My car was # 000832 and I can tell you, IT USED TO BANG ITS HEAD when iw as in first gear, especially when it was cold. It would JERK JERK JERK and then move, JERK, etc

I got it reflashed thanks to this thread, the DEALER test drove it and told me EVERYTHING was NORMAL, but I had them do the relash anyway... all I can say is the car is like NIGHT AND DAY NOW, it is completely better to drive and it is MUCH MUCH smoother in first gear, I can actually have it hang in traffic now up to 8k rpm without it jerking, it stays smooth through the entire rev range.

If you are in the VIN # specified, GET THIS DONE. I was the FIRST at my dealership to get this done. They said it was normal. I said it wasnt.
