I didn't think the transmission in the 02 offered the updates? Do the 2001's have the option to get a software update? I'm know I'm missing something here and someone is gonna flame me but I had to ask

you know, i'm not sure (and please no comments about that)

what i did was i told my service advisor that there was a hesitation when going uphill. he confirmed it with a drive, and they updated my transmission. the service advisor told me that there was a code error in one part of the software. if my transmission was able to be updated, your's should be too. they are the same transmission for 01-06 3.0s and 00-03 4.4s although the 4.4s use a different model.
