Hi guys,
Just wondering what sign this might point to, basically whenever you floor it in my TT soarer the transmission from first to second is beautiful and hit's the 7K mark before changing but from 2nd to 3rd it stutters on 6200 - 6300 for like 3 seconds before changing into 3rd. Could this be a sign that my tranny is on it's way out or could a simple flush solve this???

It's got an MV Automatics 1.5 shift kit. It's getting flushed this weekend, I'll get my soarer mechanic to check it over but yeah it revs it all the way out to 7K when under full throttle then changes usually. Yeah around 120-124 mark I think, just tested it out on the freeway tonight and it was doing that consistently.

the gap on spark plugs doesn't change- they don't wear. What are you talking about??? sometimes a too bigger gap will cause a misfire- most 1jz owners will run .7 to .8mm gap.

Well seems to be working perfectly since changing all of the spark plugs. I also had an oil leak from the gasket which was leaking into the spark plugs which also doesn't help. But problem is solved and gear shifts are perfect once again

See I'm using NGK BKR7E's what are you using Daniel? I'll give them a shot if they make that much of a difference since I'm getting the car tuned by Cihan in 2 weeks time, so want everything to be perfect

Well I just ordered some from the US via Ebay - $58 all up posted for 6 so will see how they go Reading up on it, apparently they are supposed to last longer but performance wise is marginal, I guess I'll find out for myself like you have Daniel. The fact that they last for double the amount of time is what I like. Hopefully I'll get the same results as you

I have the same problem on my V8, although the problem is between 1st and 2nd. I generally don't drive fast enough to test 2nd-3rd, but the problem definitely wasn't spark plugs. Most of my research has pointed to solenoids.

Rory did you end up swapping your spark plugs over? I had a similar issue a while back where my spark plugs looked perfect but actually had a crack inside of them, not something you would normally notice.
