I have 94,000 miles and the car runs really great.

I'm a little concerned that with my lead foot that the tranny doesn't shift quickly enough between say, 1st and 2nd and then 2nd and 3rd.

I recall one person from another site saying they would get the 'chirp' upon shifting to 2nd under full throttle. My car has never chirped, nor even come close. It shifts like an old lady would want her Lexus to shift.


I'm thinking about: A. Getting a fluid flush. I dont' know if it's ever been done. B. getting the GB for PI TQ. then the fluid would all get replaced anyway.

Of course, my car only has 14k miles on it
I wouldn't mind a bit "firmer" shifts on mine too, but Lexus has to compromise a bit on this I believe, since not everyone driving the GS is as into performance as us here on CL.
I assume you're using the Power mode, which has some effect on shifting performance-although probably not much on the firmness of the actual shift.
Also, there are at least a couple of shift kits available-I've read positive comments on the one by SRT...
