Observation on the electronic AW30 trans. 900

posted by  someone claiming to be tjts1 on  Fri Mar 12 15:17 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I agree. The kick down on the 960 is very responsive. The kick down is crontroled through the throttle position sensor. I'm not a big fan of automatics but what i like about this one is the fact that I can practically shift with my tight foot. The transmission lets me control both down shifts, up shifts and the torque converter. It feels telepathic compared with some other cars I have driven. My friend who normally drives a 2001 Accord automatic also thought the transmission was very smooth. It prompted him to ask the service dept at his dealer whether there was something wrong with his car when it only had 20K miles. They said it was fine, but the Accord does seem to shift rougher with less control from the driver. Well this is a Lexus LS 400 transmison after all.
