Revs take too long to drop between gears.

[coolngroovy]

G'day all,
I've recently purchased a VU '02 ute with V6 Getrag.

I replaced the clutch [ solid flywheel] & gearbox.

The problem i have, that when changing thru the gears, the engine revs wont drop for about 2 seconds.

I've checked the throttle return spring for binding & lubricated it, but it makes no difference.

Any suggestions on what to check?

Regards, Col.

Very Common and I think most of us here that have a V6 manual have the same issue.

you have a hoist? Cool, Would be soooo handy!

Hoists cost about as much as a decent set of rims these day, except they fit more cars.

Linky to a fix?, or am i stuck with this issue?

im in the same boat as you Coolngroovy. Had my machanic plug his computer in to see if there were any fault codes. 02 sensors was on the code list but don't fix the problem. please let me know if you find a fix and ill do the same.

Check you haven't knocked a vacuum hose off somewhere.
Maybe clean your throttle body and in particular the IAC valve.
