Tried "shifting" my RX330 today (don't worry I don't normally drive it like this), and there is a very noticeable difference between this and leaving it in Drive. The shifts were significantly quicker and crisper, and felt much snappier. Didn't even use much throttle either. In Drive they are a lot more sluggish. Could be that this car has been driven real easily its whole life and the transmission "learned" this driving style. Anyone else tried this and noticed a difference?

 

Dont wanna replace the transmission earlier than expected....LOL

Have you get the transmission TSIB done on your 330?

 

Welcome to Club Lexus!

You can reset the adaptive learning by disconnecting the battery for 15 minutes.

 

maybe true...
16.2 quarter mile to 16.15

 

TSIB? I have no idea...it's an 06 if that makes any difference. The tranny doesn't hesitate that much and is generally smooth. Only gripe is I have to give it a pretty good amount of gas before it finally decides to downshift
