They flashed my tranny with new firmware today. Only drove it a few miles, but so far I am pleased. Seems much smoother on the 1-2 shift.
 
I will keep you posted.

This would be software, firmware would be gears

Actually, a computer program can be "firmware", i.e. a program that is embedded in a hardware device, for example a microcontroller.

Firmware is the correct term in this case. Hardware would be the gears.
 
I just told them that my 1-2 shifts were harsh and that I heard there was a service bulletin about it.
 
The updated the firmware on the computer controlling the tranny and so far I am pleased. I no longer have to get off the gas as I feel a shiftpoint coming.

Just an update. I love it!!!!
 
I was starting to regret my purchase due to the harsh shifting. Now it's smooth as silk.
 
If you are experiening harsh shifts please go to your dealer. The computer update was quick and effective.

i took my sonata to north freeway hyundai and showed them your email and what you had done. the service manager said he never heard of it and was wanting to know what dealership you went to so he can call them and find out what this firmware is. they did an adjustment on my car again but i dont know yet if that will help. can you please provide me the name and number of your dealership? thanks

Don't know what year your Sonata is but this TSB may help.

I go to Hyundai 112 in Medford. I am not sure where you are located. But post 123 seems to have all the details you should need.
 
I can't say enough how happy this has made me. I was very happy with the car but the harsh shifts were making me hate the car.
