Thanks for the info lenore. Couple of questions...wouldn't the bad speed sensor show on the error codes? When you say swapp them, do you mean just switch the two of them and see if the symptoms remain the same? Why is flushing a bad thing to do? Thanks again.

I got the news today that my 2000 ES300 needs a new transmission. I purchased the car new, and it has about 125,000 miles on it. Only other major problem was a rear main seal replacement done by Lexus at about 74,000 miles. The problem is that once the transmission “warms up”, it’s as if it’s disengaged; the engine RPMs increase, but there is very little or no power to the drive wheels. You can move the selector between gears (park, reverse, drive) but it doesn’t seem to engage. The shop has flushed the transmission twice hoping this would help. It apparently seems to operate normally until it “warms up”… 20-30 freeway miles. No warning lights or other signals occur. Any similar experiences or thoughts? Anyone had experience with a transmission for one of the national rebuilders, such as Jasper?
