I feel extremely dumb.
I'm just bought a 2003 2.4L Diesel with ASM gearbox. I cannot for the life of me figure out all the tricks of using the ASM gearbox. I thought I was good with vehicles, but i'm questioning everything.
What are the 3 different gear modes? I'm assuming there is the "weight carrying" mode, "Economy" mode, and "Cold"? mode? I'm in Brisbane Australia so I assume I won't need the cold mode.
Is there no "Park" gear on the ASM? If I park on a hill and my parking brake fails, will the Transit roll away?
The reverse gear requires 2 taps. If I don't move straight away, it shifts back into neutral gear. Is this normal? Do I need to keep accelerating in order to keep the vehicle in Reverse gear?
Anything else I should know about daily operation?
