mikeoshea11 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 my name is mike and i have a 1994 lexus es 300 and i'm having transmission problems. my car will not go into reverse and neutral is 1st gear on my car. Also when driving i have to let off the gas to have it shift from 1st to 2nd and the same from 2nd to 3rd.when i am driving down the road doing about 60 and put it into neutral it will actualy go into neutral. i am confused. i think it could be a clutch and a linkage problem but i'm not sure ANY HELP thank you mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillsndale Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hi Mike, It doesn't sound like a linkage problem because neutral is not next to 1st. When you are going 60mph the car should refuse to go into 1st for self preservation. Sorry I don't have any good answers for you. It may be a long shot, and I don't know when they started, but most transmissions are now computer controlled. If yours is, you can reset the computer by unhooking the battery for a few minutes. Always unhook the negative cable first, then the positive. Reattach in opposite order. Wear safety glasses whenever working with the battery. Again, I can't tell you if it is even worth trying. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
