hi people.

bought a 300TT, auto couple of weeks ago, got the box reconed cos it was ko'd.

problem is it seems to be very sluggish. kickdown only kicks in 40-50% of the time!

just about got away from a vectra at the lights the otha day.

could it be the box?

any tips on wat i could do?

p.s. 0-60 well ova 7secs, wat should it roughly be?

done some runs in mine with a 0-60 timer in, done one in 6secs dead without giving me clutch too much of a pasting!!!

I feel the need, the need for speed!

Mine kicks down every time even on 1/4 throttle. If anything, it kicks down too often, eg if I'm doing 70 on motorway and touch the throttle it changes down and screams along at 6500rpm LOL

 

Try cleaning out the contacts in the TPS (Throttle position sensor, black plug on top front passenger side of engine) and checking the voltage its gving out

no jaz, mines a manuell (is not rat, is siberian hampster)

 

dont think there is really that much between them tho (oh god, here we go again!!! )
