on takin off really hard in my car. (TC)

i rev up to 3 rpm n slam the gas n pop the clutch (yes i kno bad but im gettin a new clutch). tires jus spin n squeal all the way up to 4.5 rpm dependin on the surface. shift into 2nd and tires squeal again. and i do it again for 3rd and it kinda peels/squeals/chirps (how ever u wanna call it).


but i accidentally misshifted 1 day n redlined. more lik bounced of the rev limiter. after that incident i dunt push my car hard until recently. it's been bout 2 weeks.

i do drive my car on a daily basis and i also taught a few people how to drive stick in that same car (TC).

but now wen i try to chirp in 3rd gear... i cant!!!!!


is it cuz clutch is worn down a lil?!
sumting is up wit my tires?!
LOST IN HP?!?!!??!?!? if so, any ideas on how to restore it?!

im kidna worried so can anyone help me?!

Maybe that one time you caught it just right to make the 3rd gear chirp. I can't think f many cars that get 3rd gear scratch! Yeah you probably caught the shift juuust right.

im gettin the same thing now, i chirped it in 3rd when i got it, but now, a month later its nearly impossible...my b/f can though. I dont know why though. oh well. And many cars can chirp 3rd, even 4th, if you know what you are doing...and if you have the power.

When the car's new the tires are new too. As you wear them down a little you have more traction. You weren't going any faster when you were chirping third, in fact, I bet you're faster now.

thx for the encouragment. hahah

i keep tinkin that my car is weaker then before and it gets me depressed at times.

thx everyone.

:-)... at least there is some common sense in this world

larry_flint

good clutch+____ty tires=chirp any gear.

yeah my friend in his wrx could chirp 1-4, i hated him for it....all 4 tires....chirping....as he screamed away from my corolla.....

JasonH

Same tires as the tC, so I'm not surprised. However, I have a feeling he wasn't shifter properly either.

gtalord

yeah....but he still kicked my ****...

JasonH

Yeah, but you were in a Corolla...the kid on a Schwinn was keeping up with you.

I am going thru the same thing ... i can used to chirp in third .. now i can't =P

but my car is taking off a lot faster on first and 2nd ... I dont know what I did to it ...

maybe it was my roadtrip to san jose and back to socal =P

Havent tried it yet, But will the TC Chirp in 2nd?? Hmm Thats nice..Maybe I'll try it someday.

Do you just shift 2 2nd about 6K?? Then shift as fast a possible?? Im not really shure how to do it.. :oops:

I've been able to grab and chirp third... everytime i've tried... this car has some pull!

I can chirp between 1/2 and 2/3. I don't go up to 6krpm tho. I think around 5-5.5k rpms is where I get it. I try not to do it too much, but once in a while I like to feel the pull! I can't wait for my exhaust!
