Flared shifts 6 Speed auto

For anyone having flared shifts on the auto tranny, you might want to try this. I was about to buy a valve body for a flared shift between 3 and 4. I found an article describing the exact behavior I had on a 09g transmission. There are adjustment screws on each solenoid to control the shifts. I backed out the K2 clutch solenoid adjustmen 1.5 turns, put the oil pan back on, filled with fluid and it shift better than new. If anyone is interested, I will post pictures of where the K2 adjustment screw is located. It is easy to get to, all you have to do is drop the pan.

Here is the article directly from Sonnax. I did about 150 miles so far after the adjustment and the car is shifting perfectly.
