So i have a 5AT 04 coupe. when i put it in manualmatic or whatever it is called and i floor it off the line it kinda stalls for a second before it goes. it starts to go forward slowly but doesnt really take off.. is it like this for everyone or is there something wrong?

 

tectronic and manualmatic. I don't even know where to what, i don't know...

Either way, the problem you're experiencing seems to be your transmission itself.

Error code: F41L
Malfunction: Autotragic Trans
Fix: Trade in for 6MT

 

Basically what I'm saying is. Auto trans usually lags. Unless you hear clanky, scary, unnerving noise coming from it that sounds like it's breaking itself apart, or the trans itself is slipping, not grabbing, etc. You're fine.

 

its normal. just the nature of the autotragic. you either need to put a ridiculous stall converter in it or trade it in for a 6mt. sorry dude.

 

alright thanks guys

 

I can tell you the shift from first to second should be very quick, mine is a bang when it hits second. Try doing a "drain & fill" on your trans fluid. Old burnt fluid could be the cause of your trans reaction time. You might also look into a Trans Go Kit which will allow your AT to shift faster than a MT....Gary

 

Sounds to me like you're experiencing throttle lag which is common in drive by wire vehicles. The MT cars have it also...they just don't recognize it as much because the engine needs to be revved before releasing the clutch. There are a number of fixes from inexpensive to expensive (Trans Go valve body kit). If you're planning on keeping the car Trans Go is the best fix. As Gary said once installed your AT will shift faster than a 6MT. For your general info it's tiptronic and manumatic.

 

Yeah the tiptronic has a natural lag to it.
