Good day to all. I have a 1999 Lexus RX300 with 100,000KM on the ODO and i am hearing a humming noise comming from under the vehicle when accelerating from a dead stop. It is only heard at lower RPMs and stops once the vehicle picks up speed over 50KM/hr.
Now from what i am reading everywhere, i fear that this may be signs of a transmission problem. If anyone has any idea what this noise could be please let me know.
Also, if my transmission has to be changed- i would like to know if there are any other compatible transmissions that i could use in my vehicle????
I dont know if this makes sense but i figure if most RX300's have transmission problems, why not change to a more reliable transmission from another vehicle??
