This delayed shift when its cold stuff is really getting on my nerves.I know why it does this,but I wonder if the dealer (Toyota or Lexus) could disable this practice?? any one have any idea?

Just push the gas to the floor. I bet that would solve the issue once in for all!

It's only a PITA during the winter when it takes a while to get to the second temp marker. In the summer, it either never kicks in,or takes about 1 miles of driving and you're warmed up.
For me, no problems... have gotten use to it.

No, but that was me pissing and moaning at Daniels BMW when I went to get a new windshield washer hose connector for my daughter's 530i. "The plastic hose connectors aren't available separately; all we have is the complete fluid/electrical harness for $75".............
When will I learn!!!

A few years ago when I had the delayed cold shift issue on my 99 rx300 awd.
The local Lexus dealer said I have the better transmission in the 99 and it was normal.
I clean the MAF sensor, it was dirty (50,000 miles). (see the threads on doing this)
Now shifts normal like it is suppose to! Plus a boost in performance & gas mileage as well.
