Default tranny service

For the second time in my life, I got transmission fluid change on one of my cars. The first was a Ford Escort which really needed it. I thought a car like a Lexus wouldn't ever need it. Well, I got the fluid changed in my 95 sc300 with 50,000 miles because I felt it was taking too long in 2nd gear. I can't believe the difference. Car feels new again. I wrote this post to recommend doing the same, you won't be sorry.

Yeah, that kick when it shifts is stronger....that's when I knew something changed. Feels great.

I thought that, if anything, a fluid flush will make the shifts smoother. It always has to mine, anyway. . .
