Hello all. I just picked up a 03 cl-s 6speed and when im driving it takes forever for rpms to come down. Its like it hovers in between shifts or if im in neutral. The car idles perfect it feels like it has a lot of power idk. Maybe its the light drivtrain. Any idaeas?

 

Normal operation.

The car has a dual mass flywheel. This is supposed to make the car easier to drive.

Search the FAQ on bypassing the clutch dampener, installing a SS clutch line & installing shifter bushings. This will improve shift feel.

 

Will it do anything for engagement issues surrounding the clutch?...by the way what ended up happening with the hit and run?

 

Are you sure about that. So when anyone shifts there cl-s the rpm raise like 2 to 3 hundred rpms. For example I'm in first gear I take off then press clutch to go in 2nd the rpms raise then come down. Oh yea I've been driving manual for a real long time and I never experienced this before. Can it be my tps?

 

I have the same thing in mine.

Doesn't bother me.

 

Yes. It's the way this car is made. It's different from other cars.

As I said if you bypass the clutch dampener & add a SS clutch line this will make it more normal.

 

Hmm anyone else? I'm going to video tape it but I don't think I can post it. I'm to new to this website.

 

It's normal. But you can video tape it if you want.
