  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

First off: I don't call it the " Sport " mode - cause it isn't sporty :(

The car shifts up and down through the gears despite my intentions -

it has a mind of it's own

Lately - when I put it in manual mode - after about 5 minutes of spirited driving - the transmission lets loose with this aweful whining niose - like it's going to explode.

I have to put it back in DRIVE - and after 10 minutes or so of easy driving - it goes away

I'm convinced this transmission isn't up to snuff

sometimes - SOMETIMES... it will launch very nicely - but most of the time - the transmission is lazy - and it fights you if you rush it or downshift into a gear it doesn't prefer -

On a positive note - I smoked a Camaro SS on the highway a few days ago -

got the jump on him - and passed him in the middle lane before he knew what hit him -

He got on it - and tried to stop the pass - but I was on the power and the drag race was on

he was looking at my bumper -

and he wasnt happy :D
