thx.. I have been pouring through all sorts of posts trying to determine if this was a AWD only sit or affected all... unfortunately most don't post which type of RX they have when the tranny failed. I suspected it to be more of a AWD problem.. however, it seems the siuation is related to the shifting software so I could see how that affects 2wd as well...

looked at a clean 2002 (Build date 12/29/01) RX 300. 127k. Arizona car. 2 owner, good maintenance. tranny fluid darker, but no burnt smell at all. Just normal looking fluid after it been in a while. drives good, good shifting. My friend is 30 year Toy tech. says it is hit and miss on these trannies - you never know
really like the rx 300, fits in perfectly with the type of used car I need. while I have read the forums of all the exploding trannies in these vehicles, every single consumer guide gives the rx 300 good or above average reliability ratings. I can't believe with consumer guide ratings like that that either Lexus is paying them off, or that they didn't notice all the exploding lexus trannies
so, instead of asking and getting responses from those who have had failed trannies, how about how many who have had 200k plus miles with no problems on the tranny other than routine maintenance?
was also wondering if others may have installed an aux tranny cooler too

is this a AWD or FWD model?
