Hi,

im a noob in the jdm car scene, and i just got my stock '98 acura integra. And I was driving it home from the dealer and I was wondering why everytime i shift there is a small lag before the power actually comes out, it feels like you are about to stall but then it just drives normally (this happens only when i shift). I need some input and suggestion on why my car is acting the way it is. And what is some common problems with integras, just for a heads up.


Thanks.

 

Are you using the clutch properly?

 

hmm you might have a soft clutch or your clutch might be out.

ummm... how do you know if you have a soft clutch?, sorry I'm a newb
My clutch is really easy to step on, it doesnt really have much resistance to it.

 

you sure its not turbo'd? haha. yeah its most likely your clutch.

 

is it a gsr? or ls

my old LS picked up pretty ok cus of the torque but my GSR takes a while cus theres no torque until 3-3.5 rpms, then the power kicks in

maybe he's referring to vtec, it kicks in at around 5500 right? or turbo lag, or his clutch is shot to ****.
