JCE/Alon............Is this the beauty of this site or what, so much information ?. Thanks guys. I have ordered from the local dealers a handbook about 2 months ago but so far, nothing. My 500 certainly shifts quite normally when cold, I have just been for a blast round the block after the car has been sitting for about a week. The search was interesting, makes sense to me to warm up the converter to kick that into action.
