High RPM Problem?
My 2000 ES3000 with 76,000 miles started going to 4000 RPM while going 55 MPH consistenly. The RPMs are fine while idling. I don't think it is a transmission problem. Any suggestions on what it might me?

the engine speed is correct at idle?
when you're driving, you will notice the engine suddenly go from a lower RPM , then jump to 4,000 RPM?
do you have a blinking light on the instrumentation?
check engine light or transmission warning light(s)?

Yes the engine speed is correct at idle.
The faster I go the faster the RPM goes up.
It seems to be shifting gears smoothly,unlike other cars that I owned where u can tell it is slipping.
I checked the level of the transmission fluid, it is fine.
No instrumentation lights such as check engine etc are on(blinking).
I am stuck on this problem.

Question is, can you feel it shift into the final gear or not? If your ES isn't shifting into O/D and your O/D off light is indeed off, then we have a problem.
