Default Hard thump coming out of 1st gear...

I've been having difficulty doing a smooth shift from 1st to 2nd lately. It can be done, but I have to really baby it. It's a very uncomfortable jolt usually coming out of 1st. Any ideas? thanks.

2nd. If your stick is moving around, check mounts.

Default that's what I was thinking, gonna replace motor mounts with RS4 ones...

Is the APR snub mount still the SM of choice? How difficult is it to get to the tranny mounts?

Get the snub mount from Vast. APR's is waaayy over priced for a piece of plastic

Default too many launches? or just the KAS dyno? That dyno was mean!

I saw your ECUx graphs showing IAT's from KAS dyno, looked very hot. Snow Trooper and I thought the dyno had a wicked load profile and was running hot, but had no logs.

But does it move as much as before you got mounts?

Default 250f is pretty hot :) ... noticed the pass side leaking when i changed the oil a few weeks ago

probably from driving up to steven's pass ... think i've had a few rough downshifts preparing to pass

already have most of the parts for the "rs4" transmission mounts... suppose i should order new motor mounts too.
