i would like to know the max speed that 2nd gear reaches on the e shift mode in the is300..
when you start out, your in 2nd already...so exactly what happens to 1st gear??? when it is in 2nd, does it switch between 1st and 2nd for you?? of does it just go to the red line then you have to switch to 3rd??? please help me on this....thnx

When using e-shift your not telling the trans what gear to use. Your merely giving it a range of gears it can use. When in 2, you only have 1st and 2nd. When in 3, you only have 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. etc....
