Thinks for all your help, its actually from Japan I mean imported from Japan to Australia

Hi I own a 1998 RX300 AWD I bought it new and it has done 80000 miles now.

I have been having problems with the transmission so I had it rebuilt however it does not change into 4th (Overdrive) when its cold and when I shift it into manual mode the M is flashing indicating an error.

After 10mins of driving if I turn the the car off and on again the error dissapears and the car will change in the 4th gear as per normal.

Does anyone know what this error code is ??

I have changed all the fluids so this is not the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as the transmission rebuild cost me $4000 and the problem is still not fixed.

I have a similar problem, 2wd, where it likes to stick thinrd. mainly on upshift but occasionally on down.I think my problem is a 3rd a sensor of some sort. Has nothing to do with temp. (your ten mins. warm though)Yours may be the same and/or your trans fluid is to to heavy.

Heavy fluid can make things sluggish, especially when cold. If they put the wrong weight in when on rebuild that could aggravate something or cause it.

The problem just started out of the blue and then I had the transmission rebuilt so new oil and the same problem is still there.
