Hi everyone! i got a f reg auto tt. Now the gear seems to be holding for too long sometimes upto 5k then throws the next gear in so that your neck almost snapps! when accelerating hard this doesnt happen!

The other problem is when accelerating from 0 i get a funny shudder for about 1/2 seconds then all is well!

So please any advice will help lots and bare in mind im new to this motor so details of checking levels etc need explaining! yes im a bit dumb too!

Thortle position sensor, little black box on the right side of the intake plenum. If its an import make sure you got the switches and stuff for the autobox set in the positions you want to drive in.

Right! that great fellas! cheers!

So just to check! the sticky gear things could be the ecu needs resetting or the TPS

In which case are both the things easy to do??

MAny thanks once again!

Errrrm, To reset the ECU's disconnect the battery for about half hour... I think :rolleyes: The TPS is a bit more complicated, youll need a multimeter thingy to do it right. Do a search for TPS.

The ECU reset is easy and best to do first. Remove the negative battery terminal and leave it off for at least an hour, see what the car is like after that.

 

Adjusting the TPS is trickier, you need a multimeter to check the voltage across two of the pins, or someone nice with a ConZult diagnostic tool could check and adjust it for you if you put a shout out for free beers ;)

 

Start with the ECU reset though :) And check (if its an import) that the Power/Hold rocker switch by the gear shifter is in the middle position.
