Getting a shudder in 2nd when the revs build up, which means i have to change to 3rd abit sooner.

Does anyone have any tips?

Sorry if this sort of thread already exists but i didnt knw whether it was the same as the others.

Nope, never heard of thread like that before

JTD should rev to the red line very smoothly.

How high can you rev it in 3rd then?

Not too sure, wont be able to check till 2moz nite, but i think it goes pritty high. There nothing wrong with any other gears, its just in 2nd it judders when im about to change gear.

If i accelerate even more in 2nd it stops.

Btw this only happens when the car is cold, when it warms up and gets to optimum temp, the judders stop.

If the problem goes goes once the engine is warm then you've kinda answered you're own question - keep the revs down until it's warm

It's possible the ECU is not happy about your driving style

Any heater plug warnings ?

Hahah aint changed my driving style so dont see y its started hapening a year later after buying it haha.

Nope no warnings

Could be mechanical? Check your gearbox oil level....

Well the car is now fixed

Your proberly wondering how i fixed it and answer is it fixed itself

I love it when that happens

so the piece of gear that was hanging off is now in the bottom of your gear casing??

Haha. All ive done 2day to my car is put the battery cover back on
