Hi IM2QIK, Was just reading your question to XRT330 regarding the auto trans changes since the fitting of the phase 2 kit. I have had the phase 2 fitted to my car for approx 4 months now, have not had the auto upgraded and have absolutely no problem with the shift for 2-3 or any other shift. Previous to the phase 2 install I had the phase 1 for around 7 months and had no problems with that either. Hope this helps.
