Hey Rob,
This ones probly been bought up heaps, but I could never find a straight answer.
My cars a manual 6. Wen I change gears, the revs kick up a little (couple hundred rpm)
this ****s to no end. Only way I've figured out to beat this is, wen i go to change gear, take my foot off the accelerator, put in the clutch, hold it for a few seconds then release it, obviously changing gears in between.
Is there any way to fix this?
I've been told its to do with the flywheel being a dual mass jobbie??
Cheers mate!!
Keegan

Sounds like how I was taught to drive a manual???
Once the clutch goes in it is free reving, there for if you dont take your foot off the accelerator a little prior to clutching, the revs will increase.

Yeh funny that mate. . . . but every other manual I've driven doesnt do this.
So I though Id ask some1 who could give a little PROPER advice on the issue.
Thanks for your input though. . . . .

If I wasn't clear b4 I meant I normally do take my foot off b4 I put the clutch in.
But I have to over compensate wen I do it now. Literally!

Don't know if Doctor Bob or someone else can help me out here. How exactly do you remove the ignition barrel from the steering lock housing on a VN? I have removed the torque bolt and taken the steering lock/ignition housing off, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the barrel out. I have been told you need the key to do it, and there is a small hole through which you push a pin/similar object, but any steps after that has me stumped.
Cheers,
LW

Fabz, ill see what i can find tomorrow, the older dark grey ones are about $70, the newer black & red ones are about $55, but are hard enough for our guys to get.The dealers dont actually sell them they are brought by the techs from the manufacturer, what size are you after
Airstrike, nothing where i am, did you try Dandenong?
Deserthead, this is ties up with the iac control, i think it originated in emissions requirements, if its really a problem for you i may be able to write it out of the calibration, but im nt sure how it will drive.
ElDubya, you need to be able to turn the key in the lock, push a pin punch into the hole you mentioned & turn the key, you will feel the lock tab move when you have it turned far enough, then pull the barrel out of the housing.
If you cant turn the key you need to drill out the lock until it can be removed.
