A lot of people being confused with is250 gearbox, thinking that if upshift with paddle shift it should immediately shift up. It will not. Basically, you just tell car that it will be able to upshift when it wants too to go to higher gear. Mainly it just guideline for ECU, but if you want it to listen, you have to play with pedals for it to listen on what you want to do.
@@Thegooob95 rev match whenever you downshift hit the pedal one more time after one second that way you match the Rpms. It could be quicker depending on the condition of your transmission(drain and fill fluid services), but also remember it’s not gonna be as perfect as for example ISF more responsive because these transmissions have lag naturally.
@@anthonybelton-ford3124 it depends honestly I have a 2010 250 an when I’m on its ass going from like 4-5 for example it’ll take it a sec to change over to the 5th gear when in high rpm
awsome!, my 02 is300 has manual mode and it’s a very complex system, can’t go into first, won’t downshift if computer senses overrev it will upshift on its own if it senses it’s about to hit rev limit, you can trick it tho, it’s pretty cool for what it is no doubt!

Great video, you picked a specific interest to a lot of people. I own probably the nicest NZ New IS350 Luxury around, absolutely mint and faultless.My 2 cents worth, I sell Toyotas, I have also driven plenty of later model 8 speeders...same performance on par ie. 5.6 0-100 and mid 13s...however I find the 6 speed, especially on kick down, far more satisfying! These are fantastics cars. Just buy one.🤔
I'm learning a lot about my 06 is250. I had car off and decided to roll forward in neutral and found out power steering worked because it's electric. Nice

Throw it in the L gear which is 1st
You gotta turn off traction control on Lexus/Toyota to get the most performance.
The auto is250 is nice for comfort, the manual is a lot quicker but not as refined or comfortable
5:04 okay i will buy that for my first car
I got stage2 is250 last week for my first car😊
Biggest issue with Lexus trans is that it’s in consistent. One minute it shifts like a zf 8 speed another minute it’s laggy and inconsistent.
How did you rev match it? If possible could you make a tutorial on UA-cam shorts or a video, thanks
Ok, will do a video on how to revmatch Lexus IS250
@@VuckoHDplease do it
Awesome video. Do you have a link for your gear shifter knob/ball? It’s so cool.

power steering will work if the car is turned on. When the car is turned off but has the ignition on the steering wheel is extremely heavy
@@issasultan2896 Yes true on all my other cars I had. The ignition was on but not engine and the steering was easy due to electric power steering

Which is that exhaust?
But you didnt upshift while pushing down the throttle a few gears. :/
How is you’re lexus so loud at higher Rpm’s I have a 2is with a muffler delete and mine gets quiet around 3,500 rpms can someone help me out?
The microphone in this test video was placed at the rear bumper so its way louder than what I hear in the cabin. But also maybe because i removed resonator and only have custom rear silencers
Watch my Exhaust upgrade video here:
ua-cam.com/video/Puh60HAZ2v8/v-deo.html
Also manual mode or sports mode stays auto until you shift then it’s manual
Don't like the exhaust sound sounds a bit thin ..is there some with deeper tone?More like an isf deep
Then get a v8
What kind of steering wheel is that ?
It's stock but has alcantara cover. I did a video about that here:
ua-cam.com/video/bpTZMYkAf7g/v-deo.html
What if you were to use the 6th gear constantly using the highway? What would your average L/Km be?
On a flat highway my 05 IS350 gets about 10-12L/100km
IS250 at 140 km/h between 6.8 to 7.5 L @ 180 km/h between 8.5 and 10 L. Depends on how aggressive you take over and how often you have to brake.
Does it revmatch when you downshift
Sadly no
@@VuckoHD does the 8speed in the 2015 revmatch do you know ?
Does the 6 speed from the old Lexus' s shift faster than the 8 speed from the new and modern lexus'?
the old lexus of course shift slower compared to the new lexus
@@issasultan2896 that is not true because the 2007 Lexus 2is is350 6speed auto has a shorter gear ratio og 4.06 which makes it aggressive shifting in the beginning
Transmission is really slow, that one thing you have to accept driving the IS, unless you have the IS F.
and what better gearbox automatic or manual transmission?
Which transmission will be more reliable? On this car
@@МаксимМакс-т1я Both are reliable but I heard IS250's manual gearbox isn't very precise
@@VuckoHD thanks) but is it better to take an automatic one ??
@@МаксимМакс-т1я automatic is a lot more relaible, bulletproof compared to the weak manual they made for this model
Is it straight piped
No, middle resonator removed and has custom rear mufflers
how did you revmatch it?
The moment you press the paddle to downshift, blip the throttle
@@VuckoHDI don’t really know the meaning of blip the throttle. Can you explain it in more details me haha😅 when you said blip the throttle when downshifting do you mean tap the pedal or you let the pedal go fast and floor it?
@@RonDaG0at tap the throttle pedal, I am thinking about making specific video on how to revmatch in Lexus IS250
what's wrong ? it's fast as it should be. where is the concern ?
😁😎
Yeah it shifts slow boohoo who cares
