Hi all, I recently bought a 2000 XG300 with the 5 speed trans. Only 65k klms and generally drives perfectly.
The only thing that seems a little odd is when accelerating up a medium to steep hill, the trans holds on to 2nd or 3rd for longer than seems necessary. Even if I back off the throttle to encourage an up-change, it hangs on.
Is this a characteristic of this trans, or is it something that might need attention? When driving on the flat the box is quiet, smooth and changes normally.
Thanks for any input.
