engine runs fine, I hope it is just that solenoid that failed. Not familiar with Japanese cars but it is weird that the transmission will work fine in the first 3 gears, not go into OD and need to be rebuilt. Usually if one gear goes it is a matter of few miles where the rest of the transmission will go. Like yourself I did all my own fluid changes, the dealer did perform the waterpump and timing belt change and under warranty they changed the rear main seal and the front transmission seal at about 90K. This is a CPO car. I am bringing it in to the dealer for service this afternoon. I guess I will have to keep my fingers crossed.

lenore, thanks for the reply, did your car still have the first 3 gears when your transmission failed? Also how many miles were on it and did you go to the dealer to have it replaced? Thanks Dan

Hello, Last night at the end of my 30 min ride home from work my 2002 RX300 with 120,000 on it had the check engine light come on as well as the ASC light. Then I noticed it wasn't going into OD even if I turned it on or off. Also the D light in the gear indicator on the dash is not on. I pulled the code and it is P0768. The trans has been fairly well maintained, I know the fluid and screen was changed at about 50K, 80K and 110K. Any ideas what this can be? The transmission shifts fine, it just does not shift into OD. I attached a picture of the trans showing all the solenoids, anyone know which one is setting off this code? Thanks in advance.
