Default RPM Ranges
Does anyone know what the normal rpm ranges for a SC300 driving at 60 mph, 80mph and 100mph? With normal driving conditions, o/d on, no etc power?

Thanks.

I just drove the car at 60 mph, my rpms were at 3800. Does anyone know why it would be so high?

My car is a 96 sc300 auto with 55,000 miles.

Thanks.

Turn on your overdrive- Lil 'button on the side of your gear selector.

Default 93 SC300 auto
Mine is:

70 MPH @2900RPM with OD is OFF

Is it normal? If not, how can I adjust the RPM down?

Thanks.

You want overdrive ON. Overdrive ON = 4 gears. OFF = 3 gears.

It's in the manual, too.

So you guys with auto, where do you redline in 1st? The 1st gen GS's get to 40mph. ECT power on, of course.

Actually, I was wrong. I should say

With the OD ON (no OD green light on the dash board)

60 MPH @ 2200 RPM
70 MPH @ 2900 RPM

Is it normal ?
