Default Flash and torque converter

Went to the DC dealer today to complain about my Jeep feeling like it is being driven over rumble strips. Fortunately or unfortunately the technician experienced it also on the test drive. The torque converter is now on order and should be here in a week . My question is once the flash is performed and the converter is changed will I have any noticeable improvement in timed acceleration and overall engine and transmission performance. I know that some people on this board had this TSB performed .

My dealer performed the flash but did not replace the torque converter. The rumble is less apparent but still there. regarding performance, i have not noticed any changes. the shift points are still ridiculously low.

My dealer begs to differ. I have read the TSB and it is clear as mud. Dealer claims that the TC should only be replaced "if necessary". Whatever that means.

Since the problem still exists, I'm going to wait for it to worsen enough so that they can't argue that nothing's wrong. Then I will take it back (AGAIN) and hopefully they will replace the TC. Wish me luck.
