So far the trans seems fine. I usually only eoc downhill when the everything is cool. I don't EO P+G because it's too much trouble. It's in neutral for short periods only. I know I may have problems later but I'm willing to risk it. If the trans does blow I will try to drop in a manual if I can find one which would be much better in any event.

Although now that I have the MPGuino, I can leave it running, see when fuel cut off happens and only glide at the end.

Thanks though, good to know what to watch out for.
