hi guys my bro just bought a VP Calais, now its had and engine change 70 000kms ago, its got stage 2 shift full exhaust, but not sure bout diff gears oh and its a v6.
anyway even if you punch it from stand still it doesnt seem to rev out seems to hit 3 1/2 - 4 grand then chirps into second... no i had a stock VP v6 a while ago use to near red line each gear on flat stick?
any suggestion? thanks Daniel![]()
My VP GTS is exactly the same. I recently got a full rebuild with stage 1 and when flat footing it its VERY reserved. I've had a little fiddle with the kickdown but not much success, should I take it back to the automech and get him to tweek it or can this be done via the memcal?
ive got no idea ive tried the kickdown nothing... unless we not doing it right, its just doing my head in quick chang crap...
still need help
Its not a urgent problem, its not like you can't drive the car, give it some time and see what surfaces.
yeah i guess, thanks mate
Take it back to the bloke who did the shift kit, and ask him to loosen the shift cable for you.
Casual driving, my car used to shift at around 3000rpm. I didn't like it. I asked my trans man to tighten it when he put the shiftkit in, and now it shifts around 2400rpm. Flat stick, it shifts around 4 grand. so I would assume that if I had this cable untightened again, it would shift around 3 normally, and redline when I punish her![]()
