Shifting Problem

GayanR · January 6, 2013

Guys i have a fb14 auto, i got my transmission unit replaced while a back,latety my car shifts into gears very soon,first gear duration is normal,but it would shift 2nd to 3rd within very low rpm,and when it engages to 3rd car almost loosing the torque acceleration is very poor..it feels like a manual where you try to pick up from a stop with a high gear..the car is almost on 4th gear(over drive) at 60km/h,i'm driving these days with overdrive off because it accelerate so well with it off..does this car has a kick down cable to adjust?or is this any sensor problem?like tps? where can i get this sensor checking done around colombo?tanx

Step one would be to reset the shift points and have your ECU relearn your driving habits and adjust. It probably won't help you, but I'd start there as its a five minute process that could save you some hassle.

(To reset the automatic transmission shift points: The quickest way would be to disconnect the battery lead and pump your brakes a few times. Drive around for a bit in the manner you normally would and your shift points should reset.)
