mine does both, but its hardly intrusive. you just get used to it after a while. the 'variant 1' shunt, where the gearbox is selecting 1st just before or as you come to a complete stop isn't that noticeable after a while. the 'variant 2' can be quite harsh, depending on how heavy you are with your throttle application. if you aren't quite stopped it will stay in 2nd, and won't be an issue, but if you have enough throttle % to make it select 1st, it does so with a pretty harsh change. i have heard of some guys getting it 'fixed' or 'improved' by a ZF tech. from what i understand though, it doesn't harm the gearbox or shorten its life in any way. also on the subject of the heat exchanger, i believe there was an updated one in the last couple of years but not sure when it was exactly. heard they were only about $150 but that sounds a bit cheap for a genuine product. looking at the poll, where's the 5 people that had problems. be good if they could share the symptoms they felt before hand, or what the actual problems were. |
