zmanfrnk Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Recently drove my 2005 Rx 330 in 4th gear for about 900 miles on interstate(65-75 mph). Did I do any damage to car other than reduction in gas mileage? Thanks.
Benjamin Tang Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 check your trans fluid and see if it's still okay.
Booyah Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Nah, you are fine, just reduced gas mileage as you stated. Driviing in 4th at that low speed 65-73 and the engine it so quite its hard to tell huh....
zmanfrnk Posted July 21, 2006 Author Posted July 21, 2006 just wondering, why were you in forth gear? After backing out of garage I shifted into 4th rather than "D". No reason, just screwed up.
Karl K Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 just wondering, why were you in forth gear? After backing out of garage I shifted into 4th rather than "D". No reason, just screwed up. You must have stopped for gas at least once. Did you screw up again after you gased up?
COZ Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 You did absolutely no damage. All you did was prevent the car from going into overdrive. The car will shift normally through all gears except 5th (overdrive). The only thing you did was burn more gas.
Kutten Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 You must have stopped for gas at least once. Did you screw up again after you gased up? Have you not stopped for gas within that 900 miles? I guess you have burned lots of gas, that's all.
