2nd gear slip in manual mode!!

Ray Knight · Oct 18, 2009, 01:10 AM

When in manual mode, When i shift into 2nd, it takes 1-3 seconds to engage the clutch. It's like on a normal manual just holding the pedal out half way for a few seconds. In auto mode, crisp strong, instant shifts in any setting (normal,sport,SS).

This happens under normal load conditions. When accellerating under wide open it's not as severe but still more so than in auto mode. Has anyone else seen this before or have any ideas what it could be? Does not seem the clutch is bad because in auto mode it engages fast and hard. It drives me crazy!

That is strange, did you have it serviced recently? Maybe had the fluids changed?

No. Tuning only. I have only 4000 miles on the car. I thought about the fluid but scrapped that theory because it shifts perfect in auto mode.

What auto mode are you in, normal, sport, or s-sport. In normal, mine does this too. In sport a bit less. In S-sport mode, it shifts pretty hard.

Makes no difference. I've tried all modes and still the same. full throttle it shifts fine. 1/4-3/4 throttle slides into 2nd for 2-3 seconds before locking.... Auto mode is always nice and crisp shifting.
