They are two problem there. Which are 1) The engine and the transmission mount. 2) The transmission it self has an internal problem. In which can run a check on it. If it is completely bad. Or repairable. Thank you.
I meant from Park to D while other gears don't give any sound.Thanks

Hello sir. Rx300 is a reliable and very strong vehicle it is an automatic transmission type usually come with a v6 engine. The most common problem with this is an software issue with the (PCM)OR(ECU) Which is the computer control unit in which give auto technician problem when running a compterized scan on it. It take lot of time to pull out a fault code on it some time when the check engine light is on. And the check engine light don't realy come on when there is a problem . But for the well trained technician that not a problem. And for the transmission is very strong and have long lifespan. But don't go for wrong fluid. Cause it will damage it in no time. The maintanance cost is low and very ok. But know your mechanic. Thankyou

Very helpful. Thanks

my O4 Corolla will just stop when moving. Most times, this happens when I put on the AC. I've changed the fuel pump, yet the problem still persist. It started recently tho. I've had the oil changed and car serviced yet it's still stopping.

Any idea of what's could be wrong?

Can my 1998 Honda Accord (.baby boy) be scanned. I am having serious gear box issue like delay in gear selection and a slowing down effect like a drag when gear selection is taking place when I just begin accelerating but stops while in motion. I just serviced the gear box in which fibers where changed. Why is it difficult in getting good spare parts in Nigeria for vehicles especially Honda

Let me sincere too you sir repairing (gearbox) especially automatic in nigeria is a waste of time money and materials. The gearbox can not be back too a good condition again due to your complaint . I will urge too go for a repalace sir. Thank you

. I don't really advice some one to go get a nigeria used car. But if the want the car should be check by a trusted mechanic. As for the car it is well economical but it suffer from suspension problem. And for the transmission type i will urge to get an automatic one but shud be maintane by a good technician. Thank you
