Thanks so much kev, I appreciate your help. I called these two mentioned places. they said want to run a few test and then determine what it, but they will rebuild the tranny. I was told its better to get a old one from the junkyards and just replace it. what do you think?

Hey kev I meant was get a transimssion from a junk yard and have that put in, I cant afford a new one dude, LOL. I will see what it is, taking the car to the dealer tommorow to get it checked, I figured the dealer would be more reliable as compared to private tranny place.

get used transmission you are talking about $1200-$1500 I guess.
I put a used tranny on my 97 Camry 2 months ago $1200. Even though my Camry is not a V6 but I think the tranny a very close.
the used tranny is a 98, 100K miles from a local Toyota/Lexus part store and I had a guy work at Toyota did the job for me on the side.
drives ok so far.
I went to a transmission shop, the guy told me $2700 to rebuild or ~$1500 to put on a used one.

So kev I dropped the car to the lexus dealer to get it checked. one of my friend's bro works at a transmission shop, he told me my cars transmission is U140E. which is the expensive one, will cost me 3000 to rebuild. so lets see what the dealer tells me.
I didnt do anything with the rims, lol, no plans so far.

My guess is they will say you need a new tranny (remanufactured). Most dealership won't spend time fixing tranny, they will just pop a new one in it.

how many miles do you have on your Camry? I had 177K on the old tranny. I tried to list the car as is, got calls around $1000-$1500. Now with the used tranny, I can still drive it for few more years or sell it for $3K the most.
