Okay, new 04 GS300 owner, 115k on it.
Okay, so I did search, and from what I understand I need to replace to replace a solenoid.
I am noticing a harsh shift around 2nd gear, not horrible but is worrying me, I'm getting codes p0717 and p0980.
I took it to a local mechanic and paid 532$ for him to change out the transmission fluid and do oil change. He said the transmission fluid was really dirty and it SHOULD get rid of the problem, the VSC CEL and VSC off lights are still on and its still shifting weird after several weeks of driving.
How much more money am i looking in repairs? I am super concerned about it and very worried, I diden't think it would cost me 500 dollars to get the transmission fluid changed. My dad and the mechanic both say leave it, but I am concerned that its going to be bad on the transmission.
I don\t have any mechanical experience to do it myself
Any advice really appreciated. Thank you!
