Transmission Problems 08 GS
Hi guys, I have 08 GS350 that has been doing some big time hesitating at low speeds. Brought to dealer and the mentioned water got into the transmissions and want me to pay for a flush.(I think they should, since it's under warranty) Has anyone else had this problem? Can damage done now cause issues in the future? Thank you in advance. Any comments would be appreciated. After 5 Lexus thinking of making a switch next time around.

I'm sorry, "moisture" got into transmission. It is a sealed unit. I'm concerned about future damage. They want me to pay almost 200 for the flush. Very disappointed with Lexus the last few yrs.

Ask them how the F "moisture" got in there if it is a sealed unit. Btw, $200 for a trainny flush is pretty cheap. I am having my IS350's tranny flush by the dealer here in CA and it would be $325 plus 9.5% sale tax. Basically they are charging 2 hours to hook the machine and use Techstream (spelling?) to flush the entire system plus cost of tranny fluid.

Idc if it's 200 or 300. Maybe they are just doing drain and fill. Idk. Wonder how long this tranny is going to last. So I take it no one has had this happen or heard of it before?

If water is getting in there then fluid is getting out plain and simple, so there is a hole, so it is broken. The other option is that someone who worked on your car simply put water in there (hearing of watered down ATF would be a first time for me), might sound ridiculous, but no more than being given the explanation that there is water in there.

Hi i have a 08 GS350 as well and I too do notice the tranny hesitating on low speeds, I was planning on doing a tranny flush but the dealer told me to wait until 100k. But I didnt tell them it was hesitating. My car has 57k on it right now.
