Anybody else's tires spinning on the 1>2 shift?
Not a "bark" or "chirp", but actually spinning for several revolutions. My rears used to "chirp" on the 1>2 under HARD acceleration a few thousand miles ago, but tonight I got the backend all squirrely when I hit the shift and it actually stepped out sideways just a bit. It's not too cold here and the roads are bone dry.
I was impressed.

I never accelerate on the street without TCS on, and when I first got the car it almost never came on during the 1-2 shift. But now, with 7000 miles, it is very easy to activate TCS when accelerating quickly. Car must be loosening up a bit.

I thought I was crazy. In the past few weeks I thought I forgot how to shift. Mine does it quite a bit now, too. Feels like you are almost on ice when none is present. Tires are slipping alot and only 6,700 miles

Same thing happening here. I was thinking it was the tires hardening up with the cold weather here, but it looks like some of you warm weather guys are experiencing the same thing. I'm really looking forward to replacing these RE040's.

When I shift hard from 1st into 2nd I'm noticing my engine is cutting out. At first I thought it was the tires spinning but I think it's the enine shutting down?

Happens way too often For any of you Auto Guys...wait till you need a rebuild 
Life will never be the same... Gtech registers a .54 on 1 ~ 2 shift.. LMAO.. when it shifts it shifts HARD.
