delayed response....

[Mighty~Mart]

what i find weird is that when i drive my car it seems like i get a delay with my response time when i hit the gas.. i'm not flooring it but just driving normal and watching the a/t shift anywhere from 2-2.5k rpms

is this normal to feel this "delay"? anything that can be done? is this some sort of legal restriction?

this is probably a bad comparison but i drove my friends 04 sentra 2.5 and it felt like it's response time was way better..

by delay, you mean that when you press the gas, the car seems like it doesn't want to move, until a split second later, or something completely different?

I've heard of older cars doing something like that, where I think (don't quote me on this) there was a tiny bit of slack in the throttle cable. But then that's an old car and you drive a Gen5, right?

as for the shifting betweem 2-2.5K RPMs, that's normal. The car won't always shift at the same RPM, and as you continue to drive I believe that shift point will change. I know that happened to my Gen3, where when I first started driving it would shift in that range, but after driving differently (and harder), it tends to shift at 3K RPMs.

maybe the tranny just shifts slower?
I've never driven a gen5, so I can't really say.....

this is exactly what i mean....any gen 5'ers get this...well i also know most of the gen 5's here have the 6cyl.

man *regretting that i should have got the 6cyl.*
