There Must Surely Be A Cure!

Search for lighter flywheels, a thread floated around a while back about this.

How bad is it sticking ? Like it's not coming down at all, or just taking too long ? Is yours a stock tranny or have you done a swap on it ?

yep manual, as it came from the factory.

sorry, should have been clearer. basically it takes a long time for the revs to come down on gear changes, the higher up the rev range the longer it takes.

i like to take pride n the way i drive but this just makes me look and feel like an idiot driving. ruins the drive :angry:

as matt b said i would look for lighter flywheels, the 850 and S/V/C70 flywheels on manual cars are notoriously heavy if i recall correctly

which shows that a lightened flywheel wont help :(

I prefer to keep things more simple, it fits my mind best :)

A dirty throttle body could be the problem, or the return spring for the throttle cable could require replacing.

thanks klaus but seeing as it's such a commomn problem someone must have changrd those things before me and either it worked or it didn't.

or maybe changed something else and it definetly got rid of the problem?

just trying to save myself from changing this, then that etc etc.

Mine's new, I'm with Johann, it could be the programming :unsure:

Remember that with an external dump-valve, you're dumping metered air into the atmosphere. So for that period of time you're running very rich, and maybe the extra fuel floating around is keeping the revs up? Took me a long time to 'learn to drive' with the DV.

Even NA cars do this. I'm pretty sure it's in the programming. Once the throttle plate is closed the IAC controls air flow into the engine (via computer control). I think it's an emission control thing.
