Anyone who has been driving for a long time, and started on cheap cars (because it's all they could afford) learns how to drive around problems. My attempts to do so were thwarted by the software that overrode my selection of 3rd gear.
If the ECU talks to the mechatronic unit, why can't it say "hey, pal, I'm not going over 3000 rpm?" In other words, the limp home mode should be better integrated between the two systems. That's all I'm saying.
