We had tested this during the Hot Hatch, and I was surprised it happened too, but yes, when adding parts, the non-adjustable transmissions will be different according to when it was installed.
You could also request that the transmission be installed first and then the performance parts. That is, if @Motor City Hami will allow that.
sport soft are allowed, just fyi.
I tested your car the other day, and I did the transmission at the end...force of habit like @biffa3 stated. You say you did yours in automatic? I found that it loved to bounce of the rev limiter...really loved it! It helped with being able to stand on the gas on the left hander coming out of the tight turns, but hurt it in other areas. I thought me driving it in auto was the issue...maybe the transmission setting is a huge difference...

I've always tested and tuned with an automatic - shame on me
It bounces off 2nd gear regardless of the old or new settings. The only difference is with the new transmission settings it understeers more cause it shifts into 3rd sooner (More power where I wasn't used to having it) . I wouldn't say the difference in laptime is huge, but it's much easier to drive and go fast using the old settings (Tranny before power upgrades).
Edit: I added my fast lap below.
what colour are they supposed to be? I thought they only came in red
Fantastic throttle control there, I see my issue with driving, I don't make the tires talk enough.I've always tested and tuned with an automatic - shame on me

Same here! Need to stop that habit, slows us down...
yes yes they do, Blue, white, yellow and orange.what colour are they supposed to be? I thought they only came in red
. If it's the new, I'll get tuning tonight to make adjustments to accommodate the new power curve.
You need to use the reset transmission.A bit confused as to what I have to do. Can I leave the old tranny on, or must I use the new (Install after Power Upgrades). I plead ignorance to the whole thing as I genuinely had no idea, I didn't mean to use a potential exploit
No need for luck just insanity!

Up to you really, personally I think it shows ingenuity in the interpretation of the rules and tuning techniques and doesn't break any fixed rules, the caveat being that the reset is a courtesy on the behalf of the tuners to make testers lives easier and this sort of goes against that. I thought about it briefly during tuning but didn't really have the time or the transmission know how to test the effects so I can't say what those effects may be and whether they will be noticeable under testing conditions.
