My battery survived it. I was concerned there for a bit. Do not know if the shifting got better. The wifey drives it and you know what she's going to say...it is the same LOL!

I have had 2 different service adviser issue me a caveat. They have stated that it has made the car actually shift worse.

So I have no idea if I should do this or not?

Their is a small chance of that happening,from what I have read on this subject. But personally,my advice to you is: Start drinking heavily!! No I`m kidding of course. I would do it,I did and i`m glad i did.

Ok, confirmed. The re-flash has improved the shift lag. Great!

Did it work for your car to do this TC005-03? Does anyone know what it costs if you're over the warranty?

For those of you on the fence. I want to report my result a year later. Well, the car still shift perfectly fine now. It did not go back to the way before.
