It goes into third and pops out but for now i skip third and go to fourth to avoid future damage. How much time do i have with this tranny. I have 162k miles

what did you ever find out about this question I'm looking at purchasing an IS 250 2007 model with 129,000 Mi and it does have a slight grind going into third.

You better budget for repair. They don't get better on their own. Sometimes a fluid change can help, but I doubt it will fix it. Better practice rev matching.
