Are you sure it was in 3rd gear at the beginning?

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

What speed were you at when you downshift to 3?

4.5k RPM at 60-70kph sounds like 2nd gear hmm.gif

3k RPM at the 60-70kph also sounds like 3rd gear.

Strictly based on the RPM vs speed reading, it makes more sense if it were 2-3-4 gear. But I have no explanation why would it go into 2nd gear when you shift into 3. Then again the Myvi auto gearbox is a bit weird compared to my experience with other cars.

I don't have access to my family's Myvi at the moment....can only be sure if I get the chance to test it later smile.gif
