Tony Paterson Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 New member with interesting project. 2007 GS 450h with shortened wheel base married to '63 Corvette Sting Ray body panels. Had horrific news today that there is a major issue with transmission.reliability. A number of US cars were recalled and transmission replaced. Does this effect local cars? Project half completed. Should I anticipate disaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzle Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Im guessing if the car has been run for the last 12 years any issues should of arisen...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Paterson Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hi Bazzle, Car was running and passed standard service check at local Lexus dealer about 3 years ago. Batteries removed as per service manual. Reconnecting all the components at the back of the car will be a future adventure I'm looking forward too. Query concerns how common the transmission replacement issue is. Can get the parts from Japan if necessary, or from a local wrecker. I'm just anticipating the worst case.

ilv1004s Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 the CVT is will last as long as you look after it Looking after means doing proper flush service etc most cars with trans problems are those which havent had the proper service carried out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Paterson Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Thanks Danny, Mind now at rest. I can now concentrate on all the other problems I have made for myself with the reinstatement of the electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
