Hill start assist

Postby kylezx7r » Tue Jun 02, 2015 5:49 pm

Hi

Is there a way to disable or unplug the hill start assist without it effecting anything else?
I find it more of a hindrance than a help to be honest, I find easier on the clutch just to use the handbrake

In normal circumstances I would agree but I kept my 5 speed box and fitted a 3.71 axle so pulling away on a hill is slightly different now. The HSA works but tends to release before I've got the bite of the clutch so therefore I end up riding the clutch slightly.
