GS300Rulez

Hi all I just bought a 2001 GS300 with 98k miles. I didnt notice the problem until after i bought the car. It seems like the gears are working but at 75mph + the RPM Is at 3000 driving normaly on the freeway. This seems odd to because its quite high for a V6 and its running like a 4 cylinder. Could this be my clutch are worn out? if so how much would it cost to fix? anybody having the same problem? please advise.... btw the shift is on D

do you have intake. if you have an intake i think your car should be cruising at 3k not sure. never noticed tho.

Welcome! Don't worry, that is normal due to the GS300's high gearing. By the way, you got an I6, not a V6 .

im sorry sir but unless you added one with a manual transmission swap.......you dont have a clutch! unless the gs's with the e-shift have some automatic form of a clutch that im not aware of...........

We have clutch packs in our transmission. we just can't control it with a clutch pedal

all cars have intakes, but if you mean aftermarket, it still dosen't matter. There is no way that would have any effect on engine revolutions vs speed

I just don't understand how people drive their cars and don't even know what kind of engine they have I see many times ads on eBay and craigslist, that say M3 S54 is a 3.2 V6

Any auto tranny has lock-up clutch

i see... dang that's good news then I thought I have to repair the transmission and it's probbably not going to be cheap... But then damn that suck, such a high RPM on the freeway = burns alot of gas. Now I could save that money to change the TIMING Belt and water pump

Or you could have gotten a GS4 and get about the same mileage 75mph is right around 2500rpm for us.
