Hey I don't know what is wrong but when i rev up from first gear and then go to second, most of the time it feels really choppy, almost like the feeling of under reving but i'm at like 4-5k revs. I've only noticed it on second and it only happens when i'm trying to go fast. Is it something to do with the clutch or gearbox? Cheers YoyoZ |

First to second is a big drop in revs compared to the other gears. Try being more deliberate with your clutching and movement of the gear stick. |

Sorry, by gearbox does that mean engine oil. (i feel stupid asking this but i'm so sure i saw somewhere someone telling me that it was the same thing...) if yes, i did it less than 10k ago and wil do when i hit 10k again... Otherwise, no idea at all... |

Will more than likely be old gearbox oil that causing this. Get down to your local BNT & pick yourself up some Redline MT-90. Myself & Jeremy can vouch for how good this stuff is. It makes gear shifts so smooth. |

DIY.. Like engine oil change but more of a pain! Jack it up, undo drain plug over a container, replace when drained then fight the fresh oil into the side plug. (says he who has never done it on Greeneyes!! )That's standard for all the cars I HAVE done! I often use a length of garden hose with a funnel stuck in the top so I can fill it from the engine bay. In a garage they will do it on a hoist and use a pump to fill it, so its all shit-easy and cleaner. |

DIY -> http://z4.invisionfree.com/lexusaltezzaclu...?showtopic=8384 You'll need a 24mm ring spanner to get the filler plug open as there's not enough room to get a socket over it. Also doing it on the ground wont be fun. I have access to a hoist & oil pump so it was dead easy. At the end of the day it might be easier to pay someone to do it if you don't have the right tools. |

Thanks for that and yes, i'll prob follow ur advice of getting someone to do it. Hey what is a full service? does it include things like Gearbox oil and MAF? hear its abour $3-400. Is it worth it? (if you don't know what you are doing...) |
