Hesitation in 3rd?

[lacmackenzie]

Has anyone experienced a slight hesitation in 3rd gear after the VTEC swithover point. It still seems to pull pretty good, the power just doesn't feel as linear as 1st, 2nd and 4th. Any comments?

I'm not sure if it's the same deal but I noticed that when I shifted to 3rd while in VTEC it didn't feel quite the same when shifting into other gears like say..... I launch off the line and hit VTEC in 1st and it's awesome, very nice power jump, shift to 2nd and there's still an awesome power pull, then I shift to 3rd and it's not the same feeling as 1st and 2nd, it still pulls but I can actually feel a drop in power when shifting into 3rd, and I haven't really noticed anything when shifting to 4th. Now I didn't notice the power drop as much if I shift to 3rd after going to like 9k in 2nd, but a typical 8k-8,400k into 3rd from 2nd I do notice a srop in power like it's not pulling into 3rd like it did into 1st and 2nd.

considering we only have 195 horses once it gets to third gear it wont feel like 1 st and 2nd gear. unless u have more power.

somehting mite be wrong with ur fuel or spark if it hesitate at 3rd gear

1st and 2nd gear pulls really hard , 3rd gear is the closest to 1:1 ratio so its a little slower, 4th gear even slower and 5th gear take a super long time.
