Thank you for coming back to me, the fluid appears to be clean and 'nice' red, not brown and burnt and the level appears to be OK too. I don't know if the filter has ever been changed but the car had full Lexus service history up to 70k miles so I was assuming what needed to be done has been done. If gearbox faults codes are read from the OBD-II connector under the driver’s side fascia, there are no faults showing. I also kind of thought Lexus auto transmissions needed nothing apart from fluid changes for the first 100k miles?

Hi, I am brand new to this forum and this is my first question. I have 2002 MY GS300 that has an issue with the autobox. The car has done 80k miles with full history, however when for example I drive up to / coast up to a speed bump then once over go to pull away from the other side the car appears to be in neutral before dropping into gear. Also if reverse slowly up a gradient the car appears to jolt or kind of 'snatch' at drive...it will not reverse smoothly...I'm after some help please because apart from this, it is a lovely car... Thanks in advance Rod B.
