Did i do something bad?

Since i got my x-cal 2 ive been messing with the user adjustments (shift firmness mainly). I originally set my shifts to 25% but after a while the 1-2 and 3-4 shift felt rediculously rough. then i turned them down and they stayed normal for about 50 miles and then they got really rough again. Then i turned them down some more and even took the 1-2 shift to 0% and it felt good for another few miles or so but now they are the same. Especially when im accelerating normally, the 1-2 shift jerks the whole car. Is this normal or is something wrong? Seems like it would be hard on something.

Try loading the stock tune back and then load the custom tune.

That is normal. Our transmisions (autos) learn and make adjustments as u rack up the miles. When u flash it, it takes a few miles to adjust . Your WOT shifts should change immediatly , its the part throtle and light throtle that takes a while to adjust. I got all my shift firmness settings at 25%, the car chirps the tires even when u are just cruising at 10 miles . lol. I like it that way,( i hate soft shifts) and it is not hard on the trans , it is actually better since the clutchs dont slip that much. If it bothers you the set the firmness back to negative. Good luck

guess i will turn it back up. Even when i had it at 10% the tires would still churp at part throttle, but ill give it another try. lol, I love the look on my passenger's face when it does that while normally taking off, makes them feel like they're riding in a rocket! Seriously, ive never heard of any other car that can do that. Although when i had a 2000 mustang (v6, auto) i got it to do it at WOT somehow. (only mods were intake and exaust).
