Lazy Gearchange 4200

[Yeti]

Have had a bit more work done on Red Shed including a new exhaust by PD Gough in Nottingham who have done a fabulous job. Car now sounds like a 70's Le Mans race car...

Have also had a full service done by Shiltech and am much happier that the car is sound. However, I still have a lazy gearchange/throttle response. It feels as if I have a flat spot on the throttle and clutch slip. Shiltech tell me I still have 60% of my clutch but when cold, it really does feel as if the clutch is slipping.

I have heard that the old 3200 could have the throttle reset by use of magic, but have not found the definitive answer. Any thoughts?

You need the PIS point setting to 4.5 as a starting point and make sure the car does not move at idle.

It might be your clutch position sensor giving a false reading so don't be afraid to keep going lower with the PIS point.

Try a battery reset then go out and spank it, the relearn may help somewhat.

If its slipping and you have sufficient plate left, you may have fluid on the plate of the flywheel is hot spotted/burned or it could be the start of spring tang failure.

How does one set the PIS point?

Bugger, thought it might be. Best of it is I asked Shiltech to check all this for me but am not convinced it was done. Lot of confusion at the time of the service and car was being punted from one mechanic to another so I may have to call down and have them look at it.
