Rough 2nd gear?

TarmacST1 · 03-17-2008, 09:00 PM

hey guys i don't know if i am posting in the correct forum, but any of you think crusing slow in 2nd gear feels a little rough? suprisingly 1st gear is quieter than the 2nd gear. hmm

Rough or loud?

This is a noisy gearbox but built strong. As for roughness, not necessarily, maybe youre thinking of engine tune? The engine can get be inconsistent at low RPM/moderate throttle.

if by rough you mean that during light to moderate throttle, second gear feels like the clutch is slipping ever so slighty between 2-3K RPM? is that what you mean? because if it is, YES, i feel that too and it is extremely annoying.
