KB guys, having trouble with shifts.

02S281 · September 17th, 2008, 03:49 PM

Ok so heres the deal... whenever i shift hard between 1st-2nd-3rd-4th the car like stops. I don't know if this is like belt slip or something wrong with my chip (maybe i have to take it out and clean it better because the chip is supposed to bring my shift points closer together)

Anyone else have this problem? I have had it since the KB install. Maybe im bringing my RPM's too high, i shift between 5500 and 6000 and when shifting hard it falls on its face and goes no where, one time the car even died. Im really lost and don't know what to look for....

The only two things that I could think of is belt slip or clean the chip.... any other ideas?

did you install the disc under the frps? what's the fuel pressure when it happens?

i have always been told the chip is only good enough to get you to the dyno where you should have the car custom tuned it sounds like a fuel to air ratio problem to me just my thoughts

the kb kit comes with a small round disc with a small hole in it for under the frps. it mellows the fuel pressure spike to frps and helps in the hesitation on shift. But since yours died once I would look into a fuel pressure/volume issue(bad pump or filter)

yeah i just called KB and talked to Matt, he is going to send me that disc. My kit did not come with it but hes sending it out right away at no cost

Probably should have looked into this a month or so ago haha
