What kind of crap is that? My car will not engage first unless i come to a complete stop and wait 1 sec. If i come to a complete stop and hit it right away like i usually do, it slams. Or I have to force it into 1st and it slams again. I absolutely hate this transmission, makes the car feel so lazy.

The automatic is in C-mode (comfort). Push the button left of the gearknob labeled C/S/M until you are in S-Mode (Sport). You see it in the dashboard right of the total miles. In case you switch to M-mode: This stands for manual and you HAVE to shift.

I told you get your lexus back. I drove that lexus for a month and I absolutely think that gear box was total junk. Hard shifts all at the wrong time and extremely rough downshifting.

All 7g cars do this. See you can either have the car go bump into first every time OR you can deal with second gear starts if you dont like stopping all the way! Or put your big foot to the floor and you will get first.

Its only about 20 more months with that puppy so dont worry about it. Go take it out on your friday night and have fun instead.

wtf did u purposely search for this thread?

try switching it into sport mode instead of comfort mode, comfort mode usually keeps the car in a higher gear

Kar don

never in comfort mode. Always in sport.

Powerchip it. The bump in torque will satisfy you even when starting in 2nd. And when you decide to bump it into first anyway, it'll launch pretty damn strong. Loving this car after the tune.
