Took my 2020 into dealer last week for….

Thanks for the discussion everyone. I am expecting the dealer is planning to replace the valve body in the transmission per the TSB. Given the known design flaw in the clutch drum I am not optimistic of that resolving our harsh shift issues. Particularly since the problem has persisted since day one of ownership at 0 miles, albeit intermittently.

Has anyone here had their valve body replaced and NOT had to return for a rebuild/swap of the transmission thereafter?

Yes valve body can cure some shifting issues. If it keeps showing the symptoms, they will go ahead and rebuild.

For some reason, I thought the transmission "learning mode" disabled the gear skips. However, I can find nothing in writing at the moment to back that up

In the case I am right about that, I would expect a brand new Expy to be in learning mode when driven off the lot. Perhaps that could be the explanation for the lack of skips in this particular Expy?
