Ford Transmission :: 302 Bolted Up To C6 - Car Shakes On Cold Start

I have a 302 bolted up to a c6. My problem is this. When I cold start the entire car shakes bad. After it warms up not to much. When you put a load on it holding the break it shakes bad again. I hear kind of a roaring high pitched grinding noise. You give it some gas and it evens out. Around 45 and up there's a very noticeable rotating vibration noise. I've tried numerous things and not found an answer yet. Replaces the driveshaft with a new one. Still doing it. Motor and trans mounts, still doing it. It continues to get worse, the bad shaking, vibration. Really noticeable whenever your driving and come to a stop. Shakes real bad, sounds horrible.

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Cruise Control Has Plus / Minus 2 Miles Per Hour Variance From Its Set Speed

I recently purchased a 2014 GS350 (CPO). One thing I've noticed is the cruise control has about plus/minus 2 miles per hour variance from its set speed as the car progresses over road inclines. This happens in Eco, Normal, and Sport modes.

I know +/- 2 mph doesn't sound like much, but I thought that the car would hold its set speed without much variance. Even with a manual transmission, my previous car (2006 Audi A4) kept its set speed better than the GS.

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Humming Noise Coming From Transmission After 185 Miles On Vehicle

I have a 2015 IS250 Base with TRANNY PROBLEMS

After 185 miles on the vehicle, I reported the problem to Lexus and the Tech that test drove with me said I was hearing things. Apparently there was a humming noise coming from the transmission.

The noise became evident and consistent, took it back in again, the Tech says its normal and DI engines make a lot of noise.

After six months and 2700 miles the noise became annoying, Tech said they will look into it and confirmed it is unusual. Test drove about 5 other new 2015, used 2014's and no humming noise present.

Engineers made two trips over a five week period from Cali. They changed the alternator, which at first they thought was the problem, then they started looking at the fuel pump on the engine, then they swapped out a tranny from a loaner and the noise disappeared. They took out the loaner tranny and ordered a new tranny and installed it.

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Buzzing Sound After Cold Start

Can't exactly pinpoint this yet but for sure it's very consistent. Every morning when the car is cold (and been sitting for 12 hours), when I get in the car and start, within the first 5-10 seconds, there will be a long buzzing noise coming from behind the radio or cup holder area. I don't feel anything is vibrating though. It goes on for like 2-3 seconds, then off, and usually another few seconds there will be another one or two short ones. after that everything is fine

when I leave work (warmer), I don't seem to hear anything at all.

Lexus GS 2013+ :: 2014 - At Cold Rough Shifting

I have 3,500 miles on my RWD '14 F Sport. I have been noticing since its been getting colder, that the transmission is jerky for about the first 5 miles of my morning drive. It's like that even if I let my car warm up for a minute, instead of just taking off right when I start it. It's a lot more hesitant to downshift one gear for an incline. And when it does, it's slow, sloppy and then clunks.

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Lumpy Tires When Cold - Is It Normal

ES300h, 17" rims, Dunlop SP Sports, and I'm getting a lumpy and uncomfortable ride first thing in the morning. Outside temps are 10C or lower and tire pressure is 210 kPa or 30 psi, although the tires warm up to 230 kPa or 33 psi after a few minutes.

Is it normal for all season tires to feel lumpy when cold? I don't want to pump it up higher because the tires would probably hit 36 psi when warm.

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Odd Smell Coming Through Vents After Every Cold Start

So I've been noticing this winter that pretty much after every cold start a weird smell comes through the vents. To me it smells like natural gas, like the type found in some gas heating systems. It tends to go away after about 10mins. It may have also faded in and out once or twice when the car was running for an extended period of time.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Burning Oil About 1 Quart Every 1k Miles Average After 80k Miles

My 2006 GS300 has oil burning issue after 80k miles now my odo is at 110k miles. I have changed my oil every 5000 miles, keep burning about 1 quart every 1k miles average. Literally burnt about 20 quarts of an oil with premium fuel. At 105k miles, I had replaced my bank 2 sensor 2 after the check engine light and vsc light came on, reset the code those lights came right back on.

Check the code again, found out bad cat converter between passenger side sensors. The recalls has been done at 65k miles at dealer. My questions are :

-What would be the cause of burning that much of an oil? No leaking on floor or bad smell.
-Is burnt oil causing the failure of cat converter?
-If I replace the cat, will it go bad again?

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Transmission Shifts (jerks) A Little Rougher

So I noticed that my transmission shifts (jerks) a little rougher than the 3 previous Lexi's that I had when shifting into drive or reverse when the car isnt fully warmed up. Is that "normal?" Had 2 ESes and 1 RX and while I do feel a slight lurch, the GS is a bit rough. I usually let the RPM drop to 1k before driving off on warm or cold days.

Separate incident: I recall at one point, I was going reverse, stopped, quickly shifted into drive and gave it some pedal (not full throttle) and felt a noticeable "bang" and violent lurch forward. Could that have hurt the transmission? Is the computer smart enough to prevent damage? I'm thinking this might have been the cause of it.

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Transmission Rough When Switching Gears

So I recently leased a 2015 GS 350 AWD. The car is great. Love all the features. However, for some reason I feel that the transmission is a bit I rough when it switches gears. I feel the kick. I also noticed a hang up or delay when slowing down. I am coming off a infiniti q50 and the transmission on that car was nice and smooth. Maybe I'm just too sensitive.

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Transmission Clunk When Downshifting From 2nd To 1st Gear

Heard a clunk and then have the car feel like something from the inside is trying to stop it when using the paddle shifters in manual mode. Specifically when downshifting from 2 to 1. By the way I did a slight throttle blip, I have done this before with very smooth results but this time it really scared me, I though the transmission broke for a second; when the car did what it did.

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Engine Whining Sound During Warmup Time After Cold Start

I own a 2013 ES 350 with 5000 miles.

On cold weather conditions, doing a cold start, I allow the engine to run and warm up for a minimum of 5 minutes before driving. In this time frame the engine goes thru the whining sound and then the engine noise is quiet (normal).

What do other owners allow for engine warm up time before driving.
