Well, I knew the car went to have the TCU looked at on Saturday and I was dreading calling CT this morning. It hit 10:30 and my phone was vibrating with a Chester number.
...gulp...
It was Steve calling to let me know the car is done and is all working properly! When it got to the TCU place, they looked at the software and could tell there was something a little odd with the adaptation. It was only a short call, but as far as I could tell, the adaptations were wrong and a re-flash cured the issue. I'll know more when I pick it up.
I'm trying to make arrangements to pick the car up this Friday and I can get started on the rest of the list of things to do on it.
One funny thing happened during the call when Steve mentioned that he thought the car was chipped. I circled back to the topic and asked what made him say that because, as far as I knew, the car was running a standard ECU. It certainly drove no differently than the other one I tested and the torque is still pretty high in the rev-range, which I understand the chips are most focussed on changing. He replied that he thought the car was "very, very responsive". I think that might be code for him giving it the beans on the drive back.
I'll keep you posted about what it feels like on the drive home, but here's hoping it's finally an end to the gearbox trauma.
