Twin Clutch SST questions
Hello there, 2009 Ralliart.
Just a couple of questions.
Is it normal for my transmission to sputter a couple of times while starting from a dead stop, uphill?
Is it alright if I shift into reverse and the reverse light blinks a few times before it lets me reverse?
Keep in mind both of these have only happened a handful of times. I've had the car for about a year. Regular maintenance done. 80,000 miles.
SOMETIMES it feels like it takes a second for my transmission to catch gears, even on a flat surface, but it's not enough to scare me, just a little concern.
Thanks.

Far as transmission sputtering? If your talking about like it surging or doing the herky jerky movement, seems kind of normal for SST transmissions(to me it feels like driving a manual and not engaging the clutch at the right moment?).
I'm sure someone with way, way more knowledge on the SST can chime in on that issue.

Was told I was shifting into R too quickly and to shift into D first then into R (if it kept happening)
OP, when you say Regular Maintenance when was the last time you changed your tranny fluid?

One thing I've noticed is that the SST really likes the car being put into R with absolutely no drivetrain movement possible, ie. park brake on, or brake pedal properly applied. Mine will do the beeping, flashing-R thing if I've tried to put it into reverse without having the brakes holding everything totally immobile.

I haven't really had the transmission sputter while stopping happen... but i can tell you that I have had the reverse light flashing at me when i throw the car in reverse. Keep in mind, I had to get a brand new transmission because mine went out at about 41K. Car currently has 49K now. Seems pretty normal to me.

I did not have either of these issues with my old or new transmission. I have not seen many with similars issues either. Sounds like its time to take it to the stealership and hope the fix whatever the issue is under warrnaty.
