when i accelerate the gear shift keeps lagging which really ****'s me off...i jus got the car and i got it like this...is this normal and if nto is there anything i can do about it?

 

My car does that once in a while. I read that if you drain and refill ATF with new fluid, that it would help. I plan on doing this within a week or two.

 

last time frequented this forum, gordgee grounding gear was the hotness and everyone said it helped the automatic shifting a whole lot. i havent been around for a while so i dont know if things have changed.

 

Thx....do you guys happen to know whats SSV and VDC

 

- keep your car in manumatic mode
- valve body upgrade

 

lol isnt VDC .. vehicle dynamic control, otherwise known as traction control ? the first gen VQ's have about a 1000 rpm (5 ticks on meter) shift lag when going at WOT. but with the right grounding kits my friends got shortened to 200 rpm shift lag at WOT which is only 1 of the little tick marks. i was suprised that grounding kit works so well.

 

it happens in auto mode

 

Get a HR y-pipe. It helped my shift points dramatically. Also like others have said, shift in MM mode.

 

Doing the gas pedal reset procedure really helped my shift points - I drive a very short distance to work and I think it learned to drive in a granny type mode. When I did the reset the shift points were higher and crisper. Search on this site for the procedure.

 

I shift at 6k, i find that if u shift at 6k u dont get that lag or bogg the next gear always catches within a sec

 

Thx guys for ur help... theres this light thats always on in the top corner between RPM and cars temperature... it looks like this >> (.!.) <<, does anyone know what that is...i dont have the owners manual

 

I think that means your low on air

 

Sprint booster and grounding wires.

End thread.

!= TPMS

Tire pressure monitoring system, you're low on air or you're missing your TPMS in the wheels.
