Low power on acceleration / roughness at low rpm

Post by PCX2016 »

I have a 17 and it has a low power during acceleration. It also has a roughness during the very low end acceleration.
This is a separate post as I have isolated the problem. This may be a variator problem but I am not sure.

It could also be the clutch. Stop and go traffic can put a glaze on it. Put it in the shop and have them sand off the clutch pads, check/change the variator and rollers. You should be fine then.
