super chips micro tuner ?

I'm a proud new owner of a 99 f-250 powerstroke automatic. I just bought a superchips micro tuner, and it claims to help with the firmness of the shifts, but I honestly didn't feel a difference. I noticed a power increase but nothing for the tranny. Is this normal? Is there a programer out there for an early 99 that you can adjust the shift points and firmness?

My truck dosnt have an auto nor do i know of a tuner to help with transmission firmness. But ive heard very good things about the Sonnax valve/tricumulator spring kit for them auto trannies.

a tuner will increase line pressure firming up the shifts. maybe your tranny is slipping a little to where you wont notice a difference? do you have guages because if it is slipping it will run hotter than without the tuner
