@HondaTech was nice enough to set me up for the update at the end of last week. I just ran my ECU down to them and in about twenty minutes I was good to go. Thanks a ton! The next time we buy a machine I will definitely be driving past 3 or so dealerships to come see y'all based on my experience @ Honda of Fairfield
I haven't spent a TON of time in it since the flash, but things that are definitely noticable:
1. The shifting in low gear is NOTICABLY smoother. Like night and day. And it had smoothed out a lot from new (1000 miles and 2 oil changes in), but now it's darn near as smooth as running in high. Doesn't hold a gear forever and a day like it used to, and doesnt SLAM down into a lower gear as soon as you let off the gas. Great improvement.
2. I think the shifting in both high and low is quicker. It doesn't hold/clunk/jerk like it used to. This was worse in low than high, but improvement in both ranges imo.
3. I agree that it seems to have a little more "umph" off the bottom end- high and low gear. Wants to fishtail a lot more/quicker- definitely feels a bit peppier.
Overall I'm tickled to death. Bummed that I couldnt get the dealer 20 minutes down the road to do it, but it was well worth the hour and a half trip!
