In August 2005 I purchased a 1999 Lexus awd Rx-300 with 60,000 miles from northside Lexus in houston. On 12/4/06 the transmission failed at 73,882 miles ã‚ the vehicle would not shift into any gear. Lexus dealers had replaced the transmission fluid at 31,385 miles and 59,134 miles. An independent transmission shop rebuilt the transmission for $3896 with the following parts: torque converter, overhaul kit, all steels, front planetary, sun gear, ring gear, rear planetary, bushing kit, and bearing kit.
