dj_82 Member 11 Member For: 16y 2d Posted 21/01/09 04:33 AM Share Posted 21/01/09 04:33 AM Ok. So the other day I took of at the lights in manual mode to beat a 350Z (mind you I did) but when I shifted from first to second it appeared that the gearbox delayed the shift. When I changed gears the car would have been sitting on about 5000rpm maybe a few more, but it felt as if it hit the limiter before changing gears. Needless to say I myself!! The change went through ok and the car kept its paces but to me it felt weird.Has anyone here had this happen? What is the top speed you can do it 1st gear? About 50 or 60 k’s?? When do others change from 1st to 2nd, is there an optimal range? When would you change at the track??Cheers in advance all!DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to get out of 1st quick as possible change about 4800 so it changes at 5000.. and then push it hard in 2nd + Edited 21/01/09 04:37 AM by typhoon_freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 21/01/09 05:01 AM Share Posted 21/01/09 05:01 AM Sounds like it's flaring... Does it happen in any other gear??How many km's has the box done & have you serviced it yet? If so, what fluid did you use?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj_82 Member 11 Member For: 16y 2d Posted 21/01/09 05:37 AM Author Share Posted 21/01/09 05:37 AM Nahh not that I have noticed, I have only ever noticed it in 1st gear this one time. I haven’t really gotten under it since. But only first!The car itself has 59980 k’s on it. I bought it at 57000 so I have not had a service completed on it yet. However the dealer advised me that all mechanicals where checked and cleared. Not sure if it was or not.Forgive my stupidness (I am a little tiered and not thinking straight) but when you say “flaring” do you mean miss firing in the gearbox??Cheers,DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has come up a few times of late. But did you did beat the 350Z??I'd be changing the fearbox fluid just in case.I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj_82 Member 11 Member For: 16y 2d Posted 21/01/09 06:48 AM Author Share Posted 21/01/09 06:48 AM Ahh yeah it was a private road !!In my defence the only illegal thing was the take off pace! I was at a set of lights on a 100 k zone of a highway!! So nothing too illegal Yes I did beat the 350Z on take off and to 100!! This guy thought he had it, people just don’t realise how good these cars are.But back to it, yeah I am going to speak to the mechanic about it when the service is due and have a service completed on the gearbox also. Just to be safe I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
