Seems to be a structural defect in the programming (or even design) of both shifting and lockup system, leaving both 6th gear and lockup out until 120km/h, resulting in annoying high rev's & much higher fuel consumption..
Some discussed here:
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/100scool/message/11215
(only after subscription, sorry....;))
(there is a 130/140scool list in that hierarchy too, but without any listfeed)
But mostly here:
http://forum.buschtaxi.org/viewtopic.php?t=18424
http://forum.buschtaxi.org/viewtopic.php?t=18133
http://forum.buschtaxi.org/viewtopic.php?t=18436
(last 3 only in German, sorry....;))
(synopsis: neither Toyota Australia/Austria/Europe/Japan have any clue, other than being a master in ignoring client complaints, and at least one vehicle is now back at the dealer, with a 2-month deadline being set for solving the problem, or taking the vehicle back)
(a transmission expert down under stated that only massive client pressure/complaints worldwide would force Toyota in changing anything....as usual)
