Message: [QUOTE="WoodBoy, post: 248398, member: 890"] Well the transmission is learning all the time. The first run or two, you just need to just drive it softly and let it go through all the gears, then slow down and let it downshift on down back to one. then- So this is the only way I can describe it. On a scale of 1-100 on shift firmness, once a tune is loaded the tranny is at default around 50. When you start driving if you drive softly, it will gradually go to 45, then over time drop to 40, then 35, and so forth. And after 100 miles, you have been driving easy, and it has gotten to 27 and is about as low as it is gonna go due to your driving, then all of a sudden you mash on it, it needs to be at 85 but it is only gonna jump to maybe 40 the first time (causes confusion in tranny), then you do it again, it will jump on up to maybe 65( this time, the shifting was better). So you see what im saying its like averaging in test grades. That being said, if you want to drive it hard, start driving it hard from the get go. I drive mine easy 85% of the time, but if i know it is a weekend or etc and i might play around, I will get on a back road, and i will run a decent run prolly less than half throttle, then i will turn around and maybe do a run over half throttle, and if the shifting is where i want it, ill bump on up to a 3/4 run. During this time, my tranny is learning it needs to shift firmer, and i am giving it time to learn and move up. Then Ill do my WOT run or whatever i want, but i NEVER just go from easing around to a 3/4+ run [/QUOTE]
