Wierd Problem With My P5!!!

[banned bandit]

i've had a weird problem happening to my P5 lately with the hot weather....it seams that when i have the a/c on for 30 min or more my clutch petal will go stiff and my shifter will stiffen up to the point where i can't shift into any of my gears. As soon as i turn off my a/c for a minute i can shift again. also if i turn the car right off i can shift into gear no problem, but if i start her up imediatly (sp) she stiffens right up again where i can't shif into gear. If i let the car sit for 5 min its fine. ....WTF?

any idea's before i goto the dealer?

Weird.

Turning on the A/C will increase the engine's rev's at idle.

You might also be encountering the engine heating up more than usual. The manual states that you should keep an eye on the temp gauge when the A/C is engaged. How this affects the clutch and shifter, I don't know.

I've never had the same problem you described, then again, I've never had my A/C on for more than 30 min. IN TOTAL since I got the car end of April!

So it was hot in Ottawa huh? That's where my car had to be shipped in from.
