Dear Gents,
I had the car fully refurbished for a lot of money, ATF change included.
Since then I am not sure if the transmission changes to 5th gear.
Could you please advise what RPM you have at different speeds after speed is stabilized and transmission is at required gear?
In normal mode, not PWR or snow.

Like what is your RPM at 110 mph (~180km/h)?

Well I only drive 110mph on the track, and my LS isn't a track car

75-80mph is what I drive normally and car is between 1800-2100 depending on grade etc


Move your lever over to sport and manual up shift to see the indicator

Thank you for the info.
There is no indicator in LS430 between 2000 and 2003 and mine is from 2001

I'd expect it to be around 3,400 to 3,600 rpm at 110 mph?

DomeSL

Then it is fine, as it revs exactly 3600 at 110 mph.
Thank you for reassuring me.

The real issue is why are you driving 110 mph?

DomeSL

To test 5th gear as it definitely should shift to 5th gear at 110mph.
Wouldn't you think? As I have already written, the car was refurbished and I wanted to make a thorough test and that was the test drive.
Anyway I don't think your post takes us to the right direction.

Take it to 160mph and see if it goes into 6th gear.

His trans doesn't have 6th gear
