I do, we arent able to modify zf software

sorry meant a zf dude that ford brings out and plugs his lap top in.

warning though, its a long and tedious procedure, I argued for months to get this done and ford finally caved after they got sick of me complaining, its funny cause they know about it, but dont want to pay the zf guy to travel all over vic to update them.

aparantly there is one dude in each state doing this upgrade

Have another look in your DCC or whatever it is Bionic, it'll be filed under placebo.

In my opinion the ZF doesn't like moderate throttle, drive like either a granny or a lunatic and all will be fine. I found if you want to avoid the clunk in to first and the lurch on take-off then ease off the brakes right at the last stage of stopping so that your vehicle is just crawling while it drops back to first. That way it won't abruptly clunk back to first, nor lurch on takeoff when it realises that first is probably a better option than second. Was the same for both BF & FG.

Yeah it's not ideal but it was the only gripe I ever had with the ZF...is an otherwise awesome piece of machinery so can be forgiven for one shortcoming IMHO.
