4EAT owners - ever experience driveability problems?

The reason I posted this was because there is a member with an ongoing nightmare of a thread in the Maintenance and Warranty forum. Tranny shifting problems big time with her TS. I've never heard these complaints about the 4EAT before. Are these uncommon symptoms? That member was given a bulletin which said that what she is experiencing is normal.

My driving instructor at Thunderhill drove my car for one session, passing subies with more power and suspension mods than mine. It was a price (of gasoline) that I was willing to pay.

Cusco RSB, yes. Few other odds and ends. I PM'd Russ earlier this evening with a more comprehensive breakdown.
