Weird 2nd gear question: sluggish

[pmgoce]

Hello all,

I have a question, when i throw my car in 2nd (6 spd mt) to turn, it accelerates really slow and seems sluggish, anyone else have this problem?
Could it be the life of my clutch? it doesnt seem to be slipping. My car also seems very slow. no power, what test should i do?

do you guys think im possibly on limp mode?

What tune do you have if any and have you scanned it for any codes? You have to also realize it depends on the exit speed in your turn could you be the wrong gear; moreover I wouldn't expect much in 2nd gear but that is just my 2 cents.

I had that experience before when I had a plugged/clogged cat that I was not getting much power. I could not accelerate much when around 2k or below.. I had to wait till I got to 2200-2400 rmp to accelerate. After replacing my cat. It had a huge improvement.

I brought it into a shop to find out why car was sluggish. They pulled code and it pointed to a clogged CAT. Maybe you can have your codes checked.
