I have a 2008 Toyota Yaris 5 door automatic. What i have experienced is the gear shifting take little while of drive after 60 when you start driving cold car (no matter summer winter if you start car and run engine couple of minutes) So after the speed reaches above 60 and goes all the way upto 80-85 i feel like it needs gear and is not shifting however after few minutes of drive it starts shifting gear at 60. Any one encountered this issue or if this is an issue really. I spoke to one guy at toyota dealership he sent me back saying the car runs on O/D for sometime.

I guess eventually you'll hit a rev limiter on the automatic. It usually doesn't take more than a minute or two for the blue light to go off, allowing the transmission to shift into overdrive. You must live right off the highway!

Replying to: dake (Jan 07, 2009 7:10 am) As to the "no shift to 4th until warmed up" that's pretty amazing. Are you sure of that? Of course the Yaris warms up so darn fast even though we live right near the freeway, my Yaris (which was a stick shift) always turned off the "blue" light before I got on the on-ramp. BTW, the blue light going off, doesn't mean the car is at full operating temperature, only that it is out of the critical "be extra cautious" zone. The way I interpreted the blue light was that while it was on, drive easier than normal, after it goes off drive normal, but give it a few miles after that before driving aggressively (more than 3/4 throttle). |

Replying to: micweb (Jan 07, 2009 9:46 am) For the no shift to fourth, I've obviously never tested it to the rev limiter. I do know it will keep it held down though up to 45 or 50 mph at least. Maybe it will force the shift above a certain RPM regardless of engine temp - but if that guy's post is correct, it sounds like it doesn't.

Replying to: dake (Jan 07, 2009 5:27 pm) Well i will try to locate that blue light on the intrument tomorrow as suggested but dont have overdrive button on my 08 haychback. I have tested driving upto 80km/h speed and RPM's goes as high as 3500 but gear doesnt shift and minimum amount of RPM's is no question here as no way RPM should go that high. Anyway going to look for that blue light on instruments tomorrow
