My Kyosho v one rrr runs great. Occasionally though when applying power it suddenly stops pulling (as if the clutch disengages). and the motor revs up to redline. I have to let off the throttle and then it catches again and starts pulling. Car runs fine and then halfway down the straight it's just spinning. I have replaced the shoes on the clutch but the problem persists. Sometimes it does it right at the shift point to second gear. I have replaced the shoe's for 2nd as well and I have adjusted the spring tension in the clutch allowing to to engage earlier. What could be the problem?

clutch needing replaced, very common on all manuals

pedal travel adjustment,yes
gear shift adjustment,no

SOURCE: open throttle to full. clutch wont enegage for 3 to 4 seconds

Try a new belt, it may look fine but can be polished and have no grip left.

SOURCE: transmission issues (I think)

Use a engine scanner to pull codes, If none it sounds like the lock-up torque converter may not be disengaging at idle. Or you have a idle air control valve or TPS going bad, then repair codes by replacing failed sensor or shift control solenoid as needed. If no codes are present your transmission could have a internal failure. It's also been know that oil transmission fluid in the system will have a higher fluid retention causing the 2nd gear solenoid to stick causing the transmission to stay in second till the line pressure rises and drops back to first with a hard shift. Keep me posted be glad to get your transmission running again.

This is what my 04 Kia Rio is doing exactly. I was told that the TCM and Shift Solenoid "C" is faulty. Am trying to figure out how to go about fixing that without paying more than the car is worth. My tech checked with the local Kia dealership and the TCM new is I think around $700. You also have to buy the program to tell this high dollar part what to do and that is right at $100. I have found that sometimes if I let the car warm up and then keep hitting the overdrive button, eventually it starts shifting correctly.
