Mine is in the shop today trying to find a leak in the rear air suspension - pressure testing air lines and compressor, new Arnott bags last week didn't solve my leak.

While they have it in there I told them to reflash the transmission software. For $100 it's worth a shot. I've got an issue where when accelerating, if I'm not really getting on it, it feels like it's shifting from 3-4 too soon and then it just feels like there's nothing there until the RPMs get back up. If I'm driving more aggressively it doesn't do it. If I slip it over into sport shifting, it doesn't do it, but in sport shifting, I get the rough 2-1, which doesn't happen in the normal mode.

So, like I said, I have the software but I'd hate to brick my transmission. For $100 I'll let them handle it with their AutoLogic.

I'll post back if I notice any difference.
