HELP Please. My 2009 CJ Lancer VR issue

Yea, I agree to brake while staying in gear is better. At least that's what my dad taught me 13 years ago haha. I'm trying to change that habit and still go to N when approaching red light without knowing it. This takes time.
 
A 500k CJ not impossible. Neither is 100k a year. All depends on how much driving you do. Reps, couriers, security patrols will clock it up easy.

The gear changing thing. I dont think Ive ever had it from N to 3rd. Ive had problems with 4th gear in both of them but never anything with 3rd that I can remember. Only be in neutral when the car is stopped. You can coast in gear and when your ready to move then shift into whatever gear you need to be in. 2nd is solid in the CJ and you got decent room to play with too. Use it to get you up to whatever speed you need to be at then put it into the gear it should be in to coast.

Do not shift down into 1st at 50k's in the CJ though. You will lunge forward and smash your head on steering wheel. 1st ends at around 50-55k depending on which MY you have.

I havent driven my CJ in ages :lol: The neutral thing you eventually grow out of it.
 
Guys, I finally found the AUX port but it does not fit my 3.5mm plug that I use to play songs from my iphone. There are 2 port which is a red and a white. Do I need to get a converter?

I was thinking of creating my own thread titled "My CJ" and I will slowly post the mods that I will do. :)
 
red and white sound like component cables? (dunno if right name)

To answer those ppl that ask why do I always go from N - 3rd is because:

I live in Flemington with a lot of traffic lights. I always come across red light and whenever I am preparing to stop, I put my gear to N and just use the brake. Sometimes before breaking but still in N, the lights turn green and I had to switch to 3rd in order to speed again. That makes sense yea?

This, I do it all the time in paramatta road, if you leave it in gear, you spend more time with your foot on the clutch that not. I just take off from the lights and put it in neutral and coast to the next ones, and wait, then take off, coast and wait, x100
 
^ its city driving, plus you save more fuel in nuetral. i dont see why so many people are against it...
not all our roads are like the RNP lol
 
Actually in neutral you use more fuel than if you were in gear when slowing down because when you're in gear it apparently uses no fuel at all. They did it on top gear once, so don quote me on this.

But even if you're off the accelerator whilst on gear, the revvs are still in the 1-3k range, whereas in neutral it is a minimum like 200rpm or something, so why I thought it would use more fuel.
If I'm wrong, correct me, you learn something new every day
 
Can't speak for the CEs, but I know the CJ doesn't inject fuel when you take your foot off the accelerator...

Do I have to plug in both red and white to convert to 3.5mm plug or can I just get a red RCA --> to 3.5mm?

And what's the red and white plugs for? Can I use it for other stuff instead of converting it to 3.5mm plug?

Hey Trondabron, so do you have problems going from N - 3rd gear like it will stuck a little or is it as smooth as going into other gears?

red and white is for left and right speakers. so if you only plug in one, you only get sound out of one side
