Default Problems

Ok so Im having some issues... When I run my nitrous too early in the RPMs and I get wheel spin my transmission wont shift... This is after it finally gains traction. It will tap the limiter a few times until I let off for a few seconds but even then it wont shift sometimes when I get back on it. Next thing is that sometimes when I launch or even punch it from a roll I will see the BRAKE light go on. WTF is wrong with my car?

not sure about the shifting thing, but i know for a fact that when the brake light comes on during driving, its time for new pads. or RARELY it could mean you need to add brake fluid, but i mean RARELY!, typically new pads will push the fluid back up to proper levels anyway.

Yeah I had the fluid problem on another car but I mean I checked the master cylinder on the tC and I dont think thats it. I do think I need new pads though... For those who dont look at my sig this in an Automatic.

possibly the tranny sl;ipping, its not seeing that its really at redline, so it doesnt want to shift..

my step-dads truck does that in second gear(no nitrous of course, just age)

good luck
