stooge75 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 noticed a few times that when changing from,say 4th to 5th gear,if the revs are at 2k when putting clutch in,they'll stay at 2k for a few seconds. if i double clutch they'll come down slowly. very strange indeed. anyone got any idea's? ive been thinking along lines of clutch/aaccelerator sensor mechanism,but wanted to ask here 1st in case anyone's came across this before. only happens every now & then,but you know these motors,it'll end up happening more n more lol i know some fordds have this c*ap anti stall feature but it cant be that surely.also was thinking of clutch sensor.mmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppeter7 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 could be the clutch pedal switch faulty as its all drive by wire if you look up by the peddle you will see it tucked behind it with wires coming off it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelie600 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thats programmed into the ecu to hold the revs momentarily when changing gear. Apparently Ford cant trust us to change gear smoothly so they do it for us 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOCA Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thats programmed into the ecu to hold the revs momentarily when changing gear. Apparently Ford cant trust us to change gear smoothly so they do it for us The ECU also backs off the torque when the clutch is pressed, to give a smoother up-change, apparently, and stops you revving the engine hard with the clutch pedal in, so its difficult to slip the clutch when you want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOCA Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 i thought it was only the 2.2 with torque limiter The torque is restricted in 1st and 2nd on the 2.2 But on all mk3 TDCIs - the ECU also backs off the torque when the clutch is pressed, to give a smoother up-change, apparently, and stops you revving the engine hard with the clutch pedal in, so its difficult to slip the clutch when you want to Most modern cars have things like that on them (a kind of "big brother"/ nanny for your driving) - it also helps to protect the DMF/ Clutch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
