After 30 minutes at the dealership, I got a quote for $2400, and they said it had to be done immediately or risk damaging the engine. I told them I need to think about it and let them know later in the day. One of my work colleagues's son is a mechanic specialized in Toyota, and he checked the car. Within 15 minutes, he told me that the car needed new transmission oil and only cost me $50, including service. I paid him $50 and $200 in tip. The car is running fine after the transmission oil change. What a ripoff from the car dealer service.

Dealer was probably quoting a new transmission & installation.

Let us know if the simple fix works.

Used car dealers used to have quick, cheap fixes for transmission problems tat were only temporary masks of the real issue. (Used to put sawdust in bad transmissions to disguise the problem.)

Hopefully, it was just a simple issue.
