I've read that aswell mate was hoping that's possibly all it was, but I've just drove 33 miles down the motorway and still no overdrive, unless they take a really long time to get to temperature?

Are we sure there's a problem here. It's a long time since I drove a standard Jimny but 4k @ 60 mph and 4500 at 70 mph does not seem unfeasible to me on a manual. They're designed to run at high revs but I cannot be sure that standard ones run that high and have never driven an automatic Jimny.

I was thinking that myself in all honesty, this is the first jimny I've ever drove so wasn't expecting it to be a motorway kind of car, and didn't know anyone who has owned an automatic one either to ask if it was running as it should

The auto should be at about 3000 RPM for 60 mph and 3400 RPM for 70 mph. Not being entirely stock I had to go back and check my original numbers in the Grim Jeeper website. The manuals are a bit lower geared and the numbers he gave are about right for the manual.

Output shaft speed sensor?



Not sure if your 188700 is the same code

I started out with nothing & still have most of it left

Yeah, I'm not convinced that you have a problem. I remember driving a 1999 standard manual one to Wales from Essex years ago, which I later owned for a short while and that revved so highly in 5th we only did short bursts at 70 mph. That was a manual.

I've just sat and Googled it and most car reviews for the Gen 3 Jimny say 4k rpm at 70 mph but they're in a manual, so not comparing apples with apples.

They're also driving the last iteration of the Gen 3.

Is there a third gear holding gear for you to force it to stay in 3rd and see what the revs are at 70?
