in the auto. has anyone else experienced this or no why it is happening. could it be something to do with the computer? any advice would be great as the gears
are getting changed again because they came out of another car and are noisy.
trying to decide between putting standard gears back in or forking out 500 for a new set

what other mods are done to the car?
for a stockish car, diff gears won't make a MASSive difference.
where as for a car with cam/headwork etc, where the power comes on later then it did when stock, the diff gears help the car get to its peak power band, something a stocker may not need *quite* as much.
