So after my transmission blew Adriana sat in my driveway for the past 12 months! She finally has a new DTV transmission in her - yes I wish I did a 5spd swap but I didnt have the money for it.

She does have an issue however

Right now the o2 sensors are unplugged from their electric counterpart near the firewall. I also just did a K&N air filter mod and didnt have time to test it since then because of the transmission. anyways

Issue #1: When driving the car whenever I slow down to a stop the car begins to shake and rumble. I'm assuming it might be from too much air entering the system but I'm not sure.

Issue #2: When upshifting from 2nd into 3rd and 3rd into 4th the RPMs jump up about 650-800 rpms before finally downshifting. This happens in both tiptronic mode and in normal drive.

Any Ideas?

 

Check the MAF. It might need some cleaning.

 

i was thinking that especially since when the old trans went it was throwing oil everywhere. there was oil in all of the turbo lines and intercooler that i had to drain out. most of it has burned out but i'm giving her a good seafoam tomorrow to help clear the rest out. Still at 7psi (stock ecu) whats a good way to clean the maf?

 

with MAF cleaner - available almost right next to the sea foam at your auto parts store.

 

Electronics cleaner. You can get at any parts store. Also take the filter out and wrap in towel and bang dry

 

wait i just did the K&n mod for the maf so thats brand new...

 

Right k&n filters are covered in oil. You need to get excessive off it

 

so whatever the k&n filter comes with stock is too much and i need to wrap it in a towel to get it all out?

 

that's the basic gist

 

a blow dryer works better. you don't wanna use paper towels, you don't want to be burning paper in the engine lol
