I booked my 6 week old GT (4.2) in for next week to have my boot lid trim replaced/refitted as it lifts at the end and mentioned to my dealer that sometimes the gearchanges can be jerky out of the blue.
He called me make to say that other than some software updates for the media system there is also a recall on my car to have the accelerometer sensor(s) changed.
I am not exactly sure of the purpose of these accelerometers but i wondered if they were any way linked to the ECU/gearbox and could be the reason why I get the occasional jerky change? Perhaps these sensors give signals that make the gearbox think i want a fast sporty change when i'm actually just cruising gently?
Has anyone here had them replaced yet and was there any noticeable difference?
I'll let you know the outcome hopefully the end of next week.
