So hope my trans is not on the way out >.<
Yeah mine was slipping from 3-4 then it would go bk to 3 then error code re M3-M4 gear ratio or something...

So I flash the stock map bk (Alpina) but same issue .. prolly aggravated it with xhp .. maybe reset adaptations will harm it too as it's done 160,000 kms plus mostly tuned and the last 10,000 kms on Pure Stage 2 lol

Did u find a solution to yours though?
Thought I'd chime in and say I've flashed mine from stock no issue at all.

Same process as a mhd flash. Much faster and firmer shifts as a result of stage 3 maps. I'm a big fan.

Most common issue is with people running alpina flash because the alpina flash wasn't done properly (didn't code tcu coding table) but it fails on backup (which means the car is untouched) and is simply a case of getting the alpina flash done properly first.
