I'll admitt that there is a slight jerk when it goes into drive, but the way it shifts through the gears!!! I am still grinning. It's about as fast as my shifts on my motorcycle.
The problem is she doesn't like the jerk when it engages drive, and there is a slight jerk (ocassionally) when it downshifts from 5 to 4 . If the TCU doesn't adapt fairly quickly the original valve body will be going back in and the Level Ten will be up for sale.
And a trans fill note: I drained the trans when it was hot, about 6 liters were drained out, changed the valve body about another liter or so drained out (I spilled some on the floor too- oops). Nearly 8 liter to fill the trans after the valve body. The car level, engine running, trans in park, between 35-40 celcius. I rechecked the level again this morning to be sure there was the right amount of fluid, as it warmed up to 48 a slight trickle of fluid began.

Treat her like she was your wife. Keep her in the dark and feed her plenty of BS.
I would have an S8 auto in my car worked by them if I could figure how to get the other inputs needed. They do good stuff.

I have to live with her and after 8 years she knows exactly how to make life miserable. Some things I can get away with but on this one I don't think I will. She likes the k04 power, but she doesn't like the level ten slight jerk when it engages drive. I am giving it a few days saying it will adapt she's still saying no.
