As for the gearbox resetting if you disconnect the battery for an hour.....?????? that's also new to me. Are you suggesting that the Spider box can adjust when an Auto gearbox makes changes?

There's obviously more to the Spider Boxes than I was aware

Next I'll be hearing that these things sharpen up the steering!

I think what SJ is suggesting is that the ECU will know something has changed as it gets lots of feedback from the engine/exhaust sensors and it could well change its own settings as a response to the different signals it is seeing.

As for the gearbox an explanation would be great
