Yeah, that's where I am. He's driving it while we find the best solution, so at least I don't have a gun to my head. Anyone know if using the manual shifting during this time would do anything to prolong the life? He's watched me use it on the GX and my GS430 so he's familiar using it properly.
I'd definitely get it changed. I think it would lessen the odds. Now if it's super high mileage, it could cause a problem and I don't know how Lexus would react to helpiing you out.
And the worst part is there's one new one available/being built now and won't be ready until 12/29, and that quote is $8500. They sent a quote yesterday for a rebuild at $6,000. Even wrecked trans with 60K-80K miles on them are ~$5600. Amazing. And disappointing. I've owned 3 Lexus' and...
Actually P0761 and P2714. Everything I've read indicates it needs a new transmission. Disappointing. I really think the "lifetime transmission" is questionable at best. I imagine if we flushed every 60K we wouldn't be seeing these issues.
Ugh. My mechanic (of 20 years) just scanned my son's 2011 GX 460 and it's throwing P0761 and P2114. He said it needs to go to a transmission shop (ugh again). Just reviving this thread to see if anyone has seen these two codes. My searches (here and on the google) don't show much. Thanks in...
Dude. Thanks so much for the thoughtful response. Truly appreciate it. Probably saved us a ton of money and time. Will focus on the aesthetics and the ECU tune...
Cheers.
I searched but didn't see much. My son (16) inherited my wife's GX and of course is in the process of de mommifying it. Wheels and tires were first. Much improved look. He's thinking exhaust but I was curious if a cold air intake wouldn't bump him enough. However, when googling about them...
Ignore Hunt. Don't let the 1% ruin it for you. There's an idiot in every crowd. Remember--the law of averages always applies. And I did not know that it had to be left or right for that to work. I too nomally keep mine in the middle, but I thought I was just having sporadic behavior with...
I got a wired FM modulator, a vent clip, ran the 3.5mm jack out of the vent, and love it. Click the on switch by E brake, press button 6 for 87.9, and rev up the ipod/iphone. Sound quality is more than satisfactory for me, and have had no issues in the 3 months I've been using it.
Not actually, Trunk. Finally got the 12v wire run today and got it all in place. Have the on off switch wired to the rear of the E brake. Wired the 12 v wire onto the right socket next to the ash tray, dropped the box to the left of the left vent (nice little opening there), and hid all of...
Hey Pint--Assuming you have the Nak 6 disc, you're are about where I was when I bought the truck. I yanked it, shipped it to a guy in texas who fixed it and shipped it back within a week or so. Now, I'm trying a wired FM modulator, and going to run the wire out of a vent, where I'll mount a...
I know there have been many posts on ipod interfaces, but I have an iphone 3g, and apparently peripheral elec doesn't go back to a 2000 lx with the nakamichi. I'm eyeing Amazon.com: Scosche Audio FM Modulator - Universal: Electronics which has nice reviews and the install should be simple...
good purchase. Congrats. Have a 2000 lx 470. Absolutely amazing vehicle. When maintenance is required, it won't be cheap, but it shouldn't be often. I've got 145Kish, and just put new LTX rubber on her, and she is an absolute dream to drive. I'm appreciable of the driving experience...
Bought a set of LTX for my 2000 LX a few weeks ago. Think it was $780 out the door with a $70 discount from Costco. Very impressed/pleased with the tires. Love driving on a new set. But I guess mine are 16 to your 18s?
I have the same truck (but 2000). I think if you got the running boards off and put on black sliders, and painted the wheels, you'd be where you want to be. Heck, I've read posting where the LC group wants to move TO the monochromatic look. But yes, without those two items I recommend...
