Watcha mate! It happens between all gears and at all temperatures but only so far under severe acceleration......when I'm having a bit of a play.

But generally I find my 'box has a few foibles. It hunts backwards and forwards between 3rd and 4th when doing about 80mph on motorways......which is kind of annoying.

Also, it sometimes changes between 1st and 2nd with a bit of a thump which is why I bought the Shift Kit from smallcar.com.

Basically, my tranny is a delight in all gears just not so good swapping between them.

As the 'box was rebuilt recently could it be more of a ECU problem, something somewhere sending bad messages to the transmission?
No I dont think it is in the box, have you checked the throttle position sensor to see if it shows 0.5volts with the throttle closed. Have you fitted the shift kit yet? or is this happening without it.?

Harvey.
