Once I went WOT I put the shifter in auto, which was before the 2-3 shift. The 2-3 shift never once hesitated and felt perfect, it was the 3-4 that I had trouble with and at that point the trans had been in full auto for one complete shift and 4-5 seconds.
I did have my car at a local Chevy dealership as I requested they checked the fluid level of the trans and told me it was fine. I also requested the track alignment and provided them with a photo copy of the specs from the performance supplement page of the manual. The crooks didn't break a single alignment bolt loose and charged me for an alignment. I didn't find this out until after my first track day as I chewed up the outer edge of my tires from no negative chamber. Point is I don't trust the dealer that did the work as they screwed me on the alignment and probably did the same on the trans fluid level check.

Ahhh gotcha... and yes it's very tough to trust dealers at all. One reason I don't even give warranty much thought. So glad my 1st and only free oil change is over. We have many dealers in my area and not one is reliable.
