2005 Lexus LS 4dr Sedan

290-horsepower 4.3L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD

114 mi

US $2500
The transmission was hard shifting down into 1st gear when slowing down to stop. Felt like the breaks were being slammed when slowing down to stop (10mph and below). The shop replaced the transmission with a newer used unit. Problem was less noticeable but still there. Also noticed rough shifts from 2nd-3rd and 3rd-4th after the replacement. 
144000 mi Trans pan was leaking some, so Eagle just tightened up the bolts to stop the leaking. No charge.
