I have no idea where to put this predicament I’m in with my 01 Lexus LS430. I figured this may be the best place to post this! This is my 6th Lexus. Over the years I have had nothing but good luck with the Lexus’s I’ve owned. A few have gotten over the 250,000 mile mark like my 92 LS400 and my SC 300! My most recent Lexus being the 2001 LS430! My pride and joy. Long story short, I have put my blood, sweat, tears and a lot of f*^%&/^ money into this car and it jumped timing. I assumed that since the timing jumped and my car lost power after backfiring, that my engine was toast. I ordered a JDM transmission and engine with supposedly only 45,000 to 65,000 and took a look at the “new” transmission and in the pan was a good 1.5” thick black goop. So I purchased a transmission and engine where the transmission is all fu^*ed ^. I believe I can reuse my old transmission, but it seemed as though it was slipping. I have been reimbursed for the bad tranny, not the engine. My old engine is toast, the new tranny is toast. I don’t even know if the new engine works. Where do I go from here? Has anyone ever been through this type of predicament? I also made a bad decision by hiring a long time friend that is also a backyard mechanic. He knew how to tear my whole engine and transmission out, along with my radiator, and everything else in the front end of the car! Any experienced Lexus owners or mechanics input is truly appreciated. I’m at a loss for words and money here and could use my fellow Lexus community for some support! Thanks for looking. -

[TLDR at the bottom] Hey! So, I'm a new Rx300 driver; it's my first car, and I love it! It has had it's problems, it's used and not exactly mint condition; but it still runs great and hasn't given me any serious issies, it does what I need it for and I can do my tasks comfortably. Though I do want some help; see, in my center console, the lower storage drawer is stuck half open, and no matter how hard I try, I can't get it to budge; much less find any tips online about it, which led me to making this post; and I mean, it is usable, it just bothers me that it can't close or open further. I've found where the track is, which I believe is the issue, but it's hard to get to it, and even harder to see what I'm doing; I'm sure I can do it, but I'm no mechanic, relatively I have no idea what I'm doing. TLDR: Lower console drawer is stuck, won't budge, any helpful tips? -
Thank you! Your reply confirms my thought that this must be possible since I have done this on my RX, but I could find no definitive answer through the dealership or Lexus corporate that the LC had this option. Thank you! -

Did you ever figure anything out? I have a problem where the telescopic motor plugs in. I'm finding it hard to figure out what if any other models carry the same column for a swap incase the rear receiver is trashed. (The worm drive has a decent amount of rust at the tip) -
