Cured gearbox problem

Just to let anyone know who have similar problem, I had my gearbox replaced last year but have suffered from a violent thump between 1st and 2nd gear. I cleaned the MAFF etc but to no avail. So decided to change the Air Flow meter completely. Now the car changes very smoothly like new. Only cost £30 from a breakers. Hope this may help someone

How was the MAF broken ?, was one of the tiny wires broken ?....if not, then possibly a fault with the circuitry
