02 4runner 4wd 58,000mi. I have had this SUV for 2 yrs. Driving the vehicle around town the vehicle will not shift into highest gear when I let off the gas. For example, the car stays in 2nd or 3rd (not sure which gear) until I get to 35mph then it will kick up to next gear. If I stay at 25-30mph the vehicle stays at 3000-4000 rpms and will not kick up[. Is this a normal characteristic or is there a problem? Local shop says its a problem but the vehicle has done it since I bought it used with 45000 mi on it. Thanks.
