I still haven't done another reset and followed the procedure on the FCPeuro site.

Edit: manually shifting is fine. No idea why it comes practically to a stop in 2nd then jolts itself into first. If I brake harder no problem, only when gently rolling to a stop.
I (currently) have the same thing. Many of us do...

I've heard that new fluid (esp. MaxLife) can sort this. I've also heard of folk that have changed the fluid to sort this and had no change. You and I included...

I've heard that changing the bridge and jump seals can sort this. I've also heard of folk that have changed the bridge and jump seals to sort this and had no change. You and I included...

I've heard that resetting the adaptations can sort this. I've also heard of folk that have reset the adaptations to sort this and had no change. You and I included...

I've heard that new solenoids can sort this. I've also heard of folk that have changed the solenoids to sort this and had no change.

I've heard that an EGS re-flash can sort this. I've also heard of folk that have done an EGS re-flash to sort this and had no change.

You get the idea...
