Front driver CV joint re-booting using OEM re-boot kit. 3 or so pinhole leaks had developed in outer boot only, over prior 6-12 months, slowly leaking grease on wheel. |
3200 mi | During road trip, transmission suddenly not shifting past 3rd w/o going into a neutral state (revving engine in 4th). Limped in 3rd to nearest dealer (Reno), provided loaner to complete trip, transmission replaced. Something about performance solenoids. |

Leaking driver side CV joint. Replaced with best non-oem I could find (discount auto, had best reviews). Works now. Toyota design and parts reliability is terrible. They used to be great, but this 25+ year Toyota driver will be switching to a manufacturer that knows QA. |

Dealer said transmission within specs. Extensive slipping however. |
