Need help with 300e transmission

Thanks I'll try that. I guess I should have said it runs about 2700 rpm at 60 and I thought that was way too high, is that what it is supposed to run at 60.

Please note that your car starts in 2nd gear from a stand still. So it may seem like it only has 3 gears.

If you would like to test this out, with a operating temperature engine, do a full throttle and you will notice that the car will shift to 1st and then rev up.

Or, a more safe and sane way to do this, while stopped and the brake pedal applied, move the shifter from D to 3 and then to 2, then back to 3 and then D. This tells the transmission to start in 1st. Kind of like a user override. If you do it this way make sure you put a little extra throttle so that the car does not shift to 2nd so quickly.
