Why is my transmission shifting funny?

Asked by Dr. Shiva's May 08, 2020 at 03:03 PM about the 2006 Lexus GS 300 AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I own a 2006 Lexus GS300 with 122,000
miles and I'm having issues with the
transmission shifting funny at times and I've
done some research and I've heard some
different plausible explanations ranging
from the ECU surface mount resistors to
shift solenoids going bad. I'm leaning more
towards the solenoids going bad however is
there any way for a DIY guy to test a
solenoid? And as far as the ECU is
concerned, are the surface mount resistors
difficult to access to assess physical
damage?

Your best bet is have a pro hook it up to their diagnostic equipment. You will only be guessing at this point. Transmission work is not typically DIY.

Lexus 2001, door lock actuators / solenoid for each of (4) doors? Where can I purchase actuators for each door? Drivers, Passenger Front, Left Rear, Right Rear doors?The DLA-219 shown on most aftermarket firms is designed only for Left Rear Door...I had my skilled certified mechanic that works at Toyota Dealer Service, to verify parts and in fact each part is specific to each door and not interchangeable from left to right or front to rear doors. Lexus/Toyota new @ $280/ or $150.00 rebuilt at local shop. I was told not to buy from "Pick-a-Part" junk car yard, since high % are end-of-life and labor to remove & install is a consideration...Does anyone know of a confirmed source for aftermarket of (4) individual part item for each door? Thank You,Daniel 1 Answer
