What is the reason for an automatic transmission not shifting up at 4000 RPM?
1 Answers
If an automatic transmission is running at high RPM without shifting up, it is likely an issue with the vehicle's transmission control module (TCM). You can visit a repair shop to have a technician adjust the module or replace the transmission sensor yourself. Normally, a new automatic transmission car should operate within 4000 RPM. Over time, the engine and gears may experience fatigue, causing the transmission to respond more slowly. If the engine control unit (ECU) has not been reprogrammed, the normal RPM range should remain between 3500-4000 RPM. Additional notes: The transmission's performance also depends on its structure and the current driving speed. Typically, the vehicle model, transmission structure, and engine displacement must be considered to evaluate the transmission's efficiency. However, under normal urban driving conditions, most vehicles operate within 3500-4000 RPM.
