I’m finding that the shift into second gear is rather sloppy before the engine reaches operating temperature.
Before the engine is warmed up, when it shifts into second, the RPMs jump for a second or 2 before dropping down about 200 RPMs and fully engaging second. For example, I have a video where it shifts into second, jumps to 2500 for a second, then drops to 2300.
This only occurs when the coolant temp is below the middle tick on the gauge. Once its above that temp, the shift is crisp and the RPMs do not jump, then fall back as the vehicle accelerates.
I’m not noticing this on my wifes 16 GT.
I know there were some changes to the transmission since the first gen, so Im wondering if this is normal.
It appears to be different from what is being reported in the jerky transmission thread.
Thoughts? Anyone else notice this wih a gen 2? Specifically a turbo model.
