Hello all. New here. Name is Dave. I have an 03tt. Speed yellow.

Im pretty much stock thus far except for Lowering and rims.. Ive had the car for about 3 months now.

Got a few questions I could not find answers to when i searched.

I have a large and annoying surge. (im convinced its not variocam). It just started to do this. Doesnt matter what RPM, If I get into it ,It jumps 2000rpm at ANY rpm. If Im at 3k, it jumps to 5k then back down to 4k or so then the turbos kick in. If im at 5k, i immediatly redline then it drops back down. Happens in EVERY gear at any speed, and any rpm range. Its pretty violent and teh PSM has kicked on a few times.

Any ideas? My MAF is clean as is the airbox and you could eat off the filter. I noticed it after the last day at the track a few days later.

Anyhow, are a few pics. Thanks! Dave

 

Welcome to 6, great looking car.

Im sure others will start to chime in to give you more info

 

Does it happen when u get on it? if so its the clutch.....

 

Welcome. Where you at the GMP GTG in May? Met a guy there who just purchased a stock SY 996tt.

 

yep, Only happens when I get on it.

I just got a new tranny, and its only happened since then. Any more info on it, Im going to call the dealer that put in the trannny.

 

Wasnt me....

 

Nice car, SY is one of my favorite colors. Let the mods begin!

 

your car looks great....love the rims.

 

Thanks for the kind comments.

Yep, Getting flashed this week after I get the surge problem sorted, then exhaust ofcoarse.

 

Im pretty sure its the clutch slipping... how many miels on the car? if more then 30K then Im confident its the clutch. strange though that it happened as soon as u changed the tranny.

I have a blown Mustang, 520 rwhp. It started doing the same thing yesterday, I am hoping it is the same thing. Only happens when I get on it? Thanks for the help.

 

They inspected the clutch and said is looked near new...... 39k on the car...

Im dropping it off today. Thanks.

 

Right after I put UMW software in...clutch went. Fast. Torque.....is huge in at least in the UMW K16 package, perhaps yours toasted your clutch too.


Or they left something out of the tranny fix.....on this, I don't know enough to help you....there are many a guru here that can help.


If it is the clutch.....


See my signature for what I did to fix things. Any good clutch will cost you in labor...perhaps the shop that did the tranny will at least cover labor for most of a clutch........the LWFW, for me, was a great move.

In my case, I called Kevin and he explained things to me...got the kit to me the next day no problem.


Good luck.

 

I havent flashed it yet. Im stock.

 

I would still put in a stronger clutch (not OEM) if you have to do the clutch. The LWFW is a huge plus too. See my rennlist thread on it with sound bytes/video....

Better UMW clutch feels just like a factory one, perhaps even better. He does't use the ones that bite/on-off only....it is smooth and nice.




Best of luck.
