Hi sifu
I wanna ask,
is it normal to expect auto myvi rpm to go down twice when it just shifted to the 4th gear. For example, on 4k rpm in 3rd gear, shifted to 4th, rpm dropped to 3k, then after 1 sec, dropped to 2.5k rpm while throttle input remain the same. is this due to the overdrive or sign of tranny prob?

hi dares.
yep, super sure. that is what i have thought initially so I did make sure by downshift to 3rd manually and the car instantly downshift which is the sign that i was in 4th gear before. then rpm was holding at 4k-4.5k, if it was in second gear, by that time it will upshift dy but it didnt. So i am sure it was in 3rd gear

after that i shift to D, then what i described happened. 4k -> 3k -> 2.5k


myvi got lock up torque converter? hm.. i searched around only saw ppl mention it does not have lock up feature

60-70 IINM

The rpm i gave is estimation. I was having more concern on the pattern/behaviour at 4th gear than 3rd so did not pay full attention to that exact rpm figure at 3rd


thanks for your reply.
something new to me that myvi got lock up mechanism, even SC guys dont know what i am talking about. Mayb i asked the wrong person.

for downshift part. i did not change any throttle input. and it will cruise above 3k or 4k forever even until 5k, and the moment i hit it to D, it shifted immediately, that why i am so sure it was the 3rd gear.

Hmm.. some update..

Today i found out that RPM is not only drop at 4th gear, this also occur at 3rd gear as well. In 3rd gear, the drop is harder to notice. i could see rpm drop around 200 during my low speed cruise at 3rd gear. it always happen when you give the it a little more gas, suddenly. like 1.5k rpm accelerate a little to 2.5 like that, then hold it. I will see the rpm dropped to 2.3 or 2.2..

even lock at 3rd gear? wont that give alot of inconvenient as rpm dropped at wrong time especially stuck in heavy traffic

dont feel like doing it since still under warranty
