I think I read somewhere that even a Recon R380 is the same, they are just as notchy. I don't think the RT77 is a notchy unit, as my mum never mentioned anything or even notices.

Hi Procta,

Many thanks for this clear reply.

I think that mine was remapped before I bought it, because it can push it in high REVs on low gears when accelerating.

Also, on highway, I can drive it at 130 km/h, with no problem except lots of noise and vibration. So very unpleasant, that's why I don't exceed 110 km/h.

Do you know how can I be sure if it was remapped ? How can I reset it easily to return back to factory program ?

Very many thanks again,

Julien

Yeah mine is a ~3 year old recon that I've put about 30k on. It's always been a bit notchy into 2nd, and can be pretty reluctant when cold, just one of those things!

Planning to try a different oil next time I change it, I had a supply of mtf to use up first
