Dear lexus users, i am having challenge with my gearbox. I recently replaced the gearbox of my Lexus Rx350, 2007 model, but on driving home from the mechanic workshop i realised that the vehicle wasn't moving freely. I tried forcing it to accelerate, but it was moving too slowly. After awhile it stopped moving, so i stepped out to check what was the problem and realised that the gearbox was leaking profusely. The entire ATF (Type IV) was on the ground. I was later informed that the gearbox was bad and would require a replacement. I took it back to the gearbox seller and i was required to add additional money for a replacement. After the replacement the seller insisted that they would prefer their expert to work on it or else they will not be liable for another damage to the gearbox. I agreed and allowed their mechanic to come-around and fix the gearbox. After fixing, we then tried to test the vehicle, i realised that after driving for about 5 minutes, i was having difficulty in accelerating so i sensed that the gearbox was still having a similar problem as earlier. I informed the mechanic and parked the car immediately. We realised that the gearbox was graduallly leaking, the mechanic decided to apply four (4) minutes glue to stop the leakage. Thereafter we tried driving it, but it was still moving slowly. We stopped again and checked, it was still leaking but not that serious, just drops. We checked the gauge and it was ok. So he informed me that the gearbox requires another replacement. The mechanic later left, and i tried taking it home, but it finally stopped moving along the way except for the reverse. I managed to drive home with the reverse in the night. The reverse is perfectly working. But the drives only work when the car engines cools down. That is it works for like 5-7 minutes, then it stops working. I will like to know what is the problem, is it a faulty gearbox or wrong fixing of the gearbox? Thanks.

Are you able to spot where the leak is coming from? Casing or shaft? What happened to your original gearbox? Can you describe how it started? I feel your pain man.

1. Who use a Toyota ATF Type T-IV on an 350 when the recommended ATF is type WS?
Well, call or send a whatsapp message to Lomomike 07034581213 ASAP. He'll help out.

Practically, that should not be the problem.

Those newer Toyota gearbox are almost non DIY serviceable.

That button is a recirculation button. Its used to recirculate the air inside the cabin rather than drawing air from the exterior into the interior.

Thanks Bro. I have tried my manual yet I can't find the explanation. Hmm good function for that matter

How do you get part numbers?

They're written on the part you have in the car and this number matches the parts you wish to purchase.

Eg, if you want to purchase a cooling fan module, the part number is written on the module, that same number is what you'll use to buy exact item.

Best to use the recirculation button when your ac is on, when passing a smelly area or when smoke pollution is almost chocking you(All glasses on your vehicle has to be wound fully up).

A great forum you have here for Lexus lovers must say. I use an Rx 330 2005 and somehow I recently pressed my brake and realised after that, the daylight time isn't coming on again. I kinda love the feel of it so my question: HOW DO I GET IT BACK ON!!!?

Do you mean DRL Daytime Running Light that is on when the car moves during day time?

Yes

To activate the DRL system, ensure the vehicle engine is running, the pair of Highbeam bulbs are good and the DRL fuse are good. Then, disengage the parking brake. This will automatically turn on the DRL.

Thank you! You guys are awesome. To think someone is still up at this time helping out a fella is commendable. Will try it tomorrow morning. Gracias bro

King reign formerly known as lomomike thanks for all ur contributions to the lexus thread. But seriously you are pulling my mind away from honda for a lexus next year.

I tried disengaging the parking brake but the DRL still is off. I am sure though the Highbeam bulbs are good. Wonder why it won't come on. It started on Sunday when I used the parking brake at church. Sometime I rarely do. Bummer!

Yes, it is Mark Levinson. Tell me what is even special about this mark Levinson

1Emmy:

Yes, it is Mark Levinson. Tell me what is even special about this mark Levinson

its a premium luxury sound and audiophile maker, they make JBL synthesis for toyota XLE, highlander Limited, avalon limited etc too

however, the sound the mark levinson produce are premium surround sounds and they use premium luxury materials for their cones. This results in crisp vocals, rich bass/trebble and accurate music instrument notes.

Once had similar problem. Try my style and see if it will work for you. Press eject and the cd will attempt to come out but will not, at the point when you can see a part of the trapped cd, use another cd and Jack or lift it up carefully and it will successfully eject.

Na another palava. The earlier Lexus RX330's CD tray module has a recall for such fault. Well, all I can say is give it a good slap or blow with a fist.

Guys, I got problems with my cold start switch. Cranking the engine in the morning, especially on cold mornings, is a problem. Any clues?
