I just had a 2001 IS300. It has multiple codes of P0500, P0753, P0768, P0758,p0763. All the a,b,c,d shift solenoids are out, with the speed sensor too. Now the problem with the gear shift is that when I put to D, the car moves in very slow response, with little torque, just sound like it was engaged in 4th moving off. Engine revs well. I had to downshift the gear **** to 2 to get back the torque to move quickly. Then I had to manually shift the **** to get to 4th gear.

The M mode is flashing when I out it to M shift, and will not shift manually on steering.

Can anyone advise me of the possible problem that I am facing? Also as I newbie owner, where in Dallas can I go for a tech to diagnose the problem? I hate to go to park place Lexus as they will charge very high just to diagnose it, not to mention the labour and parts price.

I hope to hear some expert opinions here soon. I just got the car from a friend, and would like to enjoy the joy of driving it to the max capability.

Ok, you def have a transmission issue. I am not familiar with the auto trans on these cars because i have a 5spd but it sounds like your transmissions having trouble engaging into lower gears, which is the solenoids. Now on some transmissions that is a matter of just tightening some bolts on others there could be bigger issues like having to replace them. My suggestion is to take it to a Toyota dealership, I'm not from the area but if you can get it there the maintenance will be a lot cheaper.

It is worth it to get it diagnosed properly. It will bring you peace of mind. Things like this can get very stressful. A toyota dealership will probably charge you $70 to get it diagnosed, they will be able to pin point your issue and give you the best idea for fixing it. Good luck.
