Need a tune after intake installation?
Alright I’ve been searching and searching for months to a solution to this problem. I installed a short ram intake on my 3.5 TL and it started shifting super rough and it specifically has one downshift when accelerating from 20-30 mph and it hesitates for a couple seconds and then shifts super hard. It almost feels like a slip but the transmission shifts perfectly fine in manual mode. I have been told I need a tune so I got a Ktuner and the base map helped a little but didn’t fix it still. Now i have concluded from multiple sources that I need a custom tune but the best price I’ve been able to get is $650 which honestly I don’t feel like putting that much money into this car (it has 185,000 miles). Is there any other less costly solution for me out there?

Yeah, I did try that, made no difference. I have read the other thread on here with the guy with a similar problem and tried everything from that thread. I’ve done multiple different types of resets none worked.

Does it really need a custom tune? The stock ktune profile for SRI/Intake should work. I did j-pipe and SRI and used the stock map. I did these mods at around 50k miles and honestly the KTuner itself is fully worth it for the increased responsiveness to the shifting. The car feels like a new car when I applied one of those tunes.
