Pete Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Not that I'm aware. (I own one) Only issues are with speed delimiting. There is no satisfactory way to do it on the VVTi Tip - the problem is it'll attempt to kick down a gear if you full throttle over 130mph... consider it doing that at 150+ and it's not good for the box. You shouldn't be doing those speeds anyway except on a track, but if you're tracking it you're better off with a 6spd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
