Are you asking if the update can cause it to drop two gears or if it cures it?

OK, for those watching this thread, lets see who can work out the fundamental error in hoofingit's gearbox ECU change.

He changed the ecu in his 2.5TD for an ecu from a 2.5v6, yet it made no difference whatsoever, still acted the same, and the changepoints unaffected....

I'll post another clue up later :y

Confuse the gearbox ecu with the traffic master module?
