Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: After a few weeks of feeling occasional slippage in the drive train of my 2000 rx300 (118k miles), i had my local mechanic check it out. he drove tested it, checked all fluid levels, visually inspected the transmission, transfer case, u-joints etc and couldn't find a problem. today with no further notice, the transmission fully broke - lurching, clunking, and after pulling over total slippage. i had it towed to a transmission shop where i'm waiting for an evaluation of the situation. if this had happened on a busy highway, i could have caused a severe accident, as there was no acceleration causing a very unsafe and dangerous situation. *nm
