Hey all, I need experts.
Sometimes (hard to repeat), when I'm accelerating hard in 2nd gear, there is an abrupt stop/start to power delivery that lasts less than half a second. The engine tone doesn't change much, so it seems like it has to be something in the transmission. How bad a thing am I looking at?
1. Engine sound doesn't change except possibly to speed up a little, but it's such a fast glitch that I'm not sure. Anyway, I don't think it's an engine, fueling or electrical problem, but I'll entertain ideas if you disagree.
2. Chain and sprockets still look good. They're fairly new (10k ish) and high quality and the chain tension is correct.
3. I'll be checking the clutch at the next oil change, although I don't know how the clutch could cause an abrupt transition only in one gear.
4. I cannot reliably repeat it, and it only happens under specific circumstances. I think it happens at around 9k rpm, but I've only caught a glance at the tach once, so I don't know if that's always the same.
