Takes a couple hours to do it right. Make sure your shop knows to reset the adaptions after changing and the proper re-learn procedure (you can do this yourself too, basically accelerate to 55mph at 30 percent throttle or less and then coast down to nearly to stop, no brakes, just let the car downshift. Do this in all modes at least 3 times in each mode.)

You dont have to do the re-learn, but it will shift funky for awhile until it automatically does it as you drive normally and can take some time as the TCU is looking for certain conditions to be met before it logs it.
Am not knowledgeable enough to do it on my own.
From your words, looks like an experienced person is required.
