Okay!! It did NOT go as I would have hoped... HOWEVER!! I think my new issue is the valve body or the solenoids in the valve body... While in normal DRIVE, I get bad flares between gears and if the RPM's are up, a hard shift... It's like there is too much delay with the solenoid activation... In MANUAL mode with gear selection, it is crisp and true... Very minimal delay between gears (Except going into 4th)... Nothing that would fault the trans out... I'm going to drive it a while longer to see if it "learns" how to shift... If it won't fix itself, I'll swap the original valve body back in and try it again... From my extensive research, everything I'm getting now is pointing at the valve body, not the module programming...

I'm almost there... Just gotta hang in there for a little while longer and I think I'll figure this beast out...

Cheers for now!!!
