I think people are talking about the warm up procedure, where it tends to hold second gear a lot longer than seems appropriate when the engine is cold :dunno:

Either way, sounds like a Trans tune could make you happier. It's on my list, so no personal experience to share at this point unfortunately..

I have certain uphills that are a bit brutal when the trans is in cold no lockup mode, that I drive nearly every day. Then in warmed up, normal mode, I mostly don't have issues with the sutphin tune. there's one particular place where I wish it would shift up and load up on some boost, but it's kind of on the edge of the lower torque limits in 3rd gear so I get why it doesn't. It's a sharp uphill turn that I'd bog 3rd in a manual tranmission, but an auto refuses to bog through at 1000 rpm.
