Transmission Problem...any ideas???
So i did a searhc and couldn't find anything. In any mode(lets say S for argument) if i accelerate hard from a stop car holds 1st until hitting the rev limitter and then their is a huge lag and and and then it shifts to 2nd...then every other shift is fine...
Ive tried rolling at a bout 15 mh and hammering it so it downshifts to first, but it then does the same thing and holds 1st until i slam the rev limiter...
It will oftne even chirp when it finally shifts to 2nd...

Don't know what's causing the problem. Try to reset the ECU with this trick:

Man, Falco you must have been typing fast! Too bad there's no spell checker. lol.
I tried the reset and it seemed to work for me. I don't think it's only for the 5 speed. Anyways, I hope everything goes well. If not, you got a warranty and hopefully it's a quick repair.

Falco Ive had the same prob with mine , some times it runs into governor with huge delay before shifting and then also chirps the tyres into second .
Only under flat out acceleration . Most of the times ive noticed the esp warning triangle come on when this is happening . Ive half desabled esp useing the dash button but it still some times does it .never tried dyno mode though .
its never don it under normal hard acceleraton only wen I floor it . I was thinking maybe there is a safety mesure to prevent us from shifting into second and spinning out of control , any way mine still in the shop power steering messed up PS be carefull wile doing doughnuts ive read a couple of posts in the c55 forum were there power steering packed up as well after doing doughnuts.
