Completely forgot my bad. Well, I have to wait for the car to come back from the shop. Its been quite a few thousand miles since the last service and I'm sorta paying for it now. Something may be wrong with the transmission since it wont shift correctly anymore

Had to replace my transmission at around 180k too, played fast and loose with the timing belt and it broke on me. $800 job quickly became a $4,000 job

I did it though, got an engine with 60k on it... July 2008. Now I'm up to 230k miles w/o a problem.

About $5k for me since I was doing the 150k service as well. I'm hoping with this new transmission she'll run for a very long time

Most of the mods/restorations were done in preparation of my sister taking it to UCLA. Everyone hates going in my car (Camry) now that its so low so I think it would be better to leave it stock height. That and being my sister, asian, and asian should be reason enough to leave it if you get my drift LOL

For sure. Just got to wait till sister comes home with it. We got it back from Lexus a week after we took it in for its transmission transplant on Friday night and it was gone Saturday morning

HS loaner we took was horridly slow I got to say
