RSantos Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I have brought my car for maintenance and claimed hesitations in my transmision. They test drove it and did not find any problems. I usually feel like I have to heavily :chairshot: gun my accelerator down after shifting and it feels like the engine gets a little agitated when stepping on the accelerator. This happens mostly on my first and second gear. Is it also normal that the first gear's response is shorter than most cars? I feel the agitation on the first gear when it reaches 5000 rpm and feel the need of shifting to second gear instantly when it reaches such rpm. I might be paranoid but I'd like to make sure whether or not it's problem or not. Thank you for you help.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSantos Posted August 7, 2003 Author Share Posted August 7, 2003 Hey there Rush 48! I'm a new member, I'm actually asking about my IS300. It seems like I'm in the wrong section but if you know anything about IS300s that will be helpful. Thanks man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush48 Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I don't personally own an IS300, but if your car is within two years old I would not worry. My friend has one, and because it is a 5 speed high performance car, the gear ratios will be much closer together, which translates into fast times at the track. It isn't a grocery getter vehicle that has you driving first gear from 0 to 20 and second from 20 to 35 with fourth gear for the expressway. But if you noticed a CHANGE in performance, I would look into it. Sorry I couldn't help more. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I posed a reply on another thread about the service bulletin on IS 300 E shift, not going to repeat it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
