Something weird struck me when I checked out the DOT's website. When comparing service bulltins on 99 and 00 rx300 models, there are about 11 posts of tranny problems for the 99 and NONE in 00. I believe the tranny is the same, but find strange that I didn't see any posts on the 00.
I hope the tranny doesn't fail as I the cost to replace is around $4000!
Any insight is appreciated.
