The boys at COBB have been busy and have released a TCM update for us AP NIS006 owners.
This ALPHA release allows 2009/2010 GTRs to flash their transmission (TCM) to use the 2011 model software.
My 2009 EDM has had some frustrating TCM quirks which were..
- Transmission R mode would be disengaged whenever the driver flipped form Manual to Auto, or vice-versa.
- Low speed bunny hopping in 1st gear.
- Low speed gear choice is frustratingly slow. Way too slow to engage 1st gear at low speeds.
- Downshifting through the gears was laboured and never dropped quick as I needed when shifting down to 2nd from higher gears. Always seemed to plonk me into 3rd when 2nd was needed.
- My 3rd gear clutch slippage had meant I'd adjusted my touch points and capacities to +1 to negate this, albeit with the increase in snatchy gear shifting which came with it.
Well I updated my TCM to this modifiied software and I am very, very impressed. I can see why Clarkson thought the gearbox was new on the 2011 models. All of my annoyances are now gone!
- R mode stays, whever I'm auto or manual. Nice.
- Low speed bunny hopping is no more.
- Trans changes to 1st gear at 3mph now rather than 0mph as before. Doesnt sound like a lot, but boy what a difference at junctions.
- Downshifting is a revelation. Snappy quick changes, and if I pull that paddle 3 times, I get 3 gear changes now. Brilliant!
- I've reset all my points to 0 and there is no clutch slippage at all, especially in 3rd gear.
- Even upshifting is silky smooth. No snatchy changes now.
All in all, COBB better get this out as an official update asap. Those of you with NIS006 APs are gonna want this.
In fact you need this.
I shot a quick video of the launch RPMs but I havent launched myself as the roads around me have been way to busy for burning up tarmac!
My big, big thanks to the COBB team. This is what the AP is all about.
