Hey guys

My problem is that when im in 5th at about 40 mph my VTS struggles to even get above 50mph, 1,2,3,4 all fine but when im in 5th and i put my foot to the floor i sometimes feel no response. This is only happening sometimes, i could come to an absolute stop then speed up through the gears and then no problems at all, pretty confused on what the problem could be, cheers,

5th wasn't designed for good acceleration @ 40mph lol.

Uses more fuel struggling low in revs too. Drop that gear and get those revs up.

i know what you mean, she just doesnt feel right atm. Even when i come to a stop on a slight hill with clutch out and handbrake down my car doesnt start rolling down the hill, just feels like something is restricting the wheels or god knows.

Why haven't you checked your handbrake yet??

Go for a decent drive, pull up and touch the wheel. If it's warm then the brake is sticking.
