Engine drops 1,000 RPM's when shifting???
I have an 05' XFire Roadster with Auto-Stick and when I am driving under half way normal conditions (I have a bit of a lead foot) the engine will drop 1,000 RPM when shifting to a higher gear (2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th). I test drove a couple of other cars before buying this one and I do not recall this happening. The others seemed to shift much more seamlessly without this kind of lag.
If I put my foot in it and accelerate quickly it seems to shift alright, but I was not sure if there was a tweak that I needed to do for normal driving conditions.
Also, is the car supposed to roll forward when you put it in park and then take your foot off of the brake? Is my transmission loose or worn in some way? I do not recall this happening in the others that I test drove either.
Smooches!
