I agree the leccy boxes don't flash the lights - had my son stand out in the cold this morning to check. Just wondered if Hawk would be doing the samejberks said:I haven't checked but I believe Hawk is right on the reversing lights issue. The box is electronically controlled so there is no longer a mechanical reason that it has to pass through R at all. If you flick it into D, the computer should be smart enough to recognise what you are doing and go straight to D. This would certainly explain the slight delay when selecting R as it waits mometarily to see if your staying there.
The old 4speed mechanical units may go to D via R but I suspect the tip shift 5 speed boxes and the 7 speed units don't anymore.
