  1. i bought it from a small used car dealer in westminister, ca. It came with a 6 month warranty. I did exactly as you said as far as revving it and the tranny was toast. The dealer put in a used tranny, he says only with 35k on it and it seems to be running ok now. I dont recall what the rpms were at when i was at certain speeds before but its turning 3000 rpm at 70 mph. Is that normal?
  2. According to the maintenace book the car was last :cries: serviced at 66,000 miles at crown lexus in ontario, ca. The car was driven in so cal so i don't think it went through any heavy duty action. I went to pick up the car this morning and after about ten miles the same problem happened and I had to get towed back. I purchased the car at a used car dealership so the only warranty is through them, not Lexus. I'll keep you posted. Could the tranny be trashed after only 77k miles?
  3. Hi all, I purchased a 1999 es300 with 77k miles 3 weeks ago. Everything was fine until a couple of days ago. When exiting an off ramp the tranny surged and then quit on me. The engine would just rev if it was put in drive or reverse, it wasn't engaging. I had it towed to the dealer. They told me that they fixed it and the problem was a clogged filter. Has anyone heard of this problem? Can a clogged filter cause that problem on the tranny? I'm picking it up tommorow. Should i bring the car to Aamco to have them check it out? Any input will be appreciated.
