Anyone with an Ar25 box find 2nd to 3rd gear change when crawling in slow traffic a pain where ; if it changes up to 3rd at the same as lifting off the throttle  as it were I get this DOOF sound (only way I can describe it) almost as if it gets confused whether it should be changing up or down (ECU has been upgraded to v.10) may well be normal but God is it annoying!!

Hi, I had the same problem, I got the autobox software updated and it has been a lot better since, might be worth giving it a go.

Hi mate, had it upgraded to version. 10 a while back and as you say it has improved it but is still there, 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd are always ok in traffic, probably just another thing I'll have to put up with with these damn cars, God I need to win the Lottery  and get a proper well built car!!

Didn't the guys who nearly went to Wales all have theirs upgraded to V9 ??  and there was a comment (can't find it now) that there was no version 10 yet ??  

or am I having a "senior moment"  .. ??  

Edit .. found half of what I remember ...

Hi Chaps
If I may make a small suggestion, I spend a fair bit of time in slow, stop start traffic going up a steep hill, and this annoyed me. So what I do is to press the sport button, as I am sure you are all aware it holds it longer in each gear.
It is not a cure, but makes my life a little bit easier, and costs nothing to try. Hope it may help.

Best Regards

Mike

i sometimes do that Mike and you're right it does help, also find depending on how slow the traffic flow is I select 2nd gear so that it only changes from 1st to second.

Mine used to do it before a SW update

Try an oil change too

i have put id down to shher bad timing.....ill explain

Just as the box decides to change up you drop the throttle, it then gets confused and goes for the original option, but as you are slowing down it seems to have a dragging effect and so makes a loud clunk, once it has changed up it then changes back down again and so sounds like it is confused as it is cog swapping

My 2.2 does the same......i just put it down to bad timing.....ie ive altered the throttle position at the same time as it decided to change.

Dunno if your does this as well.......Go up a moderately steep hill steady throttle postion....the box decides to change from 2nd to 3rd.....a sec later it realises this was a mistake and changes back to 2nd!

 Taxidriver, mine used to do that even up a less than moderate slope and thrash it's nuts off until on the downward slope, since the V.10 gearbox upgrade it doesn't do that anymore, what version software does yours have?

V10....

[Taxi_Driver]

The other annoying thing it does......is floor it on uphill slope....then level out....it can be reving at 4-5k revs.....it wont change up until i release the accelarator....even tho its doing 4-5k revs on level ground and not increasing in speed.....take my foot off.....it changes up then i can apply the power again

There is a V0A (v10), released around the turn of the year...

That's what mine was doing before the v.10 upgrade, strange why yours is still doing it with the same upgrade.
The Boy , when you say VOA (v.10) what is the VOA bit ?
