And add in a gap above it, put a small air scoop to force air down through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not dropping into 2nd for quick overtaking when in per auto mode.Was cruising at 80km/h in PERFORMANCE auto (probably in 6th) when I went to overtake this car in a 100kmh zone near Cessnock.The car dropped back to what felt like 3rd with my foot flat, and I felt the revs were too low for a quick overtake. It stayed in 3rd for a good 2 seconds still with my foot planted, then suddenly slammed into second with an audible crunch, car went sideways before traction control took over.Is this the same worn clutch pack problem between my 3rd to 4th changes a redline on the track, or should I just do an oil/filter change?(I realize I am procrastinating over a full $rebuild$) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
