Had mine done today & so far a vast improvement. No hesitation at all on the roundabout where it always did before the upgrade.

Thanks Riv.

Cheers

Good to see REV, do you notice that the shifting pattern is completely different and the way it holds 4th a lot more?

does your cruise control now work in sports mode too?

I was certain that cruise never worked in S. But now... it does

Cruise always worked in sport mode, I just used it for towing a camper for 1000kms

Yes, in the couple of drives I've had since getting the upgrade yesterday I have noticed a difference in the shifting & more so the way it holds 4th a bit longer in lower speeds. But I am very happy with the results from the upgrade.

It just goes to show if you can deal with one service advisor it makes everything so much easier. When I first reported the hesitation & that I was concerned about it, the advisor that i normally deal with wasn't there that day & another advisor said that it was normal & not too worry about it as every thing was fine.
When I went back in armed with the tsb number, the advisor that I normally (try) & speak to was there and when I told him about the hesitation he said he was aware of an upgrade.
he looked it up & there it was. (surprise surprise) I didn't need the tsb number that you supplied Riv but, thanks very much for your effort & info sharing, this is what makes this forum the great one that it is.

I think thats because I was in there the day before you REV armed with the same thing. Hey REV is your rig Dark Furnace in colour with a pradopoint sticker on the back window?

Certainly is. That would be a spot.

No problem at all guys, the forum is great and I'm sure it has contributed to a number of improvements through members efforts.

I must confess that I believe the upgrade has led to slightly worse fuel economy but I still prefer the new shift pattern and no flat spot. I am going to start driving in S mode again for a comparison as I believe it does not hold 4th as much. I'll report back on my findings.

Wooley, I used S mode all the time before the upgrade an cruise worked fine for me.

I must just be on crack then. maybe it did work and I just thought it wouldn't.

and I agree, the fuel economy is definitely worse.

Certainly is. That would be a spot.

We often cross paths on Woolcock street/Bruce highway near the new harley shop thats getting built heading into town. Mines a stock standard silver GXL with personalised plates. Well it wont be stock soon

Only city driving has suffered IMO, open road as per before.
