Lexus_71 Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 I have a 2000 RX300 that shelled its transmission last fall. When I say shelled, I mean it went BOOM! CLANKETY! CLANKETY! CLANK! and lost everything when it shifted into I think 3rd. I fiddled with it and got it to go into 1st and drove 15 miles home. After that, it never moved again. It has about 230,000 miles on it and I am trying to decide whether to scrap it or fix it. It will cost what the car is worth to have it rebuilt, but I can get a used one for about 1/4 of that. My issue is how to get them switched out. I do not have a lift or cherry picker. I do have access to jack stands and a tractor with a front end loader. Has anyone done a DIY removal and replace without a lift? Assuming that t can be removed DIY, can it be rebuilt DIY? I am sure the answer is NO!, but I thought I would ask. I really like the idea of just replacing it and getting it driveable again. At least I could trade it in if it was back on the road. Thanks in advance for any help.
