This was mentioned briefly on the "Factory Defects" thread so I decided to mention it in a thread of its own.

I have experienced a slight lag immediately after I shift into 3rd. Does anyone else experience this?

I'm thinking that maybe I am not winding 2nd gear out enough before shifting; I take it to about 23 mph.

What do you all think? Have you experienced this?

I'm pretty sure it's because your rpms arent' high enough.

I just went for a spin and payed special attention to this. A slight lag occurs shifting into 3rd only when going uphill with the AC on. It is only very slight. I think with these variables, this is to be expected.
