## NHTSA's summary

HARSH UPSHIFT AFTER PERFORMING TSB TRA 058/SA208 \- KMA HAS RECENTLY IDENTIFIED AN INCREASE IN TECHLINE CASES WITH A COMPLAINT RELATED TO “A/T UP\-SHIFTING HARD” IN MOST GEARS. FURTHER INVESTIGATION HAS REVEALED THAT MOST OF THESE OCCURRED AFTER PERFORMING TSB TRA 058 / SA208 USING MANUAL MODE AND POSSIBLY HAVING, INADVERTENTLY, ENTERED AN INCORRECT PCM/TCM PART NUMBER. IN SOME CASES, TRANSAXLES HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED WITHOUT CONDITION IMPROVEMENT. PRIOR TO REPLACING A TRANSAXLE FOR A SIMILAR CUSTOMER CONCERN, CHECK CURRENT ROM ID NUMBER USING GDS/KDS. NOTE: PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE WHEEL SIZE REFERENCE INFORMATION ASSOCIATED WITH PCM/TCM PART NUMBERS.
