I have just done this and it's like driving a new car.
Previously I couldn't change gear smoothly, quite simply because I wasn't depressing the throttle enough when I changed, now it's great and much more responsive.
Trouble is, it's not my car it's my wife's, and she is really not very happy with me, because now she can't drive it smoothly, where as she could previously with the throttle lag.
Boris...you're my new hero. I have had the same problem with my Crossfire since I picked it up...though it only had 2,400+ miles on it when I bought it, it has been incredibly difficult to get a feel for the clutch and for smooth starts and shifts. I'd finally learned how to do it, but it required a very aggressive shift pattern.
Well, I searched the forum for Reset Throttle Response and found the link from HDDP which I performed several weeks ago. Due to business travel I hadn't had any chance to test the car until this weekend. As you've already described, it's like having a new car. Much smoother starts, quicker throttle response, and just a joy to drive. I loved this car before...we don't have a word to describe how I feel about it now. Thanks for your advice, and thanks to HDDP for posting the reset instructions.
