Ok well i just broke in my 07' tC at 1200 miles. and i raced my friend in his Auto RSX on a 20 mph roll and he was pulling on me. Everytime i shifted into a higher gear the car felt like it jerked and slowed down. it just didn't feel right. But if i race it and do slower shifting the car throws me back into my seat and goes faster. iono i was just wondering if anyone else has the same problem. Post back.

What rpms are you shifting at? If you shift too early you might be missing the powerband. Or it could be that you're letting the clutch out too quick causing it too jerk.

shift just before redline and you just have to learn the clutch.

Yeah. I let out the clutch real fast. Iono im not use to this clutch. Its soooo soft. Im shifting at like 6200 rpm. I think its the way i let the clutch go because if i do it slower then it like throws me back into my seat. I know i can beat him on a roll. I kill him on a launch like no other.

or maybe ur misshifting up... like from 2 to 5...

take it to the track buddy. I don't want to see another thread about a dumbass kid racing his tC, wrcking it, and hurting someone.

^ x2

We're not that stupid. i only race it to 60. I think i somethings up with my car. Im gunna take it in to Scion tomorrow. Also Is the clutch under the powertrain warrenty?>

nope.

Clutch wear would be considered normal wear and tear but it shouldn't be even close to worn at 1200 miles, If you're shifting relatively slowly then you let the clutch out fast it will jerk because the rpms have to bounce back up.

Racing to 60mph is still racing on the street. Take it to the track as your adreneline will take it past 60 one day.

It your shifting AT 6200 it sounds like you might be hitting the rev-limiter which would slow you up. Start your shift at say 600 and by the time you actually hit the clutch you will be at 6200.

Street racing is fun enough for me. Alright well thanks for the advice guys. I thought my car was effed up or something. THanks again

You should kill an auto RSX with a 5speed tC, slow shifting or not.

Auto Rsx have Manual Gearing. Its a 5 speed auto with trip. I kill him on a launch but he stays with me on a roll.

You mean that auto-manual slapstick deally? Thats worthless, I would be suprised that at that price it has a true manual thats automatically controlled.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe you just don't know how to drive it yet... :eyebrow:

It's still automatic, it still has a torque converter.. And it's still slow.

You lost to an auto... :silly: :no:

I didn't lose. he was just on my ___. i Was expecting to kill him by at least 1 or 2 car lengths. But he was on my bumper

I lost to an Integra GS-R on the way to get some food this morning though. Damn. :doh:

Don't get mad at us cause you possibly suck at shifting.... :nope:

I didn't lose. he was just on my butt. i Was expecting to kill him by at least 1 or 2 car lengths. But he was on my bumper

You would need a Buggati to beat him by 1-2 car lenghts 20mph to 60mph

Alright well im gunna race that rsx again today. And ill get back at with you jerks with the info.

:cry: :cry: remember to pick up a diaper on the way home also. loosing to an auto base model rsx is just embarassing.. and to post that should only make u more embarassed lol :loser: :lalala:

thats expected..... good luck with that RSX.

HAHAHA I beat the Rsx HARD. And i was pulling on my friends JDM Civic SIR. All i did was let out the clutch slower. Ill be sure to record some of this stuff soon.

The shifting makes a BIG difference. Thanks for the guys that were positive on this thread

^^ yuup! Of course, each car is different so practice makes perfect!
