Hello everyone. So I recently purchased a 2012 Ralliart with 138 miles on it. Brand new never been with title. I noticed that it shifts and jerks very hard when speeding up and even more when slowing down and in auto mode. Is it normal for the car o be such a rough ride and jerky ? I dont mind the ride I just want to make sure thats the way the transmission is suppose to act. Thanks for your help Daniel

 

I bought my car new with 112 miles on it and it shifted rough in my opinion up until i reached 1,500 miles. Then i flashed the GST map and my sst has shifted loades better since then. Thanks Richard and Bryan for such lovely maps!

 

Thanks for the info. Makes me feel a little better knowing thats the way the car is. I down loaded Bryan's Maps. Now I am just waiting on my Tactrix cable

 

If you bought it with 138 miles you need to let it break in some. Those clutches are still brand new. The whole thing is brand new.

Take it easy on the car for the first 1000 miles or so. Run up and down the RPM range but not WOT.

After your first oil change, feel free to dump into it a little, but don't make it a habit.

I didn't do any WOT runs on mine until it was over the 3000 mile mark.

After this, everything should smooth out nicely.

 

In stop and go traffic it will jerk a lot especially from 2nd to 1st. I put it in manual and try to stay in 2nd during these times.

 

Bout the only way to keep if from being extremely jerky

 

So since I need to be careful with the transmission for a few thousand miles does that mean I need to hold off on the mods as well. I was planning on the following

Down pipe
High flow cat
Cat back exhaust
FMIC
Upper and lower IC pipes
Transmission cooler
Oil cooler
AEM Intake
GST map with GST boost pill
