4th gear, something wrong or normal?
Hi there,
Since I have the car, the feeling on the 4th gear is weird. When I shift on the 4th gear, after a few second, its like the car shift a second time but on the same gear(lower RPM). Its the feeling I get(like an overdrive?)
I dont think its due to a slipping transmission, but Im curious to get your opinions
Thx

I did a video 5 min ago ahah. More easy to understand with that
So, its only happen in 4th gear when I shift from the 3rd one and in manual mode. Its only happen once when I shift from the 3rd. If I stay on the 4th gear, slow down and accelerate, that not happen. That happen to random RPM, approximately after 2-5 sec I shifted from the 3rd gear. You will see on the video, the RPM and sound drop a bit but I still throttle. I can feel it a bit when I accelerate more hard but less noticable

Anyway, I think it definitely looks like torque converter nonsense. I never experienced this in my 2021 IS 350 however. Is this the AWD model or RWD? That may explain it, if there's a difference between yours and mine.

I guess you've got an exhaust? That was a deeper sound than expected.
