My auto EF does shifts hard too. Probs because it gets neglected and hasn't had a trans service in over 150,000 ks
 Would most likely spin 2nd too if I was game enough to flog it! Just feels like being rear ended

yeah this one never got serviced, the original owner before my brother owned it since about 3 years old until a few months ago was under the impression the btr's are so s**t they need replacing every 150,000 so it wasnt worth servicing
well if he had of serviced it maybe it would still change gears like normal, he serviced everything else on time though and was very anal with it, too bad my brother got hold of it

ed timing is set within the first 2 mins, and you set it to the mark on the left or a deg or 2 before, this mark is 10deg btdc. the mark on the right is tdc
