Transmission on 2.2 LT
#2
You know, I have questioned that a few times. I was driving yesterday, with the A/C on and it seemed to get sluggish for a moment. Gave it a little more gas and it perked right up. Don't know if it was tranny, fuel, or I was dreaming. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

just drove it
a/c just about always on in texas
initial findings, more to come
2.2 auto here
Regular driving
2nd- 3600
3rd- 3600
4th- 3600
foot in it all the way
2nd- 6300 to 6500
3rd- 6300 to 6500
4th- had to slow down cause i was in a 40 zone and already at 75 and hadnt shifted yet. i am going to see if they have a new blue and take pics and will tell you about 4th on the freeway
I gear
normal driving
2nd- 4300
3rd- 4300
4th- in I gear you do not shift to 4th. all shifts are hard and a lil more aggressive. down shifts are harder and more aggressive and rarely get below 2600
foot in it
2nd- 6300 to 6500
3rd- 6300 to 6500
same as regular w one exception. the shifts are harder and i will advise when i get back what the drop to rpms was while shifting in both I and D. i want to see what the drop is to when it changes

I haven't had any problems with my 2.2L 5spd at all. It runs great and has tons of power. Can even chirp the tires between gears. I'm sure the CGS and my lead foot testing it out had something to do with that.

using I gear hurts nothing just only uses the first 3 gears and will not get as good a gas mileage but performance is better. keeps you in the rpm zone.
i never seem to have this strugglilng problem
