RPM Ranges

Does anyone know what the normal rpm ranges for a SC300 driving at 60 mph, 80mph and 100mph? With normal driving conditions, o/d on, no etc power?

Thanks.

I just drove the car at 60 mph, my rpms were at 3800. Does anyone know why it would be so high?

My car is a 96 sc300 auto with 55,000 miles.

Thanks.

Turn on your overdrive- Lil 'button on the side of your gear selector.

93 SC300 auto

Mine is:

70 MPH @2900RPM with OD is OFF

Is it normal? If not, how can I adjust the RPM down?

Thanks.

You want overdrive ON. Overdrive ON = 4 gears. OFF = 3 gears.

It's in the manual, too.

So you guys with auto, where do you redline in 1st? The 1st gen GS's get to 40mph. ECT power on, of course.

With the OD ON (no OD green light on the dash board)

60 MPH @ 2200 RPM
70 MPH @ 2900 RPM

Is it normal ?
