    Default Rough idle 1st gear chatters

    12 RS SE5 Has rough idle and trans (1st gear) chatters (like gears not meshing ) when starting from dead stop. Have silicone hoses, load tested battery, oil level right. Runs great other than this. Saw the same issue on the site but it had no post as to what it was,or if it was fixed. Could these 2 issues be tied together? Thanks

    Well imho engine issues and trans. issues are two separate things. I'm glad to hear about the silicone hoses ( they could last forever ) .... how about the plug wires ??? ... it is well known the OEM wires deteriorate too quickly ..... BajaRon's are much better ( and less expensive ) .... can't help with the 1st gear chatter ( you do have proper amount and type of oil - right ? ) ...... good luck ..... Mike

    When my 09 RS did that putting new vacuum lines and Baja Rons plug wires took care of it.
