I just had the same thing happen. 2014 with just over 100k. Car was strictly maintained by Lexus dealer. Never missed a scheduled service. The repair shop I brought to for the transmission rebuild said this is common in the 2013-2015 Es350's. He said Lexus denies there is any issue with them but he has a ton of them that he has had to do rebuilds on. Buyer beware.
@@1worldundercars67 Sure thing, overall i hear they are super reliable . Even though nowadays prices are very inflated and its the worst time to buy but, I need to replace my main drive asap so i am looking online and visiting car auctions.
Sorry if you answered this in the video. What year transmission did you use ?
Engine, ac, steering rack and sway bar do not have to come out. Support the engine with a hoist or wood/metal blocks and chains.
How different would it be for a 2009?
Great Job! but.. What happened with the original transmission? Let me guess, the previous owner never changed the transmission fluid?
You got it they think is lifetime well it is but lifetime of the trans not human lifetime lol
Same thing happened to my es 350.. with only 60k on the dial.. all services were up to date. .

Why did you drop the engine for the transmission if you don't mind me asking
I needed to do the timing chain cover also
Where in jersey are you located, I need a new used tranny for my 12 ES 350
How much did this repair cost if you don't mind?
Hello sir, I am looking to buy this same exact car, would you be able to share any tips about its tranny or engine? thanks
I would just try get all previous records of maintenance performed on vehicle
