Why does third gear on my 5at feel slow? I thought that the G was supposed to pull hard in third. Whenever i race quick cars i usually pull them in first and second gear then in third they seem to get back up next to me and it feels like its not pulling hard anymore.

 

what year is your ride and how many miles you got on it?

 

i got an 04 a/t and mine is the oppisite, first gear slow, then 2nd/3rd it takes off

 

yea 3rd is where mine slows down also
i think the 6mt's pull hard in 3rd?

 

Last time I took my car to the track, I noticed that my 3rd gear pulled pretty hard. I wonder why it seems that we've all had different experiences, considering our transmissions are exactly the same... hmmm... You are talking about manumatic mode, right?

 

My third gear in manumatic mode also does not pull as hard.

mine does.... i have have an 06

 

Pull Hard, is that something like stepping on the gas hard? I guess i havent noticed i think about the environment and how i would be wasting gas for no reason. Oh then i realize i have a motorcycle which makes speeding/accelerating in the car seem pointless.

How about this. Go hop in a civic stomp the gas in third. Get in your G and stomp the gas in 3rd. Maybe you'll appreciate it a little more

 

**drum roll please**

Because the G isn't a race car!

Tah-Dah!

 

Just a side question, when you're at the 3rd gear, how fast can you go before you hit redline and the rev limiter kicks in? For myself, I can go till 125-130km/h then I have to switch to 4th. At 4th, it's slow mo and even cavalier's can catch up with me.

 

totally agree there will never be an acceleration like ours
