Today I turned off the Hill Start Assist, and the clutch feels much better. What I mean is that the engagement feels normal, no more of the vague, mushy engagement where you have to hope she doesn't stall cause the RPM's have dropped too low. I suggest everyone try it. It could be the placebo effect, but its worth a try.Thanks for your post. I have this thread flagged to my email. As soon as your post came in, that day, I switched my hill start assist off, before driving home from work. Now it has been a few days, this way. I gotta say, while my engine still is not what I would consider "right," I have not noticed the actual BUCKS and JERKS that usually come with prolonged, steady-pedal driving. So far, it does seem to be an improvement for me and you may be on to something! I hope it is not just the power of suggestion. In my case, the problem is sometimes better, sometimes worse; and there is no figuring what makes the difference. So, my jury is still kind of out on this. I will drive it a whole week without HSA and then switch back for a week and see if the problem gets worse again. But I have gone three whole days now where I could at least tolerate the way the thing runs, which is the first time I can say that in about 2400 miles! I am almost enjoying driving it, for a change. Let me know if yours continues to be good! Thanks again!
