Default So much for my Level Ten valve body install. She hates it and want it the way it was...

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.

Default Put something appropriate in her mouth to muffle, and tell her it cant be reversed!

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.

Default Years ago when she was in high school she took auto shop. So she isn't in the dark at all...

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.
