Hello and greetings! My wife has a 2011 EGG, and it is still shifting beautifully. I'm a transmission tech for General Motors, so I was Leary about a German automatic, but when I learned Aisin Warner produced it, I decided to give it a shot. OC8 is the transmission code, I do believe. Very intermittently, there is a 1-2 slide bump present, and very very intermittently a 3-1 (from what I can tell, have not confirmed this with scan tool data but it appears 3-1 shift) clunk, but the more gears you have, the more total lash, the more fluid passages, the more adaptive, the more is bound to occasionally hiccup. I don't really think too much of it. I am new to the German automatic world, but so far I am pleased with her vehicle, currently 208000km on the clock. If anyone is considering doing a fluid "flush" on their own, (a good idea if you don't have dedicated flush machines is to drain into a graduated container, fill exactly the volume that comes out, drive a little bit to cycle through the torque converter and cooling/lubrication circuit and then repeat. However, be wary of fluid volume to fluid temperature correlation with driving it/operating it in between, you would not want to under or over fill it. Perhaps a few thermal cycles would be handy.
