Stag Feels Slagish On Take Off

[southern_tango]

From a couple of days on,the stag been feeling a little slow when I accelerate from a complete stop,it feels like it takes a couple of secs.then the revs go up ,the turbo starts to boost an everything goes normal ,until next stop...

Anybody had suffer that before???Any idea or info is welcome...

[StageaTypeS]

Is it a slipping clutch maybe?

[Stagea_Neo]

ditto.

manual - slipping clutch

auto - bands need adjusting / need a service with new trans fluid

worst case, the torque converter is on its way out.

.........

to add some humour 'slagish', does it spit a lot of slag at other cars

i know you mean 'sluggish'

[southern_tango]

Ok...sorry for my mistake...my car is a bit slug going out the lights...it's auto,and took it for a ride on tiptronic..all felt ok...

BTW where are you in the Se Burbs,Stagea _Neo?Good to see more stags in this side of the planet

Do the series 2's have a cable throttle body or drive by wire?

I have a similar issue with the M35, the ecu isnt giving me full throttle at low revs, it opens fully at around 3000 revs. I am planning a manual throttle conversion, I just hope the ecu doesnt get upset.

Scooty - mine is the same ever since the highflow was put back in. Notice it quite a bit - especially when cold! Hit 3,000 and it is a treat

Is it in snow mode?

[kidafa]

trans in limp mode maybe?

restet ecu and check fault codes?

[KiwiRS4T]

Are you using a boost controller? If not try bypassing the solenoid with the ten minute boost mod (post #40):

Or a new set of copper plugs

[Stagea_Neo]

Yep in the se burbs, near the burv.

Apparently there's a silver s1 or s2 near nunna swimming pools, my mates keep thinking its me . Other than that, black s2 down Highbury rd recently.

Hardly see any stags out this way.

Back on topic....

Another thought is the vacuum modulator on the trans itself, get under and check for

leaking/cracked/loose hoses. (im not sure if modulator is correct term)

Scotty nm35 - nup cable accelerator, no drive by wire.

RBRyan - possibly in snow mode and the light not lit up at the switch on the console?

Or maybe the wires under the console are loose where they connect to the

snow mode plug?

Kidafa - Never known a trans ecu to have limp mode as such.

The main ecu yes. Anyone know how much the main ecu can

change the way the transmission ecu operates?

ie. shift point or engaging full lock up on the torque convertor.

Kiwi - Probably not advisable to increase boost pressure if there is an underlying

issue. Might make things worse.

ie. if it's the torque converter on the way out, it may make it fail sooner.

Trans ECU can go to limp mode if a shift solenoid is playing up, they will lock out of gears etc.

Take it to RVO, get them to plug into it for diagnostics... cheap insurance IMO.

I am in Toorak, work in the city, am out to mt dande a few nights a week, and geelong once/twice a month... See a black stag up mt dande a lot lately.

i did this the other day

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

hold you foot on the break, push the GO pedal down, when it creeps, take foot of the break. shouldn't be any more slugish

[southern_tango]

Now,the big revelation...RYAN is right,I recon my kid played with the switch and the car was in snow mode...(please just call me idiot,gently...)

I'm just glad it wasn't anything serious!

[kidafa]

no joke, what a good outcome. How gooods the feeling when its just something small like this.

On the trans note think i might book a shift kit for next few weeks

[910trx]

lol, snow mode

should call it "driver panic" mode

done this a few times - each time i panic thinking i have desroyed my trans

Do you guys get an indicator on your dash that you are in Snow or Synchro mode?

On the M35 you get the 4 wheel symbol with the drive shafts linking them to show you are in either mode.
