Hi guys!!
I have a 05 echo and I have noticed that when I start driving when the engines cold it seems that the transmission does not change from 3rd to 4th gear until the temp light disappears.Is this normal or should I take to a mechanic?? |

Normal. There is a lockout preventing that shift to 4th until the engine reaches temp threshold.

Yes, it's quite normal. Definitely more noticeable now that we are in winter.
I drive 800 metres of residential streets before turning onto the Princes Highway in my morning commute. This section on highway has a 70Km/h speed limit. During the cold weather, I generally have to drive maybe 500 - 800 metres of the highway before my transmission will shift into 4th. In summer, the engine has reached sufficient temperature to let the transmission go into 4th straigh away.

Thanks mate I really appreciate for the info.I bought the car halfway through the summer and didn’t notice it.Like you said it’s more noticeable when it’s winter.
