When was the last time you got a drain and refill for the transmission fluid?

Have the fluids addressed before you get into some serious repairs.
Hopefully that will resolve your issue

Hey guys…

The problem was in gear clutch, and the second problem is that when I went to Lexus dealer (in United Arab Emirates) they told me they don’t have any of needed parts. I know they are rubbish.

Well if any one knows if it is okay to buy unoriginal parts and if they are going to affect the car.

It seems like the dealer wants to replace the entire transmission. Therefore, I don’t think they will order the parts you want. If you can get convince them to do so, then good, otherwise, check out www.lexus-parts.com they will ship international, and much cheaper than others. I strongly suggest against using non-original (tijjary) parts.
