Yeah, never go back. And the smoother you are on the throttle the better especially with normal easy driving.
From what i read, the s197 supposedly did. Mine definitely did bc it just got slower and less throttle response over time until I reflashed the tune
That's the transmission locking up in the torque converter
*cries in base suspension*
Yup, thats what it feels like. The trans should know that under stronger acceleration it shouldnt lock up....just shift like normal and maybe when you get off the gas let it lock up for fuel savings. Even does it in sport mode which makes no sense to me.
No they always lock up no matter what mode. They only need to be 'unlocked' when stopping and starting otherwise you waste torque and fuel.
It's quite the opposite. The trans knows to lock up 100% of the time in 2nd through 10th even during shifts or hard acceleration.
Understood, I have owned quite a few cars over the years (4th stang) and not new to the game so to speak. This is my first automatic where it engages the tcc during harder acceleration. Oh well, I will deal with the issue, just doesnt feel like it should. (Personal preference of course)
Try re-setting the learned parameters by unplugging the battery for 20-30 minutes.
