    Default Rough as ass through gears..

    My vr has always been abit slow throught its gears but lately its been getting worse. Through all the gears if i redline it instead of siply changing into the next gear it seems to go into neutral and rev its ass off before changing into the next gear.

    Short of getting a new gear box is there anything that i can do to help this problem?

    Any help is appreciated

    I'm guessing you're talking about an auto? How long since it's had a service?

    lol.. Yeah, it makes it hard.
    Check your auto fluid level, make sure its a the Full mark when it's hot, and check the colour, it should be a nice clear red colour, not dark or brownish.

    Throw a can of "transmission conditioner" into the oil - this will make the clutches grip better temporarily and give you some breathing space till you replace the transmission. Costs less than a bucket of KFC.
