Are all stock Cl-S supposed to chrip when switching from 2nd to 3rd gear. I see many members say that it chirps from switching from 2nd to 3rd in an auto Cl-S. Mine does not do this, so Im guessing I got ripped off on power??

most people who experience this have comptech/obx headers.

nah.....chirps have alot do with tread wear, road surface, driver weight, air temp, tire temp etc.,

BTW,
Wheep hop and chirps are different.

Amoeba

oh, sorry Im not to familiar with wheel hop and chirps. Well, anyhow I think they mean that it chirps from 2nd to 3rd gear, I dont experience this, so I was just wondering if this was normal

Zapata

Yes of course it is heheh don't worry

zeroday

uuuh...my CLS wouldn't do it under ANY conditions. Maybe it was a dog? I mentioned headers because seems like after everyone gets them the first thing they mention is how they are able to chirp 2nd gear.

Zapata

headers and STOCK tires which are WORN.

Even with my second trans...I get 1-2 chirps with my 18's

I am RobG

i get triple chirps in 3rd with my 18's but i have a 6 speed so i dont count

Zapata

it also depends on how hard you shift.

Chripping is BAD... traction is GOOD

I spin 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. I have pretty new stock tires on the front (2-3k, maybe). I think it's my tranny, though, not the tires by themselves.

I got a little chirp test driving (2nd to 3rd) with a 6sp.

used to chirp 1-2, once in 3 with my old tranny. Now I have a new tranny and I can't even chirp 1-2 even with headers. go figure.
