Omega General Help / Gearbox - whether to get it upgraded...
« on: 09 November 2008, 06:58:17 »
All,
Here's some feedback on a recent gearbox upgrade. I took the car over to TheBoy a few weeks ago for a general Tech2 checkover and upgrade. The whole job took around half and hour, and the upgrade has revolutioned the drive.
Beforehand, the car was pretty smooth but it sometimes dropped into top gear with a bit of a thump and also needed a bit too much gas to get it away from standstill. The 'overtake' change down also seemed to be a little too long and harsh. None of that anymore! It's amazing what a change in the software can do, my car feels as if it's got a new gearbox. The changes were noticeable straight away, silky smooth pulloff and changedown with no thump going into top.
I drove the car home via A and B roads and loads of roundabouts in MK and it was brilliant. The gear changes are more when I want them and much smoother, especially when pulling away, and coming back onto the gas from the brake.
If you've been wondering whether it's worth getting your gearbox upgraded, stop wondering and get it booked in! You'll love the difference.
