national Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Like the title says..95 ES300 with 150k..runs & drives great seems to shift into all other gears fine..from what I can tell it doesnt seem to have a 2nd gear..It revs to @ 4k depending on throttle pressure then shift pretty smoothly to another gear..at first just seemed to shift high out of first & then I pulled it back in second manually after shifting & it just revs then goes to first..been told the solenoid for 1-2 shift also does 3-4 & it couldnt be a solenoid..also is a lil slow going into gear when first engaged..I have changed the throttle pressure (next to throttle body) with lil or no difference..just looking to see if maybe it could be a fix or will it be a rebuild..if no luck I guess ill just drive till it breaks as it seems to do just fine as is..would like it right but dont want to do a rebuild for what the car is actually worth & all..thanks for any info you can give me Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I can't make heads or tails of most of that post. It's too confusing. How do you know you don't have access to second? From a dead stop floor the pedal. What RPM does the engine shift out of first gear (5000-6100rpm), and what does the RPM drop to? Here is the shifting pattern of the solenoids: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
national Posted September 7, 2005 Author Share Posted September 7, 2005 Sorry I was just trying to explain as good as possible...It shifts out normally pretty high(higher than normal) @4k rpms...after the first shift I can manually pull it in second & it drop shifts like its coming from 3rd..then kinda neutrals..so I assume its going from 1st-3rd when it shifts..havent floored it to see where it shifts because I knew it shifted too high & didnt want to blow the engine waiting for it to maybe shift..hope this is explained a lil better Brian I can't make heads or tails of most of that post.

Toysrme Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 The engine redline is 6850rpm, the cut-off is 7000rpm +/-100rpm. If you blow it up I'll buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
national Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 Well you dont have to buy it..I floored it from a start & it hit about 6500-6750 & hit the rev limiter for at least 10-15 seconds & never shifted..had to let off for it to shift..during normal driving it shifts @4k & drops to 2250rpm's Thanks fo rhte chart but Im still a lil confused on it..in your opinion can one of my solenoids be bad & cause this condition & the skipping second gear? Whats my next step to go? Thanks,Brian The engine redline is 6850rpm, the cut-off is 7000rpm +/-100rpm.If you blow it up I'll buy it. ← Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 If you can change gears but not when floored i would say you have a valve clogged in you valve body, get it removed and cleaned . Then get an inline filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 1st 2.810 - 29mph @ 4500rpm 2nd 1.549 - 30mph @ 2250rpm 3rd 1 - 47mph @ 2250rpm O/D .735 - 63mph @ 2250rpm No you're fine. That's second gear. Check the transmission kick-down cable.. It may be a long way out of adjustment. It should be in the middle of the range.

national Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 Ok..well why does after it supposedly shift to second(which I thought was third) when you manually downshift to 2nd it goes to a neutral typw rev..also..it doesnt shift enough times to be going into 2nd I dont think..it seem to shift to third from first & then lockup converter & shift one more time which I assume is 4th..it runs about 2250 at 55 I think..But your mph chart does look to be right on..who knows..I did check the cable & its in the middle & I even adjusted it more tighter with lil or no difference..wish you were close to ride in it..so hard to describe it all on here..but thnaks for reading & helping out 1st 2.810 - 29mph @ 4500rpm2nd 1.549 - 30mph @ 2250rpm 3rd 1 - 47mph @ 2250rpm O/D .735 - 63mph @ 2250rpm No you're fine.

national Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 Min thing is the high shift of about 4k & dropping to 2250..(maybe not going into 2nd) seems to be a big drop to me from the lexus Ive driven before..

Toysrme Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Just check the cable. ;) 4000rpm into 2250rpm is fairly normal. About everyone uses a 2.75-3 first gear into a 1.75-1.65 second gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
national Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 No different after changing setting on cable..still high shift out of first..Also from a stop I put it in second manually & took off & it never ever shifted even driving it easy..it kinda neutraled when it was time to shift..so Im pretty sure that 2nd is not engageing..any more ideas?
