Gear ratio problem

SoL:
Ok i'll bring it up for my next servicing, about 3k km more.

NSman:
btw, your case might be diif from mine... so you still need to monitor your issue, best is to check wif ur mech or TCM

I have sure similar case b4.. rev to 3k but speed at 60km/h nia... very very strange... off engine for 30mins & restart, back to normal... go to replace my batt (2yrs liao) now everything is fine

Actually IMHO I cannot relate how its got to do with battery since engine already running, power will supply via the "alternator" or some engine driven electrical component

Mine is abt 1yr plus old, notice this issue since quite sometime back. I've mentioned in some post that if your engine is sufficiently warmed up, you can have normal performance. However, if engine is insufficiently warmed up, esp on a cold day, your initial drive will feel sluggish, and reving hard will somewhat not deliver the kind of torque u hoped for, but once the engine cool light goes off, your car is feeling normal again

Suggest this, upon starting up, let it idle for half a minute or so,  leave the gear at P before driving off, while at P, during a cold start, the car will autoamtically rev the engine at idle in excess of 1K rpm. However after a few seconds, u will notice it starts to wind down a little.

When U drive straight off from a cold start, just be gentle and patience, the engine and torque will perform as normal when sufficiently warmed, else u be wasting petrol

NSman:
Yes, you are right, there might be nothing related to the weak battery. I find it very strange too. was panic when i got these problem... 1st in my mind is to change my battery, are i knew is weak already

from your post, is very true that problem cause due to cold engine with insufficient warm up.  now i have a habit of let the engine run for 30 sec before move off....

liewks:
I'm not sure if this is what happens, but all A/T cars are equipped with temperature sensors in the transmission. The transmissions are programmed to avoid torque converter lockup until a certain temperature is achieved. I've never understood why except to guess that somehow torque converter lock up requires the transmission fluid to achieve a certain target viscosity to avoid excess wear on the lockup clutch.

I used to drive a 4AT Sunny and it would refuse to lock-up until after about 5 mins on the highway in the mornings, after a cold start. Then the RPM's would settle down to about 2k for 70km/h (I may be remembering wrongly).
