konquistador Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi Guys? Need Help. I was wondering why my RX-300 doesn't start immediately after i insert the Key, It makes some starting noise for 2-3 seconds and then starts. Does it have something to do with Transmission? Even after starting the gears wont shift smoothly from Drive to Reverse etc. Have to pull it hard to change. Please let me know the resolution. Would changing the Transmission Fluid(Toyota Type IV as suggested in forum) make it better. Thanks, Kon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"..won't shift smoothly..." "have to pull it hard to change..." There is no mechanical connection whatsoever from the shift level, shifter, to the transmission, transaxle, involved in drive to reverse, just electrical. No transmission problems there, seemingly.

Clicking sound would normally indicate poor battery connections or low battery. Clicking sounds and then start would most likely be poor/corroded connections. "..won't shift smoothly..."
