I thought these transmissions we have are hard to break. I think I will not be running the srl+ tune anymore. The strategy tune that I got with the sct never shifts as hard as that tune does

Well I thought about fixing my truck today, but I just couldn't find the motivation anywhere. I looked in every drawer in my toolbox, but it wasn't there. So I did a bunch of work outside instead...
