My car has the occasional rough engagement of the SC in first gear at "just the right throttle". It does take a little getting used to.
Probably leaked from the missing filler cap.

That is a long way for fluid to go to leak out that much. It would be a good idea to get underneath the car and verify that the electrical plug is not leaking. Just my $.02

Highly unlikely that’s where it was lost.

I'll have to look but the bottom of my car is dry. Unless it was serviced and they didn't fill it properly 🤷🏻‍♂️ I'm gonna replace the electrical fitting either way.

So I broke down after reading reviews and watching YouTube videos and ordered the MKUltra SLR TCU tune. The Agility mode seems like exactly what I'm looking for the car to do when I drive it spiritedly. I'll let you guys know how I like it after I get some seat time in it.

Just received and installed this. I can't really tell yet but I believe the transmission does feel a little smoother and sporty. I'll give a longer term review after a few weeks
