i don't know where you learned how to drive a stick, but that's not something that you have to do....if the clutch is not engaged, and the car is moving, then the rpms aren't going to drop down to idle.....you can be at 5k rpms and engage the clutch, as long as you're not on the gas.....

 

wow you guys totally misinterpretted everything....
here's a scenario... if you don't get it after this, just don't worry about it...
i'm in first, @ 3k rpm. to go second, release gas, disengage, let rpm drop to around 2k before engaging second.
takes a long time for rpm to drop, so i gotta wait....

I don't know where you learned to drive stick, but if you don't try and match your rpm before engaging, you'll race through your clutch.
maybe first to second you can half-clutch a bit, but after that it's strictly dropping the clutch at right times for me....

 

hoonee46 I think these guys are just bumping their post count and not really interested in your problem, what you are saying is clear clutch in/out who cares the issue is with the 'time taken' for the engine to reduce RPM once you take your foot off the gas right? Hope you sorted your problem out, if so can you update this post for other visitors

 

Your problem is most likely the throttle cable or throttle body. The heat may be causing some things to expand and not move as freely as they would when cold. Pressing on the throttle forces everything to move but when you let off they return under the power of a single spring.

 

Mine does the same thing...

 

From what I read its caused my the dm flywheel.

 

2003 1.8t quattro manual transmission - slow throttle return - HELP

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay it's not that bad but it takes my throttle longer than it should to decelerate between upshifts. It would be nice if it actually would drop to a synchronized RPM before I realeased the clutch on the next gear up. I am not speed shifting, and I usually shift between 3500 and 4000 depending. Any suggestions? I tried some manual TB adaptation thing by turning the key on, holding pedal to floor 5 seconds, turning key off, and letting it sit for 2 minutes before driving, but it didn't seem to help. I am new to the whole throttle by wire thing too.

Maybe this will be more clear....

Between shifts when I push in the clutch and let off the gas, say to shift from 3rd to 4th the RPMS do not drop fast enough. So when I release the clutch the engine is still revving higher than it should be and when the clutch actually engages it forces the engine to drop down about another 300 rpms to catch up to the relative speed of the gearing in the transmission. If I held in the clutch and let off the gas between shifts for maybe say 3 seconds the engine RPMS would probably match the transmission RPMs for the higher gear I just shifted into, but I don't think I should have to wait that long... Dirty throttle body maybe?

Where's the love...

Thoroughly cleaned my throttlebody today, didn't make a difference. Could it be where the actuator is attached to pedal or actuator it'self that needs lube? When releasing the pedal it pops right up bud the engine like I said befor takes too much time to drop RPM IMO.

When I had the trottle body off I checked and the throttle plate is not binding in any way and the spring is strong to close it (closes quickly)

 

hey i just wanted to let you know, i'm having the same issue in my 1990 audi 20v... you rev it up sometimes and it just slowly falls back down rather than like decelerating.... but i'm trying to figgure my issue out... i think i might have some fuel injector problems... but idk if it will cause it...
