Why does the gearbox get stuck in one gear?

This "limp mode" is often a deliberate safety response when this module detects a serious fault, defaulting to a single safe gear to protect the transmission from further damage while still allowing the vehicle to be driven to safety.

Is it dangerous to keep driving with this module faulty?

Erratic or harsh shifting affects vehicle control and should be addressed promptly — if in limp mode, drive cautiously and have it diagnosed as soon as possible.

Does this module need calibration after replacement?

Yes, typically an adaptation procedure matched to the specific gearbox type is needed for it to relearn optimal shift points with the new module.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
