Hi Edward,

Here is the log.

The tranny does feel much better, thanks.

Hi Edward,

Thanks for the gearbox tune. It feels more responsive now and easier to "command". It seems that on the Tribeca (B9) it does not help tuning the engine only as the gearbox seems to negate any progress you make on the tuning, especially with my driving style which is more old man than race boy. Manuals and more modern autos should be better but with the Trebeca's 5EAT you won't get the full benefit if you tune the engine only.

I'm not sure how your normal aggressive throttle response will be but with the "long throw" pedal you tuned for me it seems very natural to command the gearbox now.

I had the sense that the car felt "lighter" today after the gearbox tune.

With all your tuning the car is not as frustrating to drive than in stock, i.e. I feel more in control because the car now reacts better to my inputs.

Thanks again.

Regards

Paul
