Aristo swap- no kick down/down shift
I recently purchased a GS300 with the Aristo swap - auto trans and 2jzgte big single turbo swap. I have put a few miles on it now and noticed that there is no kick down in the trans when I step on it. It goes through all the speeds ok seems to short shift tho, it will shift into other gears at about 3-4k RPM. If im cruising along and wanna get on it she wont kick down and go. I can manually shift it (no tip tronic) into 3rd only. If i select low or 2nd it doesnt do anything. I did some reading on it and sounds like possible wiring issue? I also looked around the gas pedal for any kind of switch and didnt see anything. Where should I start looking? Linkage? wiring? Thanks

So yea when im just driving along it shifts along just fine, but if im cruising lets say 55mph and I step on it, it doesnt down shift. I should note not sure if i mentioned it above, but i can put it into 3 and she will down shift into that , but I do not have low or 2 I shift into those gears on the selector and it does nothing- no response.

If you are doing over 110 it means that they are using a SLD unit. I would open the box that holds the ECU and check the wiring before anything else. Every swap that i have done has never had a problem downshifting......manually or otherwise.

Sounds good ill take a look. I had the cover off to see the work that was done in there. The wiring was pretty tidy. There is a lot of wiring in there any idea where I should look first? Or just check all connections/wires going into the ecu? I found this pin out on this forum https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...me-wiring.html I looked briefly at the gas pedal and did not see a kick down switch although it was a bit dark out, I did glance and didnt see anything just looked like a gas pedal stopper. THanks for your help.
