Customers of some affected vehicles may notice a shock when the transmission shifts from 1st to 2nd or downshifts from 3rd to 2nd, when the fluid temperature is below 10°C (50°F). This condition is due to transmission fluid line pressure being higher than expected at these temperatures.
This TSB describes procedures to reprogram the TCM with new parameters to correct the condition.
