Auto Doin Weird Shit

[britz1]

Im having troubles with my s1 r33 when i stand on the accelerator it reacts normaly but when it changes to second gear the revs fall to 3k and wont accelerate any more.... could it be a form of limp mode...

also when it changes from 1st to second... before it cut the revs it would hit limiter for a second before it pulled second... not shure if this in normal...

have you checked your oil in the trans.

Whens the last time you've done a service on it?

is there a trans oil cooler? sometimes in the hot weather it decides to overheat and the trans becomes noticably sluggish.

and judging by your trans flaring between 1st and second,it sounds like your 2nd gear clutch plate is completely worn. Looks like a rebuild mate.. or a manual conversion!

If your doing a trans oil change, make sure to ONLY put whats on the dipstick, or a fully synthetic oil like nulon AT Tran fluid. I'm pretty sure 33's runs Re5 4spds?

Yer mate could be a rebuild... it was serviced with new oil like last month... arnt those gearboxes electronicly controlled could it have somthing to do with the TPS because the way it cuts the revs is super weird... and if its worn meh ill just drive it till it pisses me off lol its only a daily i have a track car to go fast...

if you had it serviced last month there should have been some material in the bottom to show wear.

They didnt say anything.... but wear wouldnt explain the engine cutting back to 3k and not accelerating

yeh there is a trans ecu talking to your Main ECU.

so if it notices a fault in the trans it can actually talk to your main ecu telling it basically not to rev so hard so it can avoid the trans slipping.

when they did the service they may have used Dextron III which isn't the best fluid for an RE5 trans. it needs to be what on the dipstick., or basically goodbye transmission.
