Hey guys,
edit: car = hpi rs4 evo3+
Im having issues with my 2nd gear, ever since I bought the car I haven't been able to hit 2nd gear AND I have issues with my idle.
Firstly,
2nd gear: I have taken apart the tranny and inspected it, according to the manual, to adjust 2nd gear early shift point is to fully tighten the grub screw in the hole that has the ball bearing and spring. Then, in 1/4 increments anti-clockwise turn 3 times. I did that probably around 10 times and no luck. I have had made sure the car was sufficient enough to reach high RPM to engage 2nd gear but no luck again. If I loosen the grub screw too much the tranny cover stops spinning due to the grub screw being too far out. Mind you, the grub screw once fully screwed in only has minimal space to adjust to engage 2nd gear. Any help or advice would be great...
Secondly,
Idle issues: I do not know what the hell is going on here, I have read so many topics and can't find a solution and tried so many things, like pinching the fuel line method, factory settings, I screwed the idle screw till it couldn't go any further and then did 1 and half turns back, I looked at my friends once. I also did changes by leaning on the HSN and LSN as well.
I am seriously lost....
Once the car turns on, its probably on 4,000 rpms, I have to press the brakes everytime. Please help.
And lastly, my last attempt on trying to engage 2nd gear from no good to worse, I tried accelerating and it would only rev only up to mid range, and then accerlation let go, and I did it again, it worked, and then cut out. Worse of it, I could smell something like if a fuse went out....not good....I tried to start it again, it turned on fine, and tried 3rd time and nothing atm...I will have to check again.
Sorry for the lengthy post, hope someone can help.
Thanks guys.
