No it's perfect as long as it doesn't try 6th on overrun

Update. It selects 6th fine driving but when I back off the accelerator it drops out. I hear 2 grinding noises then it shuts the shaft down. Reverse gear unavalable etc. Its fine normal driving all the way through to 7th. Launch also works. The mech selects all gears stationary and even does it...
