i think my car is broken!

[Ralliart26]

ever since i bought it it shifts weird. while shifting from 1st to 2nd it jerks and down shifting there is a slight jerk. There also is a problem when im driving and i let of the gas and get back into it and it shifts thats when you can really notice it. i was wondering if anyone else has this problem or does anyone know what it could be?

noticed the same thing from day one. does it happen only when you shift it manually? it's not too obvious when in sport mode but defnitely in normal mode. i kinda had to 'adjust' my acceleration and shifting mixing..

its worse when its in drive. so is that just how our tranny rides?

Take it back to the Dealer. Tell them your problem(s). they should take care of it under warranty. If you think something is not right on the car take it back to the dealer for warranty repair. Keep us posted.

should i call to see if they can even do anything? cause id have to take off my mods before bringing it up there.

Depends on what your mods are. Who knows, they might be causing the problem. Also, where are you located? If you live in a very cold climate, that has been known to cause problems with the ACD and transmission. There is even a reflash specifically for RAs in regions with very cold climates.

I would leave the cat-back on, but remove any other mods and see if it changes or improves your shifting. If so, you have your answer. I suspect it won't but why waste your time and the dealers if that is the problem.

Then set up and appointment and have the service advisor or technician drive the car with you to duplicate the conditions. If it only does it in the morning cold then leave the car overnight so the dealer can drive it under those circumstances, otherwise if they can't duplicate your issue, they can't fix it.

You could also arrange it so you meet them at the dealer for that morning test drive to confirm your concerns on the test drive. Just remember to leave the car with them overnight if the concern is only first thing in the morning.

I just squeeze out (not really redlining it) the gas every gear prior to the 5th-6th and then it would shift fairly smoothly. and yes it starts a little sluggish in the morning or during (very) cold weather. In stop and go traffic, clunks from 1st to 2nd gear and vice versa (auto-mode), though not as bad now as it was then.

I used to have the same noise in 1st & 2nd but not anymore, I have about 11,700 miles on it now. It may have to do with the clutches being new.

I do notice clicking noise when air/heater is on & idling. If I turn the fan off no more clicking, I presume its normal.
FYI you cant use Cruise Control on Sports Mode.

MIne did too, a/c clicking audibly when turned on or when on. I have 10,000 miles on mine and it';s shifting smoothly now.. Unless of course I mess around with my gas pedal..
