#57 of 143 Re: Engine revving up when shifting manual transmission [hsipes] by anahita61 Mar 17, 2007 (12:56 pm)
Replying to: hsipes (Mar 14, 2007 7:23 am) This is my fifth day with my new Fit MT, and the only weirdness I'm noticing with shifting is when I put it in 5th gear, just before I let go, there's this vibration in the gear shift. It's not in any of the other gears, so I'm not sure what it's about. It doesn't seem to hurt anything, and maybe I'm not letting go fast enough, I really don't know. I hope it's not harmful...   I drove my MT Tercel for 22 years, and the shifting is pretty different on the Fit. Totally different feel really. I have only stalled trying to get into first, and once was taking my boss on a little drive! Embarrassing, but he's a good sport and didn't make fun of me at all. The car behind me honked, which was not a good time.   I think your revving is your lead foot, as you say, but I'd like to know if anyone else experiences the vibration in the gear shift when they let go after shifting into 5th.

Replying to: fitluver (Mar 17, 2007 7:57 am) "Drive by wire" means that instead of a mechanical linkage from the gas pedal to the engine/carburetor, you now have an electronic link; with no direct connection. I have observed that the gas pedal is VERY sensitive, and the lightest of pressure causes the engine rpm to increase...therefore, if I do not totally lift my size 13 "leadfoot" from the pedal, then I get a "rev" between shifts. Maybe that's what we're experiencing! Technology marches on!!! Replies to this message: fitluver (Mar 26, 2007 6:15 pm)

Replying to: fittman (Mar 15, 2007 3:54 pm) Well, I feel better now I know I am not the only one. I was worried this may affect my mileage, but I got 40.3 mpg at my first fill up. I will inquire more at the dealer when I get my first oil change and reply back with my findings.   Thanks,   Henry

I am seeing it repeatedly in my daily commute, and always at the same points and times.   I drive a variety of terrain weekly, and find it to occur often when turning and on some hills. Sometimes I am going up, sometimes I am going down.   I cannot figure it out.   I have to cut myself some slack, in that I am still learning how to drive this car.   The mileage is going back up but if it slips again, I am going to have to turn my radio down and work on driving it well/better.
#61 of 143 What is that sound? by fitluver Mar 29, 2007 (6:49 pm)
I get the same sound at the same points in the commute. I do not know if I should be concerned. I have never had drive by wire throttle, nor have I had antilock brakes and I am not sure if that is tied in with that slight rev.   It sounds like an engine readjustment of some type but I am not sure.   I have a MT and sometimes I am speeding up, others slowing when the sound occurs. The only thing that seems to be common is that it makes the rev when I am on changing road surfaces (going over a grate, going from gravel to pavement, that sort of thing.)   Anyone know anything about this?   It may be nothing, or just normal part of the throttle or braking system, but it would help to know.   Thanks in advance.

#65 of 143 Pardon my computer glitch by fitluver Apr 01, 2007 (5:13 pm)
Replying to: fitluver (Mar 29, 2007 6:49 pm) Pardon my computer glitch and 3 identical posts.   So, about that revving sound.   Is it the drive by wire throttle?

Replying to: fitluver (Mar 29, 2007 6:49 pm) Are you running your AC? It's been pretty warm here in Kentucky for March. I have been running my AC and noticed the compressor coming on and off.   Henry Replies to this message: fitluver (Apr 03, 2007 7:12 pm)
