This is his reply verbatim-- PS I heard that India has more children on the "Honor Role" than we have people in the US...

"From your description, it seems like it is a transmission concern because if you had a coil concern, it would be missing. If it's "banging" going into drive, then into reverse, you may have a hydraulic concern with the solenoid pack inside the transmission. There also may be a callibration update for this concern. There is an adaptive learn strategy for shift timing and feel, but that usually is when the battery is disconnected or loses power. The PCM relearns the adaptive strategies. The cost of repair depends on what is found with diagnosis. This is all assuming the transmission from your description is the cause. If you don't want to go back to the dealer, I am sure there are other trans repair facilities that can perform the needed diagnostics. "
