Revs where pretty high :( i was flicking it back and forward between Auto and manual cuz in drive i was expecting it to change sooner generally making an ass of my first time in 2 years driving it lol. Im going to have a go a stripping it down myself and will see what the damage is, gonna be interesting seeing the center of the v6 hart. not to hopeful and crying inside a little.
