Dealer or independent shop? How much? Any additional thoughts or suggestions? I am just trying to prepare for when my day comes. I'm at 106k now. Independent shop in Las Vegas. $2000. No issues in first 4,000 miles. Has warranty and I noticed another rx300 getting a new transmission before I went in. Shop been there over 10 years. I am planning to change the trans fluid every 15K miles to avoid this again.. I was doing every 30,000.

Add one more to the list of people who lost a transmission (at 111,000). Followed all maintence requirements. Mostly highway miles. First car of mine in 30 years to lose a transmission. Even my olds mini-van made it to 225,000 with no trans problems. Really bad news as it had an auxiliary trans cooler with no heavy towing. Good news is that no other significant problems as long as maintained. I replaced the trans with a rebuilt one which I hope goes another 100K or so.
