Me again with more, no doubt, stupid questions.
I've been looking about and learning as much as possible as I prepare for the arrival of a 4200 CC but I'm getting slightly conflicting information regarding the gearbox.
1 - Can someone categorically tell me if the gearbox in the 2002-2003 cars can be 'reprogrammed' to behave like a late 2003-on car?
2 - Are the internals the same?
3 - Once 're-flashed' does it behave in exactly the same way as the later models? IE smoother, less jerky changing.
I've been filtering out all the cars from early 2003 thinking they can't have the gearbox re-flashed but I've read a thread on here saying they can be .
I've been out in a 52 plate car and although it was very 'different' to what I'm used to, coming from a full manual, it didn't seem so bad and as I'd be on my own in it most of the time who cares!
