dgCA Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I`ve had it for 10 years. No major issues. Had the spark plugs and timing belt done last year. Everything seems to be running fine (except windows..but I don`t care about that). I hear of transmission issues on these vehicles...any comments from club members ? thx !

bama stripes Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Our '99 has 188K -- no problems so far with tranny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thmsabear Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 My 2002 RX has 157k as well. When it's below freezing if I don't let the vehicle warm up for 2-3 minutes it doesn't want to shift into 3rd gear. Although once warmed up even a little, it shifts solidly and smoothly. I have personally seen several instances of 200k without a tranny rebuild. But, if you tow anything that is a different ball game. Have you kept up with replacing the fluid? That makes a difference too. Good luck to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrodgirl70ss Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I just had to say good bye to my RX. 2000 RX300 AWD, transmission finally quit.....after 382,000 miles. The trany didn't owe me anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenore Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 that is fantastic on your tranny, mine failed at 100k miles....I would suspect a lot of highway miles on your car, which is probably the best of all scenarios for transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadyourphil Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Mine made it to 248k before the transmission died. It was a 2001. I replaced it with another 2001 with 165k. We will see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knk112 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hi I have 296,000+ miles! I had my transmission replaced at about 70,000 miles while under warranty. The issues I had; window/doors, heat works when it wants too, and the loud clicking noise from time to time. Currently I'm hearing a vibration rumble on the back right passenger tire when turning and accelerating. I'm going to get that checked out tomorrow. Other than that I hope to get 400,000!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knk112 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I also had a few 02 sensors replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.T. Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 My '99 RX just went over 225,000 miles. No tranny problems. Throwing the P0330 code for the knock sensor, so getting that fixed myself. Has a sticky right front door actuator and have replaced other O2 sensors. Just had the timing belt/water pump replaced. Still going strong!!
