Initial symptom before failure - difficulty putting steering column shifter into forward gears and "clunky" rough shifting from drive gear (3rd) into automatic overdrive. Occurred periodically for 1 week prior to total failure of od. Toyota service department could not identify problem on 2 occasions in this period. Only after total failure and "idiot" light (check engine) came on was Toyota service willing to look internally, only to find metal shavings in the pan.
