When you replace a CVT, the TCM that was originally used with the replacement CVT should also be included. The "IP" Char data is stored in the Valve Body on the replacement CVT, and needs to be read into your original TCM by using a scanner to erase the old data. Once erasure is performed, the new data is automatically read-in. If that wasn't performed, then your TCM is trying to run the tranny with data from the old VB. All kinds of garbage-performance can result.
