.................

you might wanna try and reset the ecu caws when it goes for the next service chances are these guys are gonna be able to look and see what the error code was.

u can do that(reset it) :) really thinks its worth it? how likely are they to run a diagnostic....

dunno but from what I gather they try to get out of the warrenty contract if they can. Resetting it I think you have to physically disconnect it for something like 15 minutes but again I don't have any direct experience.

You would probably have to discharge/unhook the back up battery (like computer ones) They can last for weeks :/

 

But i don't know how ECU cmos works :)

nah 15 mins will be plenty. there nothing in there it needs to save, its all ROM.

That is unless your box is completely f@$ked in the ass.

 

I suppose if this was true then every single Toyota box I've ever driven on has been completely f@$ked in the ass.

my old 5 speed box (the one i raped 2nd gear in) used to do it.....couple of times i was selecting 4th to downshift and accidently just touched Reverse.

 

it lets you know about it thats for sure.

i don't think i've ever driven a manual car where you CAN'T pick reverse while you're moving. or at least try to grind grind grind - that's why they're in a box! :)

 

my current 5 speed gets pretty grindy when you try do flatchanges at 8000rpm to 2nd. i usually have to back off and wait till the needle falls below 7000rpm, damn worn synchros :P i really should put some oil in that thing hey haha

I don't think you've heard grindy till you heard my old gearbox, I wanted to have some more fun with it before I took it out, Would have loved to tried to master rev matching, too scared to do it to my new box though, I want this one to last :P
