Default Autobox when cold

Hi,just registered here.

Although this seems to be a mainly North American forum,I'm in the UK.

Wondering if you could answer this question.When cold the autobox on the IS250 changes upto 5th gear,no higher,It only changes to 6th after 5-10 mins when the car has warmed up?

That's by design. The ATF has to get to 60C before it will shift into 6th. You may not have noticed it, but it has to get to 40C before it will shift from 4th to 5th.

Thanks,I didn't think I was imagining it.I've only had the car for just over a month,it's the SE-L spec.The only things I don't have are the moon roof and the multimedia package
