    Hi guys I installed my wot box and I followed all the steps in nishans video, did the verification steps he listed. I am currently having an issue when I shift from 3rd to 4th and I’m trying to do a no lift shift, the gear doesn’t catch quickly at all. Kind of feels like the clutch is slipping, or maybe the wot box isn’t returning spark quick enough? The RPMs stay high at about 7k but it doesn’t grab for a while. I did put the ms a little higher than nishan did because I doubt I can shift as quick as him anyone have experience with that here? Don’t wanna keep trying and blow my clutch. I have an ACT kit, not the 6 puck.

    My mods are 3.5 intake
    Cst4 turbo
    Port injection on E50 tuned by will

    Like you get it into gear but then it is slow to grab? Or it is just hard to get into gear?

    Shifts fine, when I’m flat foot shifting it feels like it takes to long for clutch to engage almost like it’s slipping . Kind of acts like it’s slipping so I’m reluctant to keep doing it. I have the settings set to a little lower to what nishan suggested In his wot box video.
