discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 1m 3d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 01/07/12 10:08 AM Share Posted 01/07/12 10:08 AM I've had mine refuse to shift 3 to 4 under WOT even in manual mode. Think it's slipping that causes it unfortunately, it never did it at the drags a while back and was in manual mode each time up to 4th as I crossed. Not sure if this suggestion will help or not!

It happens more often in 'D' and 'Perf' mode but still happens in manual mode occassionaly mainly 3rd to 4th and under full acceleration.Its starting to do my head in lol. Noob question for you Vevapower, what are the frictions? =/Thanks heaps for the advice guys.Cheers Edited 02/07/12 11:14 AM by brentt213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
