I wasn't even going that fast because the police station was right next to me. the gear suppenly poppoed out of 2nd and i thought i blew a cylinder or a valve. Yes it was that loud, the RPG7 sounds about right. but the engine kept running and i put it in 3rd and it was all okay again. Never had that happen ever since the first time.

: Thank goodness someone else have this problem too. I thought for a while I was the only twat with that problem.
: I also drive very hard and had experienced this quite frequently. It feels like the clutch is slipping. First I thought that I didn't release the clutch all the way (driving error), but after making sure that I release the clutch all the way I still experienced the feeling of the clutch slipping (with ASC off) obviously. It may also feel like the ASC is not switched off completely ?? Another thing, the other day driving hard in second the second gear jumped out !!! It felt like a RPG7 hitting the car. Man, that was so load and gave me a shock. Ever happened to you ??
: Sorry, I don't know the answer, I was considering changing the clutch for starters. Keep ye posted if I find out.
