    Thumbs up TCM Flash, Slotted Rotors, Brake Pads All Done!

    Picked up my MSRT8 yesterday after all TSB's completed. Dealer very supportive (Jack Powell, Escondido, CA)

    All TSB's (including full service bulletin printout) can be found at:

    http://www.300cforums.com/forums/tsb...lx-models.html

    Bedded the brakes & tested the mods.

    1. TSB 05-005-05 - Brake pads. Performance just as awsome as originals, seems like dust reduced (very little generated during bedding) will monitor as the miles build.

    2. TSB 05-006-06 - Slotted Rotors look cool, will monitor for groving as the miles build.

    3. TSB 21-020-06 -TCM reflash is awsome!. In full auto, the transmission is still "learning", but (with ESP full on) no engine cutoff from rolling start or from standing start at shift points. Smooth shifts at WOT in auto. Shifts at about 6000 indicated so far, but probably will adjust upward as it "learns" that I like redline shifts. In "manual", the transmission has nothing to learn. It holds the selected gear until redline at any throttle setting & if you haven't already shifted, it snaps a smooth but firm shift at 6100RPM indicated (probably 6200 actual due to tach needle lag). It looks like the hot low ET move with good traction & warmed up tires is to leave it & manual & let the transmission "protect" itself with redline shifts every time.

    Enjoy.

    Happy you're diggin' it, I had all that done as well, and no turnin' back.

    It does shift at 6200, I posted that in a thread here with the data captured to support that. The tach needle lags.

    Brakes?

    Thanks! I'm hoping I can use this TSB to get them to put in aftermarket pads and just give me the new ones they owe me... I don't want brake dust anymore :-) Still deciding on which pads I want.

    You would likely have the best luck getting them to install the pads, then taking it home and swapping them immediately...

    That's really easy on the Brembo's, right? Just tap out the pins, pull off the spring, pull out the pads, and repeat in reverse order?
