Hello,
me and my girlfriend ar looking at a jimny from 2006.
It has a automatic gearbox which says D3
Does this jimny only have 3 gears? how does that drive on the highway?

The jimny does not have a overdrive button.

Welcome to the forum. They are 4 speed. The motorway driving is really quite relaxed compared with the manual. My Spare Jimny is auto and is much less frantic than my daily manual one.

Hi Lambert,

Ah dat sound great.
Is the fourth gear some kind of automatic overdrive?
Because the car does not have a overdrive button.

well I am more than happy with a fourth gear :-)
could almost not image that there would ony be 3 gears.

does this fourth gear needs too warm up before it would go into fourth?

No, it will select fourth gear even when cold, if you are going fast enough
