    Yeah....You gotta put that fist torque value back to stock....Everyone makes the mistake of maxxing it out....but...

    Many guys have messed with my tunes and then get stuck in 4th...(that's how I know he he..)...

    They usually call me blaming my 08 software update....but I know what they did...

    I had this problem but it was due to my stupidity. I was flashing in a tune at a track day when I was called to race. I cancelled the flash 1/2 way through and then drove to the line. I did the most awsome burnout but when I went to launch I discovere dit was stuck in 4th. Took me a while to work it out

    Very brave.....cut flash hafl way through on a T43. My experience was that they run in 3rd when they are dead. Does 4th mean they are half dead?

    Is this in the ECM (B0515 etc) or the TCM?

    Is the trans in limp mode to stay in 4th?

    Ta Chuck.

    So if my B0515/6/7 are all = No, and shifting from 1 thru 6 is AOK, we must be doing something right.

    Cheers.
