Does Your Transmission Need Service?

One of the key components to your Lexus is the transmission, which helps send engine power to the wheels, and allows for smooth gear shifts during driving. This means if you want your Lexus to continue driving optimally, you need to get your vehicle’s transmission serviced at regular intervals. Read on with the experts here at Lexus Downtown as we take a look at when you should be booking your next transmission service.

Signs of Transmission Issues

There are a number of issues which can arise when there’s a problem with your vehicle’s transmission. Some of the most common warning signs include;

• Delays when you shift your vehicle out of park, or change gears.
• Issues with acceleration or gear slippage.
• Buzzing or grinding noises while shifting gears.
• Burning odours.
• Leaking transmission fluid.

If you notice any of these early signs, you should book your vehicle in for prompt service, so our team can investigate the issue and get it fixed before it turns into a more costly repair.

Benefits of Service

The transmission on your Lexus is an expensive component, so keeping it well maintained is a great way to save money on costly repairs and replacements. In addition to extending the life of the transmission system, regular service also helps the transmission to run smoothly for a better driving experience and overall improved engine performance.

How Often Should You Book?

Obviously, if you notice an issue, you should book in as soon as possible. If there are no obvious problems, your transmission should still be serviced once every two years, or every 50,000 km if you drive more than the average. Our service team is also happy to advise you on the best time to get any part of your Lexus serviced for optimal performance.
