diggit Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hi y'all. Thought I'd share a tidbit. Had my '10 Journey in for some body work and asked the service tech to check my tranny because 1st to 2nd was a little clunky. According to the invoice they reflashed the PCM with an update. I've had it since early November '09. Hope it solves some issues some of you have had with rough shifting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diggit Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hey Diggit, how did the trans flash work out? Any repair info on operation # I might ask for same, thanks Can't find the receipt at the moment (go figure) but I gave them a symptom- that it was hard shifting 2nd to 3rd. Told me there was a software update for tranny. After the flash, much smoother shifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneframe Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Any update on this issue? I have a 2010 AWD R/T model. I find the downshifting clunky and rough. I don't know if it's just me, but I came from driving a German automobile and the shifting was buttery smooth. Couldn't feel a thing. With the Journey, downshifting is sluggish. I can feel the shifting. I just wanted a confirmation that this is normal for an American car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada_Jay Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Any updates? Is it still smooth. I have had my Journey 6-speed Auto since June 2008 with tranny shifting issues. Flashed a number of times with no luck. Possibly this is a newer flash than I currently have. I lost hope months ago but you are giving me new light (I hope). Let me know soon so I don't light the vehicle on fire to remove my misery. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkles Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Canada, I did have it flashed and the 123 shifts are more consistant and much smoother overall. It still shifts into 6 too soon unless i'm on it somewhat....overall it's much improved good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kered118 Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 hi,i have a 2009 journey sxt 3.5, i dont like the tranny and the mpg city is sucks like im only getting 10 to 13 mpg but hi-way is 26mpg at 65mph. after the flash do you notice better mpg? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkles Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 If I'm light footed, the trans. still shifts too quickly through the first gears then locks up in 6 too soon ,and luggs along on a hill. Much better, but would like to have a smoother fix. If im aggressive it shifts great. 18-20 mpg and 23-26 on highway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
