Do GX 460's have transmission problems? Should I run away? (1 Viewer)

I didn't to my first "flush" till over 80k. At 123K, I just had it flushed again with a full service, including having the pan removed.
Unless there's been a lot of heavy towing with it, personally, I wouldn't worry about it.

Since it was a trade in, I have no way of knowing. It has been to Lexus every 5k since new but no mention of tranny service. It does have tow package but looked like all of the jumper harnesses were still in the packaging in the glove box.

I purchased mine used 7 years ago with a wee bit over 30k on it.
From what you just posted, again, personally, I think you're golden. If the price and color makes you happy, pull the trigger.

I did my first service at nearly 150k. Fluid was dark but not burnt smelling and did not have much metal in it (pretty much zero). I'm almost at 197k and the trans is just fine. I'll be doing a drain and fill soon.

I'd be MUCH more concerned about the coolant flush history than the trans at 80k-100k.

Coolant done at 67k
