Need Help With My 94 Es300

[toy4life]

Hi guys,

i have a 94 ES300 with 145,000 miles and i've had it for close to 2 years now. Since the day that i bought it i noticed that when the car is shifting from 1st gear to 2nd gear it takes to long. What i mean is that the RPM climbs very high to shift gear and i've noticed that if i let go of the gas pedal it shifts better. What can it be?

thanks!

The 1-2 shift is designed to shift at a higher RPM until the engine coolant is warm. It than should shift at a lower RPM. If it still continues shifting at this higher RPM after warmup, than something is not right. Maybe the shift linkage needs a slight adjustment.
