#1: Bigggg Problem! Author: Norvvv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu Apr 28, 2011 2:27 am ---- Car type in my Sig.
At the moment the problem seems to be in 2nd, 3rd and 4th, if i accelerate fast the car will accelerate for a second to about 2.5 revs on the counter then the car stops accelerating and revs like it's not in gear.
The gear stays in place, however could it be a clutch issue as i've had clutch judder for a while...?
Got a feeling this could be costly... Last edited by Norvvv on Thu Apr 28, 2011 3:09 am; edited 1 time in total

Do you not have a problem setting off from stationary? Could be a gearbox issue. Last edited by macca1411 on Thu Apr 28, 2011 3:30 am; edited 2 times in total

When i stop accelerating the revs drop back down and the gear reingages ot the clutch disengages depending on the problem ...
EDIT - Think your sig doesn't appear in you're thread opening post...? Last edited by Norvvv on Thu Apr 28, 2011 2:39 am; edited 1 time in total

Don't know i will have to test when driving again at about 11

What happens if you accelerate in a normal manner?
#9: Re: Bigggg Problem! Author: Norvvv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu Apr 28, 2011 2:46 am ---- I didn't really slowly lower the revs I came of ten completely then it goes again yes

It will still do it the majority of the time, only accelerating faster seems to exaggerate it and it will happen lower on the revs. I would have to be accelerating quite slow for it not to happen.

Bad news mate, it will only continue to deteriorate until you change it.
Good news is you'll really notice the difference when you do

#13: Re: Bigggg Problem! Author: Norvvv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Thu Apr 28, 2011 3:03 am ---- Cheers boys, kinda glad it is the clutch as i already knew that would need doing eventually with the clutch judder and stuff whereas if the gearbox had gone as well i would of been screwed! :L I know someone who's a manager at a car parts supplies place so they get me 50% off parts so shouldn't be too steep for me! Still lucky payday was today though!! haha
#14: Re: Bigggg Problem! Author: J-Turbo, Location: BELFASTPosted: Thu Apr 28, 2011 3:24 am ---- by the sounds of it the car needs a new clutch and it also sounds like it is going into what is known as limp home mode its when a car's ecu knows that there is a problem and wont let it go too high in revs it sounds like this as you said it wont go over 2.5 revs
hope this helps
#15: Re: Bigggg Problem! Author: Twincam007, Location: HounslowPosted: Thu Apr 28, 2011 5:36 am ---- If it turns out that the gearbox is gone as well, I have one that is in perfect working condition that you can have really chaep.Just want to get rid of the extra bits
