Thanks all of you fellows! I still feel that when it was brand new i had a different gearing pattern. I'm determine to do drive test on the same car and hopefully compare the differences. Cheers

I have a little trouble here with my new Toyota Corolla Ascent 1ZZ-FE. I beleive I have. Briefly... My car, I think, doesn't run on correct RPMs (normal road condition). I have to change the gear from 1 to 2 at speed less 20km and RPM - 2800 2 to 3 at speed about 40km and RPM -3000 3 to 4 at speed 60km 4 to 5 at speed 70-80km When I run on 5th gear at about 80-90km the RPM shows 3000 and more. I've never experienced this on any other manual (same class) cars. I did my own research and inquired toyota. the least was useless. The formulas I have helped me to calculate the average theoretical figures based on toyota published for this car gear ratios. as per calculation the RPMs and speed must be different to what I have in reality. for example: 5th gear must be running in between 2300-2400 RPM The engine is always running like over accelerated! Toyota checked it and have noticed nothing. Could anyone advise me on the above. Where to look to? Cheers Vic
