WhiteXR Member 117 Member For: 14y 9m Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 18/03/11 01:16 AM Share Posted 18/03/11 01:16 AM Hi Everyone.I was wondering if anyone has experienced something similar to what I am experiencing. When I drive smoothly, with no hard hitting acceleration, I obviously up my gears. 1st and 2nd is smooth, but when I enter 3 it is smooth pretty much all the way through but once the revs get a little higher at cruising speed, It feels like it upd a gear to 4 as the revs go down a little but really its still in 3rd. Its weird but it has been there for a while. It only happens when I cruise. If I thrash, this issue never occurs.The gearbox is pretty mint as it has never slipped on me, but this issue has been happening for a while to my car. Tuner said it was a good box aswell. It is a stock BTR 4 SPD.any oppinions?Thanks.

Tobey Awesome... Member 407 Member For: 15y 7d Gender: Male Posted 18/03/11 06:55 AM Share Posted 18/03/11 06:55 AM (edited) stock 4sp's have a convertor?Back to school for you Lockout is in 3rd and fourth, it gets rid of heat when cruising and also gives it 6 gears in terms of revs.that's why hi-stalls are useless to cruise with as it removes the lockout and generates plenty of heat...
