Just out of interest what happens when the 4 speed is coupled to the S?
I do not have a lift and don't fancy handling 150kg gearbox on the drive lying under car, even manual box with half a weight was a bit of struggle. Paying someone else blows the shoe string budget straight away just removing and refitting without doing anything to the box.

Don't know about 4 speed but would need at least box, rear diff and TCU and shifter not realy worth trying unless already had a donor car.


I need to do a bit more testing and research to see if it's worth draining oil and removing pan to have a look inside. I don't understand why is it showing fault code for gear 3 just as you start moving off in the 1st. Also it should go in 4th not 5th as it does in limp mode. just need to study behaviour and have a best guess at what is the most likely fault which will then determine if it's worth poking around without removing box. I guess it would not hurt to at least check oil level but as it seems to work fine in 5th oil is probably OK.
