does any1 know where the torque converter is on the gearbox ? is it in the bell housing or in the actual gearbox ?

does it need changing ?

please help

thanks pete

i've had a burning smell coming in the cab from what i thought was the exhaust (had it changed),

then relised it was the gearbox, booked in to have the tranny oil changed along with the cambelt.......... then low and behold it wont engage in gear (slipped a bit just before)

any suggestions on how to check the tranny oil ?

whats happened?

where to start to getting it fixed /cost?

all help very appreciated

thanks

I can't believe it is broke, don't think there has ever been a Lexus gearbox that has failed, I could be wrong...........Take it to a garage and change the gearbox oil. What's the mileage, has it been changed before?

its a 96 plate with 146k on the clock i don't know whether its been changed before but i shall give your suggestion of changing the oil a try i have just checked the dipper and it doesn't appear to have any oil left in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

where did it all go??/??

thanks for your replies i've checked the dipstick (i never noticed it before)

it looked pretty dry and very low

how / where can you fill it up ?

nise motor buy the way how did you get those wheels so polished by the way1 back to the speakers though , everything seems connected ,but there is no sound comin from the passenger side door tweeters or mids i'm thinkin there's gotta be a brake in the wire some where . what do you think?
