Hi there everyone i would really appreciate some help with my 98 GS300
Basically when i was driving the car when i first got it all of a sudden the car stopped driving, the engine still runs perfect, revvs properly but no drive whatsoever,
First of all i had the transmission oil and filter changed but no luck,
so i purchased a new second hand gearbox form a friend which was running perfectly and had this installed by my mechanic,
but still no luck whatsoever.
The car will still not drive in any gear
does anyone have any insight whatsoever as to what could be the issue here?
thanks in advance

do you have any warning lights?
The only warning light i had was for about 10 minutes ECT PWR was flashing

Have you looked underneath to see if the prop shaft is rotating when trying to move? Need to make sure the problem is with the transmission/engine rather than the rear diff.
Hi there, thanks everyone for the replies,
I have checked to ensure that prop is not attemting to move, unfortunately no movement whatsoever so i'm left thinking it must be the box,
I purchased car privately 1 owner from new etc. so unfortunately no fallback

Thanks for the reply TigerFish!
Yep new torque converter was installed also, including all gearbox fluids flushed and changed as well as the Torque `converter having the fluids changed, prop shaft rotates freely had the car up on the ramp running in gear with someone in the car (dont call health and safety lol) and when accelerating etc no movement from the propshaft whatsoever, everything when the box was off was freely moving etc.
Really has me totally stumped, and same for my mechanics they have no idea where to go from here and say it may be an electrical issue?
any thoughts?
thanks
