what i found out so far is that my myvi will delay the shifting when at full throttle... i need to release the pedal for it to shift
On Full throttle the gear will delay shifting until attain higher speed....:driver:

My old 91 saga overhauled in 2004 still can do 150 kmh at 5000rpm in 5th gear. Bog standard, just been using syntethic oil since overhaul. the PCV valve hasnt clogged yet.

No i think the problem was caused because my s flow (jian hang) and mid swirl bullet (kent wong exhaust) both have the function of storing backpressure in the exhaust system n cause too many pressure in the exhaust system not allowing the pressure to exit smoothly n my rpm cant rise smoothly.... :burnout: if im correct la :biggrin::biggrin:
