My 2004 Toyota Passo didn't have this issue. The auto shifted normally but wasn't super smooth. Being fussy, I drained the ATF fluid and replaced it with Penrite full synthetic fluid. Although it was a mix of old and new fluid, the shifts became imperceptible and silky smooth 😊

We had a 2004 Lexus ES 330 that we purchased with 101,000 miles. At 243,000 we sold it to my father in law. It always had a frequent rough shift between 2nd and 3rd but at 243,000 the car still runs fine. I would still drive the car to California and back to Michigan without a 2nd thought. It's a tough tough car! It survived my wife (2 accidents), my youngest son and now my elderly father in law. Repairs on this car were very, very minimal.

@HR-wd6cw 2 года назад

Personally with that transmission issue, I would just monitor it. I mean the worst is you need a new transmission or a rebuild (luckily this one is a geared automatic so they are probably easier to rebuild than a CVT). But I think it's one of those things you sort of live with and if it get s worse then you do something about it (sort of like what Scotty is saying at the end...) And it's not tripping codes or cause the car to act funny (other than when it occurs between 2nd and third gear). I mean it could be as simple as an engine computer problem, but like Scotty said, just live with it. I mean I drove a 95 Ford Taurus for about 3 years with a bad transmission mount and a bad motor mount. Never got worse, just stayed the same and if you accelerated slowly you'd feel the clunk from only 1st to 2nd, but it wasn't worth fixing and I drove it for 3 year like that (put about 80k miles on the car in that time frame).

@letsgonow5641 2 года назад

They rarely rebuild them anymore usually will offer a used transmission. I guess for $3500 if he gets two years out of it its a win.

Very highly stolen, ( car is missing ) and have to spend alot of time with insurance company claims department, Not worthwhile to have a car that gets very highly stolen.

@THEH2OMAN 2 года назад

Scotty, the 6 speed transmission in my '07 Tundra would sometimes act up in Drive as it shifted from 4th to OD #1 5th while driving uphill. NOTE: I have zero service records for the first 270,000 miles, and I did have the dealer perform a drain & fill at about 272,000 miles... the problem continued after the drain & fill, so I changed the way I drive the truck. I take off in S-4, and shift into 5th manually as needed. This either solved the problem, or it hides the problem... the truck has almost 304,000 miles today. My point: Maybe changing how the vehicle is driven will extend it's service life.

This is the 3rd Lexus ES3** video i've seen on Scotty's Channel. He did one were he had to replace the alternator. In this video he said the valve cover gasket will leak, and the transmission slips between 2 and 3 gear. My ES330 have all the same issues.

@xxCodslayerson 3 дня назад

Yup got the same model with 275k miles. Burns a quart of oil every 500 miles so engine will probably go out sooner rather than later. Transmission is fine though. Also the cat converter needs to be completely replaced. Also the knock sensor is faulty. So it doesn’t shift into the final gear on the highway. And the acceleration kind of sucks. But it still runs though and will keep running

@townhall05446 2 года назад

These 05-06 ES330's are known to have an occasional hiccup on the shift, something to do with the trans programming. I've got one, it's got 175K on it, and it's fine - just the occasional funny shift when warm. Live with it, the trans is fine, just the quirky shift once in a while. Toyota and Lexus used this trans for ages, it's bulletproof mechanically. Just this series of ES's has the funky shift.

Afternoon Scotty, got a 21 Camry. Only 15k miles recently on the first drive of the day for about 10-15 minutes going from 3-4 it seems to slip/high rev up to 4k with very little gas, any idea what it could be? Once it warms up completely it goes away.

@richphero106 2 года назад

The Lexus ES from these years… reliable? Yes. Boring? Massively. My opinion, between the years 2007-2011 if it were a choice of a ES350 with the best reliability or a Acura TL/Rl and/or Infiniti G37/M35 with a little less reliability but better visual appeal, you better bet I would chose the other Japanese luxury brands.

@GhettoWagon 2 года назад

Those 3.3s used to be the SLUDGE engine too but... Only to those who never changed the oil. IF you used a good oil and changed it before 4,000 miles it was fine

@justacinnamonbun8658 2 года назад

I've had people talk all kinds of crap about Toyota engines and sludge buildup here on TY comments. Toyota engines are some of the cleanest engines the world has ever seen. This is why I tell people, yeah, check the owner's manual for the oil change interval but that's just a guideline. You HAVE to look at the oil at least once a month on the stick. I've seen brand new engines need an oil change from factory fill at 2k miles. You'll know there's a problem because your MPGs will be waaaay down and the oil will literally look like molasses. All modern engines with VERY FEW EXCEPTIONS (that have poor oil circulation by design) regardless of who makes the engine... If you look at the oil and change it when it needs to be changed (putting aside the interval) you will never have a sludge problem. Most people (especially women) are not car people and so makes sense when engines build up sludge, I've even seen practically brand new cars (2020-2021 MY) smoking out the tailpipe blue smoke. There ya go. Buy a brand new car, spend all that money just to never change the oil.

@GhettoWagon 2 года назад

@@justacinnamonbun8658 TL and already know. Guess you never worked at a Toyota dealer when these engines were being replaced under the sludge campaign. Some were real clean on the bottom too but the cams, the head was gunked which was strange. I think they changed their oil sometimes but it was cheap oil. The 2020's era cars smoking bad alot of times are direct injection issues.

@komradkolonel 2 года назад

Problems with this transmission are rare but nothing is failsafe. But then again this kind of problem is very common in almost all automatic transmissions at some point and you can drive them for many years like this. You just don't want to drive them hard. A friend of mine in high school had a 1972 Olds 88 and he had to have neutral dropped that beast 100 times. Didn't phase it. That was one solid transmission.

@jonathanmacdonald9276 2 года назад

My 2009 Toyota Yaris sedan I bought from carmax with 65k thousand miles on it has a similar issue. When ever the engine is cold, you start it up, and drive it, it doesn’t wanna downshift from 2nd- 3rd gear. The rpm’s stay high around 3thousand rpm’s or so when I’m going about 35-45 miles an hour. Once the “ cool” light turns off ( which shows it’s warmed up now) it starts downshifting fine between gears and the rpms drop. Read many other people stating the same issue about this yaris. Supposedly it’s supposed to protect the transmission by doing this until it warms up. Not sure but this yaris has been amazing and ran fine. Kanto auto works from Japan did a great job on this car. Sucks that tsunami took them out in 2011. I love my piece of history yaris

Hey Scotty BIG FAN HERE , I have an 04 Toyota Solara 3.3 v6 and mine from 2nd to 3rd slips then catches, But if i manually shift then theirs no problem ? I wonder if the trans solenoid is going bad?

@topherd1011 2 года назад

It’s possible. But not all that likely. Typically when a solenoid is messing up it will throw a code. Check to see if there are any codes stored in the transmission computer. You will need a rather sophisticated scan tool to do that. You might have to pay someone to do that. If there are no codes.. I wouldn’t change the solenoid ..but since it’s so old I WOULD drain the fluid, drop the pan, replace the filters, clean up the pan and visibly look for an abundance of metal fragments. If there are no fragments then just put it all together and put new fluid back. If there are fragments.. which I believe there will be.. make sure you clean up good, put back a mixture of mostly clean fluid with the Lucas stop slip transmission stuff Scotty talks about. Baby it and hopefully it’ll last you quite awhile longer! Hope this helps! Edit: if you’re going to have it checked for codes.. have the guy TEST all the solenoids. This can be done without taking anything apart. This way you’ll know for sure about the solenoids. It’s a pretty straight forward test..
