Hi folks, my Prado will move from neutral or drive into 2nd gear without pressing the release button on the stick. Is this normal? does anyone else have this happen, is it a problem? Thanks for any insight... Mikeinbris
 
That's normal as far as I recall mate. I think there is a mechanism to stop you downshifting whilst at too high a road speed for the gear, at least for the lowest gear. I recall that you feel resistance in the lever until your road speed has dropped sufficiently.
The release button is only to stop you accidentally shifting into/out of Park or Reverse.
 
thanks for that, my driver training Suzuki Swifts wont move from D to 2 unless you press the button, even when standing still...
 
As Knicko says.... My Old Colorado, Only used Button for Park, As i remember
