Sport Mode/Manual Shift Mode question Help!!!!
I have a 2000 Lexus Gs400 and when I put it in manual shift mode(paddle shift) it doesn't go into first, is that normal??? It seems I remember one time that it did, I never really use it but I'm curious if that could be a sign of something wrong. Any input will be great. it has 170k, it has been about 60k since trans flush, thinking i need to do!
Baliztik, is correct although the cluster nevers shows "1" at a stop nor can you summon it with the buttons...the car definitely leaves from a standstill in 1st gear. So to put this into perspective, the driver doesn't control the 1-2 shift, because once underway if the driver upshifts it would go to 3rd.
The only reasoning I see behind this, say if Lexus allowed the driver to control the 1-2 shift, you could put additional stress overtime on the tranny/driveline from repeated hard launches trying to bark the tires etc..
Of course this is IMHO.
