E-shift Reliability
Hello,
I have an '04 IS300 w/ 60K mi. I rarely use the e-shift. When using the e-shift, I notice that it shifts faster and jerkier than when the car is in
D. I was wondering if this is bad for the tranny in the long run.
Thanks.

Thanks for your posts. I'll have more confidence and fun using the e-shift now, instead of being afraid that it will hurt the tranny.

to smooth out the shifts, many have added the Teck grounding kit
