I'm currently running with the SSTT and I have noticed that a couple times when I am in DS mode and I punch it, the rpms get stuck around 6,000. I then have to punch it again or switch over to regular drive mode. Anyone else have this problem?

how long have you had SSTT and what do you mean stuck? like the RPMs hang at 6000 for a while?

white135 · 08-06-2008, 11:24 AM

I have had the SSTT for about 2 months. It hangs at 6,000 until I either punch the acclerator again or if I slide it over to regular drive mode. It only seems to happen if I jab the accelerator when I do a quick pass. Only has happened twice since I have owned the car which is since May and only since I have had the SSTT.

i want to say the torque converter is getting stuck. but i just dont know enough about your situation to say whether or not thats the case. does it look like this??

watch the revs to the left

Not really. It is hard to describe. It feels like the transmission might be stuck and I have make it shift again (does that make since?) I'll try to see if I can get it on video.
Thanks,
Ken

Our 3 series did that on the track a couple of times. Can't explain it. Got rid of that for the 1 w/ a manual though.

frimmelnojerz · 08-06-2008, 02:25 PM

so the transmission stuck or hanging wouldnt be a torque converter issue?

all the SSTT does is alter the altitude your car thinks it's at, it wont affect shift points

you can always remove it to confirm
