ok missing something here.... has a hesitation when shifting...
so swapped the ecu thingy''
no change
pulled computer thingy tcu?????
not flash.....it has a faint high pitch noise coming from it when the ignition is on..
could or would this cause the trans to play up....
tps can cause it but usually that comes with a stalling and running like shit as well, she ideals and run wells...have been over the trans and bits about a dozen times and shes all hooked up properly....
thoughts anyone..
cheers
