Hi everyone,
I've noticed lately in my series 2 XR6 that once it's been driven for half an hour or so, at any condition (ie: slowly or spirited), once I come to a standstill and have a half decent crack at the throttle the car won't boogey until 1750-2000rpm. Is it the torque convertor or does the AU transmission have a failsafe that is been tripped and if so, should a trans cooler fix this? It's a bit annoying when your at the lights and the best you can do is j-u-s-t edge out in front of Fiesta's (hanmgs head in shame) from a standstill. And FYI the transmission is in Performance mode all the time (or at least the last two thousand k's) Thanks in advance |

my AU I Futura drives a little like that... it feels absolutely dead below 2000rpm... and when it hits 2500 or so.. it seems to just wake up and think... i better get a move on now.. and it takes off... very very slow off the line... i just put it down to diff ratio and gearing... would be interested if this is not the case....
also.. the sudden surge of power seems more pronounced when at less than 100% throttle |

Do you have extractors? A mate of mine had an AU ute and he went and put pacemaker extractors on and seemed to loose a lot of down low power. Anything above 2500/3000 it went like a rocket but it came with the cost of loosing down low power.

Yeah I have extractors fitted, but they are tuned for low down response, not top end. (tri y's)
I think it's the trans because it'll be fine for half an hour or so...then go retarded. I'm putting a cooler and shift kit on it soon, so hopefully it'll sort itself out. |

I'm curious about it been the extractors. If it was them, wouldn't it do it all the time, not just after half an hour or so? |
