Well i'm starting to get tired of the lag in the gas pedal that toyota puts in there so the granny shifters that take 3 days to change gears, can do it smoothly.... How to find this rubberband? cruise around 50mph or so..... pin the throttle in 5th for a few sec.... let off the gas and quickly push in the clutch (push in clutch once foot is all the way off the gas) and you'll see the RPM still jump up a few k! instead of dropping like they should.... :tap:

Anyone know how to remove this? Chip possibly?

Probally computer controlled but im not sure.

buy an intake. I know what you mean. When going faster there was this huge lag between gears. With my new Injen SR intake the lag seems to gone away. Very satsified with it....cant wait to get my exhaust and see how that does.

If you are talking about the engine taking a bit of time to go to idle, that is ussually caused by a heavy flywheel.

A lighter flywheel would help this, just keep in mind that a lighter flywheel will also hurt your driveability in every day use a bit. Meaning, you will have to shift quicker, less time to jump from gear to gear without the RPMs dropping.

Get an intake. i noticed that too when i got my box. Flywheels are too much of a hastle to deal with of which would help too but i would suggest an intake

No not what i'm talking about.... a heavy flywheel increase time for an engine to wind up and wind down..... what i'm talking about is a actual programmed responce toyota put in the car.... If yoiu follow the instuctions on my first post, you will see what i'm talking about.... even after lifting off the throttle completely when in gear, the RPMs will still continue to increase when clutch is depressed! meaning the computer almost puts a sloping curve to almost ease of the throttle even when your completely off w/ your foot..... I've seen this before, it's there to make the ease of a calm relaxed everyday driver in their shifting.... (BTW this is not an AUTO) My old ranger did this, intake, exhaust and chip later, i managed to work it out, actually gave the illution as if the flywheel was lighter... Now i was wondering would intake do this? anyone make a chip to help w/ this?

I had the same issues w/ the shifting lag and overall lack of balls, but after I finally installed the perrin pully, that aggrevation is all gone! The lightened wheel does not solve the lack of power or acceleration in the car, (it helps... a little :eyebrow: ) But where I really noticed a marked difference was how eager the car was to shift and engage gears! If shift lag is an issue for you, than I highly recommend a lightened crank pulley.
