what rpm do you shift at and whatrpm are you shifting into?

BullShifter · #7 08-26-2003, 03:08 AM

Pull the hazard fuse located in the under-hood fuse panel.

I am wondering what Bambooseven is, what RPM's?

As per stated in the Factory repair manual:
Remove HAZARD fuse in the under-hood fuse box for 10 seconds to reset the ECU

Anyways - what tranmission are you using?

what it sounds like to me is the dynamic of how a car works. you're going to accelerate alot in lower gears and at higher rpm, more power is made at higher rpm's and the lower gear is there for that bottom end acceleration. You'll feel less of a pull in higher gears because they are not as steep. maybe i'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but i think what you're talking about is the same in any car. It's the reason why you can't spin the wheels in 4th gear at 4500 rpm by punching it, but in 1st, see what happens, you know?
