First and foremost i'd stay STOP doing neutral drops as that is VERY bad for your tranny. I'd go with break-torquing instead, Granted they both have adverse effects on specific parts of the tranny, but brake-torqueing will start to shred your torque converter while Neutral dropping will start to shred your tranny. I personally feel and from experiences on friends cars (as i tend to stay away from auto trannies MT FTMFW BISHES! lol) brake-torqueing is less damaging, mainly because you could basically lose your trannie from a single bad timed neutral drop. also more rpms doesnt mean jack, although it's ideal but if u can't get any traction i'd take the couple fraction of seconds loss and get going instead of spinning our for 2 seconds lol

 

Thanks for the advices guys. I had wanted a 6MT too, but at the time I purchased her, there weren't any around my area tho. Those are rare!

 

Everyone says they wish they got a 6mt, but I am so glad I didn't. This is my DD, too much work.

 

for people that travel to work using highways everyday, 6mt just doesnt cut it for stop and go traffic

 

Would you pre-load your converter to 3500? I'm pretty sure your tires would start spinning before you got to that point, which our cars won't let us do due to the traction control. I've never driven an automatic G before, so I really wouldn't know. So correct me if I'm wront.

 

I'm very interested in this thread because i have the same problem as OP. lol 5AT and spinning at launch. what i do is i leave it in tiptronic, and slam on the gas pedal once it's time to go, slip light would go on for at least two seconds then the car would start to jet off. =[ i feel like i need to ease in on the gas and gradually go in deeper. any opinion would be highly appreciated

 

TRUST ME WHEN I SAY.... Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta!!!

I LOVE MINE

 

So basically you leave the vdc on. But does that hurt your time tho? I really wonder how super cars like bugatti veyron can do 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. It would take at least a second to spin the tires already lol. As far as I know, the M3 has both burn-out mode and launch mode. I wish our cars have that option too

 

Where's the video dude? Do you have any mods? At what temperature did you launch?

 

no video today... class all day man... tomorrow for sure - weather permitting

no engine mods as ive only had my g for a few months... spent all $ on exterior

 

don't launch it!!

 

Patience FTW

 

So wat about in a 6mt i rev it up to around 2.5 and that still spins to much...???

 

im almost positive that ur tires are too cold

 

VDC off
floor break and gass in tip
shift at 7000-7200rpm
ur good to go

If ur still having problems it has to be the cold tires
