Car Keeps putting it's self into 3rd gear??? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

For some reason on days like today, When my car hits about 60 mph in 5th gear, It engages the clutch, bleeps the throttle, shifts into third. This is then followed by intense acceleration, Throwing it into fourth before red line and a very big

Guessing your an auto or it would be driver mod. Has it started doing this after a tune(could be a bad tune)?

Sounds like your car is fed up with the pansy ass driving and wants you to drive it like you stole it.

It'll get old. You get used to it then start thinking your car isn't as fast as it was.

ndubz · 06-07-2010, 07:02 PM

^^^ yup. then u gotta drive other cars and get back in ur car again to realize how fast it really is. My old job had me drive alot of V8 german cars, thats when i realized that my car is a pretty good thrill, when the pull of a CLK 500 or an A6 4.2 is not all that exciting lol

When you think a WRX from a highway roll is fast you haven't driven enough cars.

I've got about 500lbs less then an sti. Lets just say I surprise a ton of people that try to pick on me. Once I get my third gear sorted out I'm finally gonna go to the track. Hopefully I'll be on the low 12 side of things. Not bad for a little car. lol

No it's not auto, but yeah it did it every so often when it was stock. After the TBE and the utec was put on it did it more often. Then I got it pro tuned. Now it does it all the time.
