Engine Braking

Post by antodeco »

Hey all, quick question. The engine braking on my GT seems too excessive. In low speeds taking my foot off off the pedal actually feels like I've hit something it is that hard and jolts stop nearly.

Any way I can fix this quickly or is it something more?

Thanks

Excessive play in the diff can make the transition from accelerating to braking very harsh. Jack up one front wheel and with the car in gear rotate the wheel back and forth to see how much play there is.

Thanks Woody. It's only at low speeds thankfully, but very annoying!
