Do you think replacement of the inverter will just cause more harm than good? I'm worried that they might damage something else doing the repair (like cause the transmission to leak). Since I have another year left of the warranty, would I be better off waiting on a replacement? Knowing my luck, they'd replace it now, and the replacement would start leaking just outside of warranty.

Did you end up doing anything with this? I have basically the same leak.

Here is the pic of mine...not sure what to do, im out of warranty 140k on a 2007.

The RX400h all wheel drive has a rear motor/generator/gearbox as well as the front drive assembly.... If you have a Front wheel drive only RX400h there is only one gearbox/transmission. See the pictures at the beginning of this thread, it shows both front and rear gear/transmission. The correct hybrid name is that the front has a CVT drive gearbox. The rear is a motor/generator/gearbox. Yes those are the correct fluid amounts with a All Wheel Drive RX400h.

Thanks Lenmor I have an AWD highlander hybrid which shares the hybrid components (from what I have read).....

So we dont really have differenetials so no 75w90 fuilds or anyting like that? Just the ATF-WS fuild?

Thanks!

Lenmore, one more follow up. I think im getting thrown off by terminology. In my manual Toyota/Lexus refers to a front and rear transaxel. In this thread and a few others I see Front Transmission and Rear Differential. On the hybrids is there really a differential? I know we dont have a transfer case. Is the breakdown as follows below? I have a 140k 2007 i just inherited from a family member that I know the fluid has never been changed.

Front Transmission - Toyota ATF WS 4qts

Rear Transmission (?) - Toyota ATF WS 2qts

Differential- do we even have one?

Thanks!

thanks!

So do our hybrid transmission have a transmission filter like the non hybrid Automatic Transmissions? I have read bad things about just doing a flush and not dropping the pan and replacing the filter, but im not sure that applies to our cars as they are the hybrid version and have CVT transmissions?
