Fluid level is perfect and I’ve never touched the 2nd start switch.
Same year. 2004 with 94,000 miles verified on car fax.
Elaborate on what you mean by “it won’t go into 1st and 2nd gears.” The shifter won’t move to the 2-L location, or when you’re driving the trans is not using 1st or 2nd?
When I start driving as engine revs up it engages in a slower gear as speed increases it stays on that gear until it gets to 4th gear and then 5th. When it gets to 4th and 5th it’s going at the proper speed.
Original transmission slipped at higher gears.
Did you replace the torque converter when swapping trans?
Used transmission came with a torque converter.
Have the carfax for the 2004 lx 470 from the 1st owner that own it almost all the way till the accident with all the maintenance records. The second owner owned it just a few months and he wrecked it. Fluids were topped at the correct temp at a Lexus dealership.
Post a video. By your description, it seems the transmission is acting normal.
I accelerate and car does NOT go into 1st or 2nd gear instead it starts on 3rd gear then 4th and 5th gear work perfectly at the proper speed.
p0771 Soleniod E
Probably a lot *less common* than what’s reported on here. Nevertheless, MaxdOut has a 2004...
Not sure why you did not report P0771 in OP, or when I asked.
I do recall a few reports of what "mud guys believed a defect", in the early 343 (98-02) IIRC pre May 2000 MFD. The biggest issue with the 750 (03-07). Was under filled from the factory. It was also believed a vent tube was allowing water in. But that may have been low fluid also.
I'll assume this is the donner transmission. A server wreck can cause damage to moving parts, dislodge connecting, etc. even those not directly impact. Was transmission pan pulled and inspection done?
