Speaking of Funny Tranny Action,

When I floor the gas pedal in my 06 LS430, the car sort of stops and
then takes off. Why does it slow down first before taking off?

Because they wanted the LS owners to experience the full "Lexus luxury"
that ES owners have had for a few years now.

Welcome to the club. Just don't get into any situations that would
require any sort of instant response from the car. Slow and easy is how
it's supposed to work.

At least, I'm sure that's how Toyota's lawyers see it.

.it's trying to sync with your IQ.

Thanks Max - your help is deeply appreciated. Be sure to tell Lexus how
incredibly happy you are with your jerking tranny. But don't try to sue
anyone for anything after the speeding dump truck wipes you out while
you sit there pressing on your accelerator. I was wondering if it is
only my tranny or is there an adjustment or is the delay just built in
or what. So I guess it is only my car from your reply. So I will just
go in and have Lexus rebuild my tranny on your muffled reply - right?

Drive it off a cliff and put yourself out of this misery.

Sorry MC, 2002 gs300 does the same thing. Last time the dealer said they
reprogrammed the computer ... no change
