came and did something magical last night.....
My gear changes seem to have dramatically improved, they have become much, much smoother! I have no idea what has happened, but it's GREAT!!!
Some crap must have shifted from somewhere
or something is about to break
My biggest bug bear with the car was the box, now I'm actually quite impressed!

I sometimes find that the gearshift improves after the batt has been disconnected for 90 seconds or so. It clears any codes and as far as i know it resets the 'learning facility' of the gearbox, taking it back to standard settings.
As for your box, i have no idea. Just enjoy it, but keep an eye on it.

I notice differences due to weather conditions. Will this be the info the 'box gets from the mafs?

Box was serviced in December last when I had the sump replaced.
