Hi,
Hoping someone with knowledge out there can help me through my transmission issue.
Inherited RX300 which was 'pinking' after 87k miles turns out it had not had plugs changed. As the problem got worse (i did not immediately fix issue) gearbox started to slip and became noisy in first gear!
Changed plugs, cambelt and changed oil and filters and all seeemed 'better than good' for 1,000 miles, this week lost all gears and traction and now can not find D, 2, Low but can get reverse if I rock the car to engage this?
Can not afford to change gearbox or put into dealer/ specialist without some idea of cost.
I just noticed that I seem to be able to move from N to D to 2 but not Low or Reverse without engaging shift button - does this suggest a solenoid problem rather than gearbox itself?
Any clues or comment welcome.
