Hello young man I own 2007 tundra 5.7.lit, my mechanic drained and refilled my transmission fluid. I learned that it has about quart under filled. It made my truck delay response when I step on the gas pedal. I watched youtube then did drained and refilled my transmission. Nice and level on fluid. The truck behave like it has a new transmission. No more delay response. Yeah my wife and I also own 2016 es350, 2018 nx300, 2021 Ridgeline, and 2007 rx 350. Nice car, thanks for your video.

Nice, I have the same color. I notice ESs of that gen with our color, the rear windshield and rear windows are tinted. Wonder if that was a package thing for that color. Unfortunately when I bought mine last year, the tint was bubbling and I couldn't see out the rear window. Tried removing it and I ruined the defogger lines, I will eventually repair them. I'm wondering whether to retint, because don't want the tinters to mess up the defogger lines themselves

@ClassicChrome01

Yeah the very few other ES’s in that color I’ve seen are tinted. It could be a package, I never thought about that. It’s a pretty rare color especially with black interior. But yeah I’d want to get it retinted too but I agree that it’d be risky but I’m sure it’d probably be fine if you told them about it

I drive a 2007 Lexus ES and I love it and will never look back. I myself will never ever get rid of it but eventually get a new daily driver while never getting rid of it. Have you changed your transmission fluid at all? Honestly I’d say it’s the transmission. There shouldn’t be anything wrong I just don’t thing it’s built for that. Great video

Great video! Such a beautiful car you have. I’ve got a 2006 Avalon with the same engine and it’s amazing! I guess that delay is just the transmission it’s programmed for comfort more than quick downshifts? That would be my guess. I honestly think the 5 speed in my Avalon is more responsible than the later 6 speed. Not really comparable but my 2010 Camry 4 cylinder has the 6 speed and it’s a bit slow on kickdown.

Thank you, I appreciate it! Yes, Avalon’s are great cars. That is my guess too. I think the transmission just isn’t made for racing obviously lol. I was just curious if there was a way to change it. But it’s a nice smooth transmission so it’s not that big of a deal.

Cleaning throttle body might help with acceleration.
