Senix, you were correct. I just needed to give it time to adjust to the different tunes. I guess adjustments on the fly are not as fast as I thought. I spoke with a transmission specialist and he stated that in higher tunes pressure builds up in the lines and it takes a while for the transmission to adjust to the tunes. So you were spot on. Thanks a lot.

He had tunes on it and it would not have helped any.

Lower increments on the power levels would be less noticeable.

The transmission guy said he put it on Extreme and ran it hard after giving it time to adjust like you said and it gave him no problems, and did the same on stock. I have always driven it soft anyway so I plan on continuing to do the same. Will cross my fingers.
