Synchro rev problem.

WOT might have something to do with it.

Cant tell if your being serious. I hope your not

Its the gears. The gears throw the synchro rev off very slightly, just enough for the computer to sense a problem. Since the SRM works on upshifts as well every time you shift the computer senes a problem and eventually turns the system off letting you know there is a problem. For now your just going to have to live with it, thats the price you pay and one of the biggest reasons I dont wanna do gears.

Yep, I was being serious. That and those ratios "probably" are the issue. Without the WOT condition, there was no issue, right?

WOT is irrelevant, it is the RPM calculations going wrong at the high end of the rev band thanks to the messed up ratios. Theoretically the SRM could be reprogrammed to new ratios but I don't know if anyone has that figured out.

Stop it ok. Drving the car at WOT does not affect the SRM at all. If you think so maybe you should stay off the gas ok

K I didn't want to start yet another SRM thread so I wanted to ask my question on here (I don't think anyone's ever had this feeling of mine):

When I manually heel-toe, the car feels glued to the ground the entire process.. no problem at all. However, I've tried the SRM a handful of times, and each time the same thing occurs. Coming up on a turn I would begin braking, then while still on the brake, I would downshift and the throttle would blip like it's supposed to. However, it feels like when I let off the clutch pedal, the brakes ease off on their own, or the car stays in neutral for 1 or 2 seconds longer. The feeling of your tires gripping the road is almost completely gone. I've tried re-engaging the clutch more quickly and more slowly.. and the same thing happens each time.

It feels like the car is kind of just 'floating' there and it's quite unsettling and doesn't inspire much handling confidence. I 'could' just turn it off and heel-toe myself, but I sorta wanna use the 'high-tech' function if it's there (also mostly because if it's a problem with the SRM on my car in particular I wanna sort it out while still under warranty). I've heel-toed in a few other cars with no issues so I don't 'think' it's my technique.. but maybe I'm doing something wrong here with the SRM? Any tips/ideas/suggestions? Thanks dudes!
