    Need to know if a TSB can be reversed?

    I took my Silver SRT-8 to the dealer today to get several things checked. They applied the WOT trani shift hesitation TSB. I picked the car up this eveing, got a half a tank of gas and jumped onto the 1 mile long freeway on-ramp and went to a dead stop and then floored it. Well guess what! 1st shifts into 2nd at 5500 RPM's and 2nd shift into 3rd at 6000 RPM's now!!!! SUCKKKKKKSKSKSKSKSKSKSDK!KQ#@$@!#:OIP#@$OIU%I#P(IU T!#%PJI........................................... .................................................. ........ .................................................. .


    ok... now that I am done beating the crap out of my keyboard, can anyone verify whether a programed TSB computer update can be reversed?

    Thing is that I tried 3 time on that onramp to get it to do anything different and it went the same route every time. I get off the freeway and head home but manage to try one more time on about a 1/4 mile stretch. This time it hesitates at 5500 RPM's, then goes to 6200 RPM's (exactly what it normally shifts at; sometimes even higher) and shifts into 2nd. But the hesitation is enough to make me think this is not a good TSB at all.

    Please help me... I feel like I went in to get my apendix out and they removed it and put a urine bladder in its place.

    Call your dealer and inform him of the situation. Something is definitely wrong.

    sorry, software can only be updated. cannot be reversed. that is not to say that they won't come out with another update later on to fix a glitch in the previous update.

    Can't they re-install an older version though? Uhm, if they have access to it.

    After the tsb, mine took a couple of wot from a standing or rolling start before it started shifting at higher rpms, but at no time did it have the hesitation.

    However, this morning at about 30 miles an hour, it when I stepped on the pedal but did not wot, it couldn't figure out what to do at all, shifted down, up down and then bogged between first and second.

    Will complain to dealer when I get a chance and wait to see if it happens again.

    i'm afraid not. flashes only go one way. replacing the PCM may be an option. they are shipped as "generic" and must be flashed in order to be operable.
    guessing here: if you can flash using a STARSCAN update CD that was released before the TSB, you might be able to get the previous version.
