Hey guys,

I have a 2006 TL with the 6 speed manual transmission. I have some concerns. My transmission shifts perfectly driving normally and when I'm driving fast except for when I peel out from first gear going into second. when I take my foot off the clutch once in 2nd it's as if it slips or just doesn't engage. I'm just basically reving the car. Second gear won't engage unless I let the rpm lower a bit. Do you guys know what's wrong?

 

Your clutch is slipping. Try going up a steep grade in fourth gear and see what happens. And "peel out" sounds, well, pretty lame.

 

You need to replace your clutch. It's worn out.

 

How many miles do ya have on it?

 

wouldnt matter.

some one could abuse a clutch in 2 miles or 200,000 miles.

 

And when you do, be sure to spend an extra $209 (rockauto.com) and change the flywheel too! Take it from someone who learned the hard way:

I have had this problem too. It may not be a worn clutch disc. It could be the Slave Cylinder Check Valve:

I have not done this, but those who have say it made a huge difference for maximum performance shifting.

Good luck!

 

could be, im betting its a worn clutch from all the "peel outs"

 

I'll second that notion!

Peel-outs + 2nd gear shifting + Check valve = Burnt clutch in a jiffy
