Default Re: Hairy McScary - Power Shrift attempting 3rd to 1st downshift

Thanks Goz,

No worries, as above, not in a hurry, and won't bug him until I'm on track to go ahead.

Regarding the Trans, of course, I jinxed it. Had another changedown today, while driving in TipTronic mode. They always take me by surprise, and this one happened in the most dawdling slowdown you could imagine. I wasn't logging and only have FS Demo in my phone, but didn't find any DTCs -that's the norm. I've only seen two.

Is it possible that this is caused by a blocking synchro - if that's what it's called? I've experienced the odd manual gearbox that got stuck in the synchro stage, and wouldn't go into gear until you released the pressure and tried again. Like, it's got the other shaft up to speed, but has stopped in a position from which you can't mesh with the dogs. Does that still happen?
