2002 auto tranny
so i picked up my IS today. i bought a used 2002 with 30K miles. i noticed right away that in low rev situations, the transmission shifts out of first very quickly, maybe around 2000 rpm. i also noticed that when i barely step on the gas, the engine responds, pauses for a quick second and then responds again. is this normal? thanks for your help.

Yes 1st gear is very short. As for that lag...it's because we have a throttle by wire system that gives that vague pedal feel and response. All normal.

In this mode, a small POWER light will show up on the dash.
One of the quirks of the IS300 throttle-by-wire system is that it can be a little jumpy starting off in first gear when cold, but when fully warm, as smooth as butter.
