"Good car until trans went out"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Transmission just went out at 93,000.

General comments?

Transmission just went out at 93,000. Like other comments I've read, the dealer quoted me $4,000. They told me they don't usually do transmission work at the dealership, which leads me to believe they're the middle man in this and send the car out to a transmission body shop. Also, the tow truck dragged my car onto the flatbed tow truck since the car wouldn't shift into neutral. Wonder what kind of damage that does to the car. Other transmission places quoted me 1800-2200. Not the $4k Lexus quoted me. They're ripping us off.

I am In Scotland, I have a 2001 RX300 fantastic car until the trans went at 90k miles, I run the car on LPG with no problems for two years then all went wrong, had to replace all plugs and coil packs, runs OK on petrol, but rough on LPG the computer analyser says random misfires! the dealer is stumped has no clue what to do next apart from replacing the ECU. Has anyone had similar problems any comments appreciated, still the best drive around!!
