having been in several T's with ESS, there is no 5






EDIT: i stand corrected. never noticed the "5" and didnt know it was a torque lock

I actually found it amazing that Tickford would give you the option to put it into "5" on the move like they do. I would have thought that after 100,000 hard kms of ESS use, that a modded T3 would have killed the lockup clutch in the converter, they are not exactly robust.

Still, it is a nice (read: gimmicky) feature to play with, being able to lock it into 4th with converter lockup and climb moderate grades without annoying kickdowns.

I have a suggestion sell yours and buy a TS easier and less headache's...

Yeah, seems like a TONNE of work for not a lot of gain.

Will not buy another car... and the "gain" i get isnt important... i just want the wow factor more than anything... so i might see if i can make a manual gear change over-ride utilising a modded shiftkit...

Agreed Daniel a hell of alot of work.

Been given some more info and a Tiptronic setup would not only suit the interior mods, but be easier...
