HI Thunderbird2:
wouldnt it be v slow to do 2 throw action from 1st to 2nd? I might give it a try.
how about clutch? do u release clutch pedal when gear stick is in neutral?
Lexus has great aftersales service.
RX330 is in v high demand in BNE, havent see any RX330 service loan car yet.
70,000km should be a minor service, 80,000 would be a major one, and expect a huge bill for that.
Just had my 40,000km last week, (consider major),$603.69 AUD, no wheel alignment/balance upon my request, I provided engine oil meself......
but replaced many things.
