"M" or "D" is still fully controlled by the transmission electronics. Perhaps xHP's comments is it no longer upshifts (at redline) or downshifts for you? In OEM, I'm 99.9% it would force an upshift if you hit the rev limiter. Now, nope, never. Now, not that causes engine issues since the DME just does a throttle cut to keep the revs in check, but you are hovering at higher revs unnecessarily.

Should also add that shift firmness is driving mode dependent, and not M/D dependent.

I'm in the same boat. I leave the house quiet as a mouse, but put it in Sport+ M, as soon as I'm out of the neighborhood. I don't know why there would be a disclaimer for Sport+ only in manual, other than a driver can shift high and hard every time. I've been trying to find the text as it was written, but it was something I saw when I was setting up my first flash, so I was reading ALL the text.

So far there doesn't seem to be any immediately pressing issues, or we'd have heard about them on the forum.
