I've had my 6 speed roadster for a few months now and I'm still having a weird problem when changing up from first gear. If I take it real slow or hammer it, no problem, otheriwse the car hestitates/bogs/lurches, whatever you want to call it,and it's getting really annoying.

I'be been driving stick for over 20 years so I think I know what I'm doing. Ay ideas? Possiblemechanical problem or is it my clutch control?

 

I have an annoying hose before my blowoff valve that slips off about 1-2 times a week and when it slips off I have the same lurch problem when slowly excellerating which goes away when I put the hose back on so maybe a boost leak ( just a guess from my very limited knowledge )

 

If you are refering to the ever popular 1-2 shift, it always sucks. If you change the tranny fluid to Redline MT-90 it will be better.

 

I did the above, and the dogbone bushing from ecstuning, it helps, especially when I shift in the higher prms of 1st so I can enter second into happy ranges o boost. Personally, my car shifts terrible if it doesnt warm up first (ie let it run at least until rpms drop from the warm up idle of~1200 to about 860), if I try to drive away earlier, I cannot physically shift into second. So yeah I dont know, maintenance and warm up. Also, do you have a vac/boost gauge, I think leaky vac line can give you some unsatisfying shifts.

 

learn how to drive... lol! i kid

 

Hmmm... Lurch. You didn't ring any bells did you?

 

^heh! That's the first thing that came to my mind as well!
