1600 miles smoother?

[BlkonBlk]

Im posting this thread to ask you guys with some miles on your smarts, I now have 1600+ and to be truthfull the car has smoothed out alot as far as bumps and the shifting weather its me or the car has gotten alot smoother, lets hear from you other guys on this issue

the first 1200 mile on mine was fairly rough. the tranny started to shift faster around 800 miles and it's as smooth as I would be with a clutch now. suspension probably hasn't changed.. i think it rides smoother now, but every now and then it feels bumpy, so it's probably just my perception. They say the the tranny may be my perception too... but from several years of working on engines and transmissions, I'd say that it's not just me... the tranny seems to have a break-in period. I don't think it 'learns' the way you drive... I think that it's just a design set for the break-in period in the way the shifts are managed. And it dosen't matter if you lift your foot off the throttle or not when it shifts, so I don't bother. learned that early on too.

its probably the break in period, it feels better after some milage, usually around 1kish

Check your tire pressure; they may be getting soft.

My TPMS warning came on today, my tires are 5 lbs lower than they were 3 months ago. I pumped 'em up with the compressor... that sucker's almost as loud as the one at the gas station. We'll see if the tires hold pressure... I think they will, 'cause they're both down by the exact same amount.


Check your tires after a few months, weekly is best. Don't rely on the TPMS warning.
