08 Type-S 6MT. Initial Acceleration bucking issue
I have a 2008 Acura TL Type-S 6 Speed.
I have another post regarding swapping to a 3.7 MI and TB. Not sure if that would help the problem below.
The issue:
When i give my car gas it bucks slightly a bit from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd for some reason, only when I give it gas initially... then its fine. I've already replaced the APP sensor (NEW) and that didn't do anything. I also swapped out my throttle body with a used one to see if it would help... it didn't. Even replaced the Map Sensor AND ALL MOTOR MOUNTS. Additionally, I had the dealer re-flash the ECU. I'm shifting at like 3K - 3.5K RPMs each time.
I was thinking the 3.7 IM and TB would help with throttle response and eliminate that initial acceleration bucking.... perhaps im wrong.
