i remember not long ago (about a month ago) someone post a way to make the rpm drop slower then factory setting.

can someone please post the link....

thanks

 

Do a search on adjusting the dashpot valve. Its near the TPS. It controls the rpm drop.

 

Heavy factory flywheel if you are running a light weight one.

 

On your series 5 TB the throttle dash pot is on the firewall side, opposite the TPS. The whole dashpot turns to adjust it.

 

does adjusting the dashpot creating any nagitive effect on the FC? Does this has anything to do with timing?

My flywheel is stock.......

 

Why would you want your cars engine to respond slower?

 

for the first gear smoothness

everytime I drive in a parking lot, if i am in 1st gear and need to slow down, the moment i let go of gas, the whole car shakes cause the engine break is too much. 2nd gear is better, but still has some shaking. 3rd gear and up are ok.

 

Use the clutch more often ....

 

All manual transmission drive lines will have some backlash that you feel when going on and off power, especially in 1st gear. Like The Ace says use the clutch when comming off power, the reengage it to resume power an take up the backlash. With a little practice, you will be as smooth as a limosene.

 

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE

That's exactly what i have been doing. But since this is my first manual car, I didn't know what to expect. I only compare it with my friend's s2000 which has less "lash" in first gear then my. Is that a design difference or my FC has some problm?

thanks again

 

In some circumstances the car might even buckle front and back. Its normal...it has to do with speed, weight, flywheel mass etc etc...

Dont overdo it, because this could have bad effects on your car. Just use the clutch....

 

The independent suspension adds 2 more CV joints combined with lots of miles will give more lash than you were used to. Enjoy the ride..

 

Hate to rain on the parade a little,but if your car behaves as you described you have a problem somewhere--one or more of 3 possibilities:
1.your TPS is not properly adjusted,
2.you have damaged or broken engine and or gearbox mount,
3.you have excessive wear in the driveline.

You can do a little test--find a an empty parking lot somewhere which has a gentle slope on it,say a 1 in 15 grade,point your car up the slope,and from
stationary position release the clutch slowly without any throttle.The car should move slowly up the slope without any jerking,vibration or noises,the engine speed should be about 600-650 rpm as the car moves up the slope.If you cannot do this start looking for the problem.

 

really? You can do that without stalling the car? Man, i have to go back and practice my driving skills.
