on my way home tonight i went to pass someone going well below the speed limit, we where going ~40mph so i rev matched to ~5k rpm and went into second gear(i was already in a bad mood so i was being a bit aggressive). normally i would just take off and go through the rest of the gears.

this time after i went into second and was at WOT(like normal) instead of being smooth it was normal for literally a second then it felt like it dropped like 1 or 2 hundred rpm for a split second the kept going like normal. trying my bes with typing sounds it went like this: BWAAA baa BWAAAAAAAAAAA (lol). i tried it again going down a back road going to my house and it did it again. oh and there is no CEL.

if you have any insight into this it would be greatly appreciated.

 

sounds like you need to stop down shifting from higher gear to lower one before your trans blows up....

if its going in and out of vtec, your low on oil, time for a change

 

i rev-match/double clutch before going down. i was thinking it may be oil related. i will go check/add/change the oil.

the car is an EP3 if that helps.

 

"BWAAA baa BWAAAAAAAAAAA"
^ i lol'd.

 

as did i when i was typing, haha.

 

what gear are you in before you shift down to 2nd???

being on a highway your more than likely in 5th gear, regardless if you rev-match or double clutch you are hurting the trans going form 5th to 2nd...unless your down shifting thru the gears which will still put unneeded use on the clutch

 

I'd be more worried about dropping a valve than transmission damage, but I get what you're saying...

 

it wasnt on the highway. i was doing between 35 and 40 so second gear is around 4.5-5k i dont think that is too bad?

anyways it was low oil, found out the oil pan or somewhere around the crank pulley was leaking oil a little bit, so. i believe that should fix that problem.

 

ya rev matching like that isn't to bad... but you should rev match threw the gears and not from 5th to 2nd...

 

normally when i do that i do 5-3-2 rev-matching all the way.

 

still bad for your trans...brakes are cheaper if you need to fix something

 

double clutching is what u do in older semi tractors not a modern car.. i dont care if u do push the clutch pedal twice

 

yeah, isnt it to do with the newer syncros or something like that?

 

double clutching is what u did when syncros were not around

 

ah, yea. i knew it was something like that.

 

To Fast To Furious lol.
