Hi. Im posting this up for Adam (cheffstagea) as he is currently at work and will be till late-as hes a cheff duh! So he was hoping to have some replies when he gets home.

He says his sereis 2 stagea is having the following issues:

It does not not drop gears when planted.

It feels like its taking off in 2nd.

A/T light flashes 15 times on startup.

In tiptronic mode 1 and 2 still have the sluggish feel.

Also feels like the clutch might be skipping.

He also tells me that the fluids seem to be fine and Yes he's checked the attessa resivoir.

Any one have anyideas?

Thanks in advance.

I'd say start with the simple things first, like check the level and condition of the A/T fluid. Make sure there's enough in there, and make sure it's the right colour.

Beyond that, maybe try reset the ECU?

Sorry I can't be of more help, I'm not much chop with Auto boxes.

check the snow switch on the console the missus keeps knocking it in ours and its as sluggish as ie takes off in second etc

what would your missus be doing in chef stagea's car? :D

Nice call hahaha....

Cheff and I both agree their is alot of room in the back of the stags.... I seem to think the majority of stag drivers have familys and are older than cheff and I 18.... So your missus is sort of out of the question, but your daughters.... We'll leave it their :) haha

got home eventualy! so the at light goes on as usual when u start up. just like airbag etc comes on n shortly after they all go away. exept the at light goes on for bout 2 sec then 15 flashes follow it. it wont go into 1st or 4th. seems like the thing that tells it to change has gone to sleep. what do i do :S all those pages ment nothing to me :$ and im ment to b running a stag cruise on sat!! HELP i thaught it might be snow switch but its not. 2nd intercooler pipe fell off.. not that either. in trip tronic i cant select ANY gears. the only way to choose 2nd or 3rd is the actual place on the gear stick. and when its in D its just the same as 3rd (no jolt to indicate a shift or revs dont change) reverse seems to b fine btw. and also is it safe to drive at all :S i limped home but duno if im keen on that to often chers guys

btw fluid is full, and a slightly transperint yellowish colour :S this normal? and re setting the ecu. battery off. break a few times? will that do it?

      I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies.

      It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks!

      It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
