a few dumbass questions....

1.) For whatever reason my 4-5 shift isnt nearly as smooth as any other shift.... it 'clicks' into 5th and occasionly i get a similar 'click' when goign into 6th..... anyone else experience this?

2.) The MPG counter..... it measures your MPG from the last time it was reset up to present, correct? mine has been stuck b/w 25.1 and 25.3 for 3 weeks

3.) The HLSD..... when i accelerate is the hlsd always workign or does it only kick in when the other wheel starts to spin????

4.) Rain + stock tires + hard 1-2 shift =

1. People have complained about "notchy" shifting and clicks grinds and all other kinds of sounds and feeling. first change the tranny oil to either a Redline oil or Amsoil MT fluid. most of this feeling and sounds will disappear.

2. yes you can either reset it or just leave it be and it will be the average from last time it was reset. to reset it hold the trip button on the steering wheel until it clears out your setting. takes like 5 seconds.

3. for the most part the HLSD is working all the time, you just cant notice it as much until you slip the wheels. when turning and so forth i dont think it still distrib the power 50-50. like if your taking a turn and you were to mash the pedal, you will have to fight the car to turn cause its giving power 50-50.

4. Rain + uphill + 1st gear = wheel slip. just be happy you dont have 18's or 19's cause then you will get the same wheel slip in 2nd.
