show you how to do it in todays video. IS250 AWD transmission service requires 3 quarts of Toyota ATFWS and rear wheel drive IS250 and IS350 only needs 2 quarts.

I've noticed mine shifting weird and slipping lately sland uts got almost 209k on it mostly highway and will ve xhsnging the fluid but unfortunately at a stealership since I'm disabled but I'll buy my fluid ahead of time and bring it with me. It's not throwing any codes or anything so it has to be needing the fluid. Great video and its very informative.

The transmission computer doesn't always throw codes that show up on the dashboard as I've discovered. My car got stuck in 3rd gear for a mile and my CHECK VSC and all that never came on, afterwards I used the same scanner he uses in this video and found there were codes for a stuck solenoid even though no dash lights came on. You might have codes that you don't even know about.

Hi subscribed as I have this car as well I noticed that for your video there was a bit of a hard time for you to put the shifter in gear, I am having the same issue all of a sudden and yesterday it was very hard to move through except for reverse so for a while I could only go into reverse. Are these some of the symptoms you had with your Daughters car? I am super afraid I have to replace the transmission as money is tight right now. I am checking out the oil change, temperature change and thermostats videos as well. Thanks,

You mind me asking did you pull the code? I don’t know which route to go. I guess I can go cheap and just replace the transmission fluid but if it has to do with the solenoid then I have to pay twice. I guess the new fluid will cool it off and that part is really not that serious?

@mechanicaltypewriteroperat9885 3 ай бұрын

Thanks man. Lexus dashboard warn us if the engine oil is low but no dipstick or display for transmission fluid. Lame at least give us the dipstick. It just goes straight to CHECK VSC. Such a sweeping generalization.

You lucky man, mine has never been changed in the past 140K miles, P0894, P2714 has been popping up. Changed the filter, gasket, fluid twice, P2759 still showing up annoyingly. I m afraid i might have to change the SLU solenoid and the wiring harness, followed by a 3rd ATF drain and fill.

@IIdankII 5 ай бұрын

Did you notice any slipping after you changed yours at first? Mine never slipped but it hesitated and felt rough and now that I changed it, it feels better but I got stability and transmission codes after and some slight slipping. Edit: Codes went away but the slipping is still there. I'm going to have to get back under it and maybe throw some stop slip in with the mix. I think when I did this change the clutches were just too worn and losing some of the frictional content in the fluid made it worse. Worse comes to worse ill be putting a 6mt in mine.

@zerrodefex 4 күн бұрын

The new fluid might have loosened some gunk accumulated over the years that then got stuck somewhere else until to flushed through and got caught by the filter.

@kevinroberts6990 29 күн бұрын

In theory, if you drain while the car is cold, and then replace it with the same amount of cold fluid, there shouldnt be an issue

What do you mean by doing 1 cycle of fluid exchange? And why should we do two cycles?

@michaelvd2467 4 ай бұрын

I think he means changing the trans fluid, driving it around for a bit, then changing it again to drain out the fluid that you put in and get some fresh fluid in the system. What this does is kind of flush the system

@harryo586 2 ай бұрын

I got my car level, and don’t really want to take her down to drive her. I’ve left her idle for a while and given her some decent rev’s for the past 10 mins or so. I hope this is enough to then open the over-fill hex//level plug. Is there any major danger if the level isn’t EXACT? Let me know ASAP cuz I’m going to do it anyway 😂

@zerrodefex 4 күн бұрын

If you underfill the transmission expect some performance issues like slipping and rough shifts. It's better to overfill it slightly and do the leveling procedure than have issues and have to lift it again to put more in. It shouldn't take more than several minutes for the transmission to heat to 120F, check with a scanner or use a laser thermometer pointed at the transmission pan and if no fluid drips out when you open the overfill plug then you probably underfilled it.

I have an eerily similar situation. Bought my 2010 IS250 AWD two years ago and now at 116k miles I’m just starting to experience slippage. Gonna take her in to get the trans fluid changed hopefully that does the trick. The car has exceeded expectations up until now.🤞 Would love to have an update on the status of your daughters car. Any issues since?
