JDPSPAN Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 hello, this is for whoever can help. my member name is JDPSPAN. I have a 93 es300 that has recently started to give serious problems. For starters, i kept having to put powersteering fluid in becuz after like 2 days it would all leak out. next the car would overheat after driving it for awhile. to me it seems some kinda way,the powersteering pump or lines from it, interacts with the cooling of the engine, via the fan, i dont really know.after all this occurs the other day, im driving an as i was,the gas pedal went unresponsive as i pressed it. it would rev, but no movement NOW im thinking my trans is going out, i dont know, when i would cut the car off an let it cool down, i could start it an it would drive normal,then after goin a few blocks it would act up again. i could really use someone who can tell me exactly what to do,becuz im about to put this car in the shop an spend alot of money on probably something i dont need done. i was jus going to get the whole trans redone,including the powersteering problem. If whoever can respond to me ASAP,I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT! HELP,HELP,HELP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk_on_blk Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Transmissions can be finicky, and if you don't have a clear understanding of what is causing the problem, then what you need to do is find the most qualified and reputable shop you can. Go in for a 'diagnostic'... don't just tell them to rebuild the whole tranny. A talented mechanic will diagnose the problem(s) correctly, and from there you can make an educated decision of how to proceed. A good mechanic is a valued asset! (conversely, a bad mechanic is a nightmare... finding a good mechanic/shop is effort well spent). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
