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.

far as i kno its fine ... the jerk from 2 - 3 is totally normal and completely repeatable

i almost always use e-shift and i've yet to have a problem

 

try driving with the traction control on off ull notice the difference.

 

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.

 

around town i put in 4th gear and leave it there... i love it!!

 

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

 

I like to keep pushing the eshift buttons until it beeps at me. Always fun....

 

really? 4th?

 

ya.. 30mph zone, 40mph. zone, and 55mph. zone.. anything past 55mph. i put back in drive or 5th
