Re: Car seems slow in second gear..vids.

Something to take note of is before I did my pan drop I had the sloppy second gear shift. I can still make it do it if I time it right but it doesn't do it on it's own anymore. I also have the delayed reverse engagement common to the sloppy second gear shift. I've read these are a result of some sleeve or something getting worn and bleeding off pressure. I wonder if this is my problem.

I also broke out a stopwatch and did 45-65 times. Mine tend to be 3.7-3.8 seconds while Brandon's is 3.2-3.3 seconds....roughly half a second quicker

I think it's cause you don't have a rear inlay.....:th_lightbulb:
 
Re: Car seems slow in second gear..vids.

So Matt are you agreeing on the trans being worn and bleeding off pressure? It's about all I can come up with

Like Matt suggested earlier do a compression test on both cars your answer very well could lie right there. If they're very close to being the same I agree your trans has been beaten on more....
 
Re: Car seems slow in second gear..vids.

Well Austin, whatever you need me to do buddy I'll help you out, given that this compression tester device doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
 


Re: Car seems slow in second gear..vids.

I'm betting trans with the miles and trans symptoms. And plus first gear I can't tell a diff It's once it gets to second that it starts slowin down.
 
Re: Car seems slow in second gear..vids.

Ehh I'm not super worried about it. I'm fairly convinced it's the trans Brandon
