Farewell

Traded our 99 RX300 for a 08 IS250AWD due to transmission problem.
It had jerkness shifting from 2nd to 3rd for a while, on Monday it just couldn't shift to 3rd gear. After the car cooled down, it was able to shift to 3rd and 4th gears but there's whine nosie from the transmission and the jerkness was more profound. I think the transmission is toast.

We had our RX300 for a little bit more than 10 years and put 124K miles on it. Only probelm before the transmission was a bad O2 sensor. The engine still going strong just the transmission....

Thanks for all the helpful info from the RX300 group, maybe I will see you guys in GX or IS fourms soon.

Please be sure to stop by the RX forums and congratulations on your purchase of an IS (something I am leaning toward in the future, though the RX will always stay put).
