Thanks for that. Yeh I have the button, have been using it in power and noticed it seems to shift better and a more definite TC lock up. It feels really spongy in eco, so from what you said I'm guessing that's normal in the VSs.The TC won't lock-up til you're settled (til the ECU deems you're settled) in 3rd or 4th. Sometimes if you're right on the shift point map it can feel undecided. Do you have a Power/Eco mode button? In Eco, 4th is set to 80, in Power, to 90. TC lock-ups are distinct in Power unlike Eco where it's just flappy and shithouse to be honest. IMO 80 is also too low for 4th on a stock VS, labours the crap out of it.
A decent chip (i.e. from MACE or TheOne) seems to sort the trans out nicely, and these days I never put it in Eco, especially given there's no actual fuel savings for me.
I agree that it (at face value) sounds like it just needs a professional flush and loving with a new filter and some decent fluid.
I think I'm gonna run it for a while and see how we go, sounds like its nothing to be too concerned about now that the fluid is fresh.
Might do a proper flush and filter change once I get some ramps (it's way too low to get under!).
