hi 1st gear only takes me to about 10-15mph and im at like 4k rev before i shift is that really the best it can do? if i gas is anymore its just more loud reving and not much acceleration.. then once i put it into 2nd its all gravy from there on up.. is 1st gear meant to be milk? and gassed to 20mph? then shift? cuz other then that ive been shifting around 3k and it sucks cuz 1st gear has no power to get me to 20mph... sad? i dunno...

Might want to try taking it up to redline, maybe?

is it supposed to rev that high? id imagine it would be like my second and 3rd gear

G_Loc

Well no, only if you want to go faster. Shifting at 3k is fine... I'm not quite sure what you're asking.

1st tops out at 31mph on Si's, not sure about S's or VTEC

The water you had/have in your resonator made 1st gear take a ****.

NO! water cools the intake air, thats why I drive through deep mud puddles to get the coldest water possible in my resonator box

actually my low end has imporoved with the water gone.. = ) quite smooth.. but still id imagine my 1st gear to accelerate like my other gears.. but is 1st gear supposed to rev so high? what rev do u guys shift at and how fast does it get to before u shift to 2nd in street driving? = ) Baked Good = )

AznRukkus

my 2nd gear makes a better 1st = |

spin_r_g

Go read up on gear ratios.

yea but those gear ratios are for top speed and redlining.. = | i just need to kno what speed u guys usualy take 1st gear to in normal driving = )

spin_r_g

I don't even know how to respond to that.

Do you understand how transmissions work?

not really.. = | so is my problem normal then? lol when do u shift to 2nd? and what speed?

Tee-Dot

Your car is an automatic. Don't worry about shifting gears. It'll shift on its own. Just leave it in 1 and mash the gas.

i shift at 8k rpms no matter what. i also live my life a quarter mile at a time.

kidding aside, you can shift any time before redline. All depends on how you want your driving experience to be. sometimes ill shift as low as 2k.

Im in 5th gear by the time Im through the intersection at a red light.
Im just that good, but also skip from second to 5th.....

no really

i would do that if i had a manual

i'm starting to think the water in the resonator was bong water....
