Default 1st to 2nd gear shift on Rx 330

hi all,

i noticed that when the car shifts from 1st to 2nd gear while i'm just slowly accelerating from a dead stop, it very fast that you don't notice that it is already shifted to 2nd gear!

is there a fix for this with the dealer?

Thanks...

Default the 5th gear strategy

hi,

I noticed this too...

i think the new developed Trans. is 5 speed which should deliver more tourqe. you may noticed that the 1st gear (if you try to accelerate from zero) is very low comparing to other cars..

Since the car does not have 4WD mode(on or off) they are trying to coop between a 4wheeler and an SUV.


Regards,
Saadma

I keep reading about this ECT (PWR) button. There's only an ECT SNOW button in my 2002 RX300. Am I missing something?
