cheers, bob

Bob, I've been getting this in 5th gear too occasionally (aswell as 3rd/4th).

I always seem to be hitting this problem in 3rd/4th (maybe its my style of driving) but its driving me mad.

Would fitting something like an AVC-R get around this problem ?

Any known 'ecutek' tweaks to get round it ?

Or am I resigned to the fact that ultimately I have to put up with it, or change the ECU for an alternative brand.

Thanks
