Thanks guys. I know that the car would accepted both the 00132 and 01132 code. I am looking for the code that may help with our hard downshifts... Mainly 2-1. Do u know I'd the 01032 code eliminates those?

Soft coding will do nothing for hard downshifts. That is more likely an internal trans thing...pressure, lack of pressure, valve in valve body, etc..

I had a clunk from 2-1 on stock coding. After my recode it was virtually gone. I could still feel the shift, but it was so much smoother and didn't give the nervous jolt that was there previously. Could it have changed the rev shift point to smooth it our perhaps?

Maybe I will give the 00132 code a shot.

Recoded
"S" mode (2002 and later) on the shifter eliminates 5th gear and is an aggressively different shift behaviour. Soft coding is a much more subtle difference in shifting, with the exception of adding total control of 1st gear...a HUGE plus, you'll find, to unleash the below-40mph monster. It will not replace "S" mode, but will provide a useful alternative while tip shifting.
Highly recommended...
