wato Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 So the missus comes home and says theres something wrong with the car when she brakes. I take it for a drive , shifts fine, but when you brake slowly coming to a stop, at about 10kph theres a sudden clunk twice and the car stops very quickly without any further pressure on the brakes. Also the engine icon light has come on as has the red triangle exclamation mark, AND the check vsc light. Im fearing the transmission has had it. Any thoughts people? Its done just over 160,000k. Im in sydney as well, Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wato Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Im guessing my first step would be ringing a lexus service centre and getting them to give me their prognosis. Any alternative suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilv1004s Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) need to check codes but it sounds like gearbox solonoids a service wont fix it you need to replace the gearbox once the vsc light comes on and car tricks to codes theres really no turning back for that gearbox the key is preventitive maintanence if your in sydney bring it over and i can have a look at the car for u but gearbox replacement inc labour supplied and fitted with a full service is 2800 Edited December 31, 2020 by ilv1004s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
