You may be able to manually select 5th gear but it's the electronics that will decide if the shift takes place.

As I said earlier (although the 8 speed) it will change, when doing manually it sort of takes it out of auto for a time.
When that times out it then goes back to auto mode, and could potentially just change down again.
We only notice it when towing, and without breaking the speed limit have to change it manually. It will then hold it and be fine but any slight extra load and it will drop a gear.

I was not offended by it. But have a look at the second comment. Then the third comment, the fourth comment, the fifth comment, the six comment etc.

But if you want to call it banter then everything that I have said back to you guys is just banter.

When I call you guys idiots for saying really dumb things or for trying to play a game of gotcha questions it's just banter.

Why are you getting offended by my banter?

You were the one saying to were offended !!

Most of us just want you to go ahead and do it & report the outcome after the trip.

I was not offended by one word, I was offended by a whole series of attacks over several days by many people.

The point was that the belittling started from the very beginning from the very first word.

If that word had been the only thing that had been said in a patronizing way, then I would never have responded in the way that I did.

I didn't even notice the word at first, it was only when I looked back that I realized that the first word said was patronizing.

The one word itself was not offensive, it was the entire tone of multiple comments.

I don't care what most of you want me to do, why would I?

Why would I care about a bunch of people that have done nothing but attack me and ignore what I say (or even worse twist what I say into gotcha comments) when they have no actual knowledge of the situation, as proven by their ridiculous comments?

So I don't care what you want.

Which is why I will either do it or not, and if I do it I will not come here to tell anyone how it worked out, because I don't care about you.

And if I did come back here no matter what happened, I am sure that there would be multiple people telling me that I was lying or criticizing me by picking apart every single word that I said looking for gotcha moments.

But I guess you think that what you want is so important that I should be giving into it?

Anyway thank you for one more gotcha comment that failed.

Please feel free to troll through everything that I have said here and try to find something else that you can catch me out on, but fail again.

Because remember, this place is not for people to ask technical questions about their car and get valid answers, it is about a bunch of egotistical losers trying to put someone down to make themselves feel better.

"This" was the first word if I remember correctly.
Anyway, have you swapped the diffs yet?

 

[Datatek]

So many words with so little meaning plus a one month trip in view. Must be retired or a politician to have that amount of spare time. If retired, then from an age when swapping bit on cars was a simple thing to do. Not so now with all the interlinked electronics controlling what happens.

You are right it was the seventh word, it was the first sentence that ended with it.

That fundamentally changes everything, oh wait it doesn't, it makes no difference, and here we have another gotcha comment.

I don't know if you are mentally challenged or unable to read English but I have probably said 10 times that I'm in no rush to do this change as I'm not going for several months, and that I may not even do it.

But even if you just read my latest comments you would see that I have decided that if I do it I will never tell anyone here the outcome.

I only still post here because you guys are such a joke and I get so much fun out of laughing at your stupid gotcha comments.

You are not interested in the differential situation, you're just interested in pathetic little attacks against me, because you are so upset that I embarrassed you with the truth.

You're like a bunch of mean girls from high school who end up old and ugly and alone, addicted to gin, but somehow imagining in their own minds that they are young and attractive and important.
