One question - do you notice "the kick" more after you've done a little spirited driving? If so, I would say it's totally normal. My AT seems to shift harder (both up an down), even under light throttle, after I have had a little fun. My guess would be that the this is just part of the ECU learning your habits. After I begin driving normally, it doesn't shift nearly as firm.
Hope this helps.  |
Helps alot. I mean if this is "normal" then yeah I can totally live and deal with it. It only bothers me because I kept worrying there is something wrong with the car. As for your question yes, when I first got the car, it didn't kick. So.. it was like 67 Miles and I just you know.. first time in the 370z pushed it but around 1000 miles, i notice the kicks.
Thanks for your reply. It makes me happy. :]
