#61 of 4944 Do you see the transmission shift? by blackcamry May 19, 2006 (9:19 pm)
Wondering if we, camry owners, can actually see the transmission shifting from 1 to 6?

Replying to: corton (May 19, 2006 7:39 pm) In regards to gripe #5, try turning up the level of bass if you want the stereo to go boom-boom. Seriously, the new JBL setup, IMHO, is a dramatic improvement over the stereo in my 2005 SE.   ...also very surprise you don't like to stereo backlighting at night...might be just a little bright but it sure is nice...one of my favorite features of the car, along with my daily greeting "Welcome to Camry".

Replying to: corton (May 19, 2006 7:39 pm) I have a Japanese made car with a similar VIN 0030XX & also a V6 but LE. It has the JBL upgrade. The following are my 2 cents worth on issues you mention.   Transmission - I keep watching because of the press releases: Up-Shifting. On light acceleration, I don't ever see anything much over 2K RPM. The shifting seems very smooth regardless of whether the car has been setting for a while or not. I think if I had a problem like yours with a 4K RPM on light acceleration, I would go back to the dealer. Downshifting is a differnt story. Not a big issue for me at this point... but I have noticed some unevenuess from 3rd to 2nd when completely letting off the accelerator... such as preparing for a turn or slowing for a traffic.   JBL Radio - Kind of miss my old Pontiac radio. However, I have found that adjusting the fade and balance helps. I am wonder if Toyota designed the sound system for the middle of the car...where no-one sits. When Fade and Balance are at 0. The sound seems very monotone and tinny to me. I noticed when sitting in the drivers seat, it appears sound is coming mainly from the front left driver speaker. The door speakers sound terrible. Almost like woofers. But the speakers in back seem pretty good. So I set Balance to R3 (slight stronger Right speaker) and Fade to R3 (Slightly stronger Back speakers). That seems to provide better stereo between the two up front speakers and better use of the back speakers. I keep the bass down because of distortation from the door speakers. If you have 3 other passengers, not sure if this helps much. I guess the point is that fade and balance may help the situtation. At least in my case it did.   Glovebox Gap Problem. Interesting note. I have the same issue. But to be honest, I can't see it from the driver side and only noticed it when you pointed it out. The gap I have is noticeable only if you look for it. But I don't consider it worth trying to fix.
#65 of 4944 Idle at 1500 rpm? Is it normal? by blackcamry May 21, 2006 (7:44 pm)
Is it normal - engine idle at 1500 rpm...it's kind of loud at idle and when the gear move to R or D (without moving), rpm at 750? Should I concern about it? Can I have it adjusted? Replies to this message: ray_h1 (May 21, 2006 10:47 pm) supergoop (May 22, 2006 2:25 am)

Replying to: blackcamry (May 21, 2006 7:44 pm) 1,500 rpm when started cold is not at all unusual. The engine management computer is programmed to run a fast idle initially to aid warm-up and overcome the parasitic losses of pumping cold (thick) motor oil to all parts of the engine as quickly as possible. Additionally a fast cold idle helps the catalytic converter warm up more quickly to oxidize unburned fuel. However, if your engine is idling that fast in "Neutral" after the engine heats up to normal operating temperature, then something's not right.

Replying to: blackcamry (May 21, 2006 7:44 pm) From a cold start, my XLE V6 idles in Park at ~1,500 rpm and drops about 100 rpm every 15 seconds. In about 1 minute, it idles at ~1,000 rpm. When I stift to R, or D, it idles at ~750 rpm. Outside temp is ~10 celsius (50 F).   I agree that if you are idling at 1,500 when the engine is warm, then there is something wrong.
#68 of 4944 Higher RPM between third and fourth gear by humbhidesi May 22, 2006 (6:35 pm)
I have the following problems with my 2007 Toyota Camry LE 4CYL (AUTO)RPM   1)Engine idle at 1500 rpm...it's kind of loud at idle and when the gear move to R or D (without moving), rpm at 750   2) When I am between 45 and 55 MPH, then RPM suddenly climbs to 2600 and then drops to 1800.   3) Could it be a shifting problem   Should I be concerned about these? The pick up is so slow. It doesn't feel that am driving a 154HP engine. Can I have this adjusted   I see the following post from user judas1   Shifting from 4th to 5th (I think, could have been 3rd to 4th) they'll lurch and the engine will momentarily climb a hundred RPM or so, then it will shift. The tech said they had another one that was doing the same thing, he checked both and the tranny temp sensor is bad and reading something like 1200 degrees, and that is apparently screwing up the computer that controls the shifting.

Replying to: humbhidesi (May 22, 2006 6:35 pm) When a vehicle gets to the upper end of a gear range the engine will turn more rpms rather quickly; when the transmission shifts, especially between fourth and fifth, you are likely to see a dramatic drop in the rpms.   I am not an expert in any area so someone with expertise in the area may want to clarify what I stated.

#70 of 4944 transmission shifting problem (part 2) by corton May 24, 2006 (5:47 pm)
I reported the transmission shifting problem that I was experiencing to my dealer and after having the car for the day while they checked, tested and spoke with Toyota corporate technicians, they have decided that my car needs a new valve body in the transmission and want to involve a regional tech/manager type person in the repair process. It does not sound to me like they really know what is causing the problem and want to try replacing the valve body first.   Not to mention that they replaced parts in my dash to attempt to correct the ill-fitting plastic in the passenger side dash area above the glovebox and it looks just as bad now as when they started.   So right now I'm a pretty unhappy 2007 Camry XLE V6 owner. My car is Japanese built (March 2006)and the last 6 digits of the VIN are 003559.   AARGH!!!
