Been noticing lately that my B13 tends to lose power (or hesitates) when ever the gear changes from 2nd to 3rd. Mine is an auto transmission.
It is more noticeable when accelerating from stop while gently pressing the gas pedal. The car will start to move and you would notice the gear changing from 1 to 2. From 2 to 3, there is a slight loss in pickup power (like the gears were in neutral for a second while the pedal was pressed) before being engaged. This is also noticeable when taking a corner. No jerking motion was observed. RPM looked ok and was not seen to dip serverely during this power loss.
Could this be a sign that the clutch is wearing off?
anyone else have this problem and what was done to solve it?
