Yep, you can and when the car is cold it defaults to first gear automatically.

That being the case, it seems a shame the gearbox ECU cant be persuaded to default to 1st.
It seems to back the therory up though if you were seeing that many more Tips with rebuilt engines.

infrasilver said:Hartech have always said they seem to weight the tip failures higher than the manual for the reasons mentioned about using the torque low down, and I believe this theory.

There is no hard evidence anywhere to suggest one is worse than the other but I have read plenty on the subject to deduce where the evidence is pointing. The stroke that puts most pressure on the thrust face when the engine oil is at its thinnest and torque is at it highest makes a good claim for the high percentages and I still believe this.
