Often calms the fans down a bit, FL climate fans can be a bit "anxious" ;D

If it doesn't annoy you, keep your money in your back pocket ;).  I'm also dubious if the 3.2 TCM is worthwhile, unlike the 3.0 ones...   ...any 3.2 owners care to comment?

The fans are willfully disobedient.  But then I've only ever found one climate control system that I don't consider to be completely useless across 10s of vehicles so maybe I have unrealistic expectations :-\

The autobox doesn't know whether it's coming or going on gentle/mid gradients around 30-40mph.  Would like to remedy that if possible.

The shift points are slightly different with the update on a 3.2 auto. But nothing massive. Re gradients the car will alter shift points depending on up or downhill, so the car doesn't run away downhill, or bog down on uphill sections.

...if its any more severe a problem than that, you might be looking at a faulty gear box ecu, although that's more common on the 2.6's going by AA's and another members posts recently....? Only one way to find out though I guess.

Cc update does calm the fans down from paranoid to ....slightly more chilled out ;)
