No, not jus in higher gears but in all gears. It`s most noticeabie in first, second and third. But it does it in forht and fifth and only under load. After the first tune, I took it straight back complaining about a suge and the tuner thought he had smoothed it out, but it`s only noticeable on the street and not the dyno. (Mind you the tuner was a very respectable Sydney tuner). I rang him again and he mentioned to me that some of thses 6T`s have had this problem and left it at that. . . Since then I`ve added a cooler and about to add injectors and pump. I`m gonna get it re-tuned and see what happens. . . . Maybe I`ll try another tuner.
