[QUOTE="LindseyB, post: 2370169, member: 140978"] Hey guys I have a question for whoever can answer it for me. I drive a lexus rx300 and i just hit 173,000 miles. I take really good care of this car, ive had it for a long time. Just recently i noticed that when im driving, my RPM isnt resting underneath 1,000 anymore....now when i am in park it is resting in between the 1 and 2 rpm mark. I also noticed that when i am driving on the exspressway, my car used to be able to go about 70mph, just touching the 3000 rpm mark. and now, it almost hits 3000 when im only going fifty. If i continue to drive for maybe 15 minutes or so, it starts to go down and i am able to hit 50mph and have the rpm be a little above 2,000. My boyfriend said when he is driving it, it feels like it is having trouble shifting into third gear. I know nothing about cars, and im losing hours at work so im afraid something like this is going to become a big problem (money wise). All I'm really wondering is if you guys know what this is, and possibly how much something like this to fix would cost? If I havent given enough information for you to answer this question let me know and ill tell you everything else I can about my car lol. Also, someone mentioned to me that it may be low transmission fluid but i just had that topped off when i got my oil changed 4 days ago. Thanks guys any info would help. <3 i would really appreciate serious answers :) thanks [/QUOTE]
