Hello Everyone,
I have just had the FRP gearbox and ST150 clutch fitted, and wow 2nd, 3rd & 4th gears are amazing, it feels like it pulling a lot more than the standard gearbox :grin: .
But the 1st gear feels really poor , can't remember if it did before, and that it just feels poor now because of the other gears.
But it really doesn't pull in 1st Gear? it feels like a slow diesel van, then no matter what rpm you change from 1st to 2nd it pulls brillantly in 2nd gear? At the moment I set off and have to change asap into 2nd to get any speed.
It feels as if the car isn't allowed to set off fast in 1st gear, almost as if something is stopping it?
Does the mapping system on standard 1.7's prevent the car from setting off fast in 1st gear in a bid to protect the engine?
What are the FRP's like, can there set off fast in 1st gear?
You can put your foot down in 1st and watch the dial slowly increasing, put the car in 2nd and the dial goes wild along with the power.
How can I make the car set off fast from a 1st gear standing start?
Regards
Scott
