Hesitation when accelerating under WOT
Hello Members,
I tried searching for this before and maybe I'm not using the right words but I really have no idea what's going on. For the past two days whenever I floor it for fun when entering the freeway the RPMs in my '08 TL-S 6MT would dip at certain points. After trying to replicate the problem I can get it to consistently lower itself and/or pause a little between 3.5K and 5K RPMs. I started thinking it was the VSA so I tried this with the VSA on and off and I'm still getting the same problem. I'm not sure if this is an issue or if it has something to do with the LSD. This is my first car with LSD and VSA but I've been driving it for over a year without running into this. Usually I get smooth acceleration for as long as my foot is down but now the RPMs and vehicle speed both take "breaks" between 50-80MPH. The first time I was having an issue it actually revved to redline in 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear without matching acceleration/vehicle speeds. It almost felt as if the clutch wasn't completely engaged. Thanks in advance!
